Craigie Hills, Dolores Keane & Reel Union-1982
I saw Dorlores in concert in Ottawa, Canada, in the late 80's. By this time, her voice was suffering from her heavy smoking habit as she was having trouble finding her breath. Still, she has the most clear and distinctive Irish female voice for her time. You may have heard her on the 'A Womans Heart' CD series singing with other great Irish singers like Mary Black, Eleanor McEvoy, Maura O'Connell and Sharon Shannon. This clip is from TG4, the Irish speaking TV network broadcasting from Dublin.

The BBC Radio2 have been playing her in the evenings and tip her as a best new artist. They compare her voice to Bjork and Dolly Parton!

Devil In Disguise - The Flying Burrito Brothers
A lack-luster TV lip-sync performance, yet still in good form.
Before heroin took the life of Gram Parsons, his band The Flying Burrito Brothers had mild success. As a follow through of the band The Byrds, were Gram's country styled writing took hold and came into its own, The Burritos seemed to be a logical musical path. Young Emmylou Harris and Gram toured together under his banner singing his songs for a while after the Burritos disbanded mainly due to his drug problem. It was Grams association with Keith Richards and his then lifestyle with drugs, that would become fatal for his band and ultimately Parsons. His strong canon of music remains and is covered by many as a tribute to what was and what might have been.

Yikes! Forever-by Pete Drake and his vocoder
This should have one of those 'love to hate' tags. Everything about this is creepy. I don't think those lads are hitting all those high notes either. Watch while trying to avoid an involuntary shudder.

Lil' Liza Jane- Thumbs Carllile & Curly Chalker, Also, Cotton-Eyed Joe- Thumbs Carllile'08
I've never seen this kind of technique played so well by a sighted man. There are certainly benefits to chord variations that can be achieved. Amazing!
