"Yes, Matti -- I have most of Siberry's albums, and even met her once.  I talked to her one-on-one for about 10 minutes, around the time of her 2nd album. She's very original, a good writer, a fine singer, and a terrific person -- very easy to talk to."

That's interesting, Peter. Can you remember what you talked about?

It seems that female singer-songwriters prefer to have a solo career than to be a singer-songwriter in a band. And ladies in music are either very creative or just a singer-idols in the commercial business. That's one reason ladies are quite few in prog, and solo careers - think of Kate Bush - are seldom categorized as prog anyway.

Matti wrote: I adored Kate Bush in my teens (and I still like her). Canadian JANE SIBERRY has been my special favourite about 16 years already. Anyone here know her? She has also progressive elements in her music.

Yes, Matti -- I have most of Siberry's albums, and even met her once.  I talked to her one-on-one for about 10 minutes, around the time of her 2nd album. She's very original, a good writer, a fine singer, and a terrific person -- very easy to talk to.

I also quite like Kate Bush.

Outside prog or near prog, I'm a big fan of Lucinda Williams, Annie Lennox, Joan Armatrading, Maddy Prior, and many others.

Oh yeah: Joni Mitchell, Suzanne Vega, Tracy Chapman, and Beth Orton too.

Lots in the realm of trad/Celtic.

The list goes on....
