Thread Name: Why is a singer one of your favorites?
Subject: RE: Why is a singer one of your favorites?
There are just so many over the years that I could go on and on and on...

For starters, Dylan, Baez, Judy Collins, Dave Van Ronk, Tom Paxton, Phil Ochs, Raun MacKinnon, Almanac Singers, Weavers, Joni Mitchell; all of the 1980s new folks from Greenwich Village (Jack Hardy, Ilene Weiss, Rod MacDonald, Frank Christian, many others...), Rik Palieri, Robin Greenstein, Vance Gilbert, David Roth, Guy Davis; and the chantey singers such as David Jones, Geoff Kaufmann, Schooner Fare, Dan Milner, and the list goes on.

But as someone said above, for the power of the pipes, intonation and phrasing, no one can beat Eva Cassidy.
