I've just heard Maura O'Connell tapes, and think
they're great. Went looking for other Irish
female vocalists of the 90s with that kind of sound.
Found a Mary Black tape which I also think is very
good. Any folks over across the Atlantic (I'm in
Maynard) know of other Irish singers with a similar
sound?

Maura O' Connells new l.p. got a great review in the last issue of Rolling
Stone magazine (3.5 out of 5) . They said lost of lovely things about her voice
and talent but I can't remember what they were...

Article on Mary Black in Tuesday's Guardian. Did you know:-
That of Irish artists, only U2 outsell her in Ireland.
Her latest album "Babes in the Wood" has received rave reviews, and she
is re-releasing her 5 previous albums in the UK.
She is starting to make in-roads into US and Japan.
She is 36, married, with three children.
This article suggested she provoked a rare passion amongst Irish
audiences.

I bought "Mary Black",her first solo album,about 7 years ago.It was
absolutely amazing,covering a whole range of musical styles.The
instrumentation was sparse but brilliant.As is often the case with a
"new" artiste,I didn't enjoy more recent albums as much.I also read in
a Scottish newspaper's entertainment section that she is considered"an
up-and-coming young singer" !!! Not bad for a 36 year old mother of
three!!!
