How sad! condolences to family, friends and fans.

She used her voice to mimic the guitar, an incredible technical
feat, and did superb slide guitar.

Certainly deserved to have been better known.

Her FIRST album:

World in Sound(G) WIS1031             LP, CD 2000
FEAR ITSELF
Chris Zaloom, Lead Guitar
Bill McCord, Drums
Steve Cook, Bass
Paul Album, Bass
Eddy Kramer, Piano
Ellen McIlwaine, Rhythm & Slide guitar, Organ & Harmonica

1. Crawling Kingsnake
2. Underground River
3. Bow'd Up
4. For Suki
5. In My Time of Dying
6. The Letter
7. Lazarus
8. Mossy Dream
9. Billy Gene
10. Born Under a Bad Sign

a bunch of albums for POLYDOR, STONEY PLAIN, United Artists
and other labels.

Last album, to my knowledge:
MYSTIC BRIDGE (CD, 2007)

I think there were some privately issued videos - anyone
have listings ???? Thanks.

Thomas.
