Woman tone

[martin manning]

...as in female vocalists. Some of my fav's: Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin, Mavis Staples, Joni Mitchell, Nora Jones. I love Janis Joplin's singing, but for a different reason. Dianna Krall tone, not so much- compare her version of "Walk On By" with Dionne Warwick's.

I gotta say Aretha Franklin, Sarah Brightman, Ann & Nancy Wilson, and Eartha Kitt have always done it for me.

Here's another in a different vein, Bonnie Raitt, along with Nora Jones, and there is amp tone content that will interest some TAG'ers here too. Kind of brings home the idea of "voicing" an amp, eh? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzDUi_L6 ... MIGq7PTBGg

I saw Kat Edmonson on Austin City Limits and was impressed.

Shameless plug for my sister's woman tone.
Singing a lyric she wrote on a Mingus tune:

A bit of Billie influence here......

One of the strongest female voices, Linda Perry.
