I hate to admit it, but I never heard of her. What a great voice. I watched a few more of her videos and I'm impressed with her style of music. She's easy on the eyes to boot. Smile

I believe I have just about every release of hers, well, except this new one.

I really like her voice and music arrangements. A voice made for tube gear.

I just recently bought No Angel and Life for Rent on iTunes to replace my long lost CDs.

Nope, I don't remember it. I was going through a retro country and western phase at that time. I'll be making up for it though. Of the songs I've watched so far I think 'White Flag' is my favorite but they are all good. Did I mention that she is easy on the eyes as well? Big Grin

White Flag was my favorite of hers as well. I always liked her voice.

Another vote for White Flag. I like a lot of her stuff, but that song is my favorite.

Never heard of her before, a good singer but not really my type of music.

Another song of hers that I always liked a lot is "This Land is Mine"

I didn't really know her, but searched for songs for a romantic playlist a while back and "Who makes you feel" ended up on my list.

A great song in any season.
