To Guest Marty,
Yes, I have also been a long, long time fan of Anne Byrne & Joan Baez. I live in USA but came to know of Anne's music during the 1980's. I am from UK originally and when I was visiting England & Ireland during the 1980's, I started to find Anne's albums in various record shops but later found a few of her albums in the L.A. area.
Since you are a fan of this kind of beautiful folk voice, you might enjoy the singing of American folk singer, Dayle Stanley from Massachusetts. She only had two LP's released in the 1960's. I have both and really enjoy her singing. My two favorite songs are her cover of "Shenandoah" and an original song called "Letter from the Willow Tree."
She has that lovely soaring soprano folk voice that I love. Sadly, she passed away earlier this year I believe. Her songs can be heard on Youtube. Just type in her name, Dayle Stanley and it will bring up all the songs from her two albums. Never released on CD's.
