She just isn't that type of singer, she is unique and certainly does not consider herself a folk singer at all. Diamond Day is an amazing record and she is an absolute diamond of a woman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36826061.post-52292417941545546472007-08-10T09:30:00.000+01:002007-08-10T09:30:00.000+01:00She'll get you in the end, Gatz...She'll get you in the end, Gatz...Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02338991522618100015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36826061.post-72680192290709245392007-08-09T22:03:00.000+01:002007-08-09T22:03:00.000+01:00I might give Diamond Day another go Rob.

As it happens I've just heard a song of her's called something like 'Sugar Elephants' on Last FM (I'm playing 'songs like' Fairport Convention because I'm of to Cropredy tomorrow). I must admit I liked it more than I remember liking VB before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36826061.post-46134822079553086652007-08-09T21:04:00.000+01:002007-08-09T21:04:00.000+01:00Hey Gatz: I love Anne and Norma and Linda and Sand...Hey Gatz: I love Anne and Norma and Linda <I>and</I> Sandy (especially Sandy), but I love Vashti's voice because it's so unlike the others. It doesn't fall into an easily recognisable style and - for many people - it's just <I>too</I> mannered, too different. So I hear you. But it works for me every time...Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02338991522618100015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36826061.post-65641679107293902372007-08-09T19:16:00.000+01:002007-08-09T19:16:00.000+01:00I may get lynched for writing this but in my opini...I may get lynched for writing this but in my opinion Vashti Bunyan, well, just isn't very good. The simple tunes and little girl vocals don't contain any hidden depths. A shame, because the back story is grat. If you want great woman folk(ish) singers of the era then Anne Briggs, Norma Waterson, Linda Thompson, Sandy Denny and more easily out-sing and out-class her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
