Well, whatever "pure" means, and whatever genre we're talking about: ~ Jo Stafford - WW II-era; my Dad had a 78 RPM record with her doing "I'lll String Along With You" ~ Anita O'Day - ~ Inevitably Emmy Lou ~ Iris Dement - did anyone hear her do "That's The Way Love Goes" (Lefty Frizell tune) on Prairie Home Companion recently with Garrison Keillor mooing along in the background? ~ Lucinda Williams - Little Darlin' Pal O' Mine, Can't Let Go, Jackson - Merritt "It's all one big note." - Frank Zappa
