I too really enjoyed your adventures with Jonatha, Michael.
Thanks. Although I've heard the name, for some reason I've
not heard any of her music over here. Can you, or anyone else,
recommend a good place to start?
In Vancouver, I made a point of going to see Jennifer Kimball,
whose harmony singing on Lucy Kaplansky's 'Just You Tonight'
had caught my ear in a big way. I thought she was fabulous as
a solo artist in her own right and I've been raving about her to
everyone ever since.
Looking through her website at www.jenniferkimball.com I was
pleased to find this in an interview:-
> ACE: Who has influenced your music?
> JENNIFER: Joni Mitchell of course. I would say of all the
> songwriters who are girls playing the guitar and singing,
> she would probably be the one that I was the most moved
> by. So heady and complicated, and challenging, and
> emotional and it's vicious and it's soft. Some of it's even
> schmaltzy - the old stuff - I love it, and some of it has a
> great edge to it and that moves me. I've never actually
> tried her songs. I thought they were way too complicated.
> They have some really hard chord changes. Not folk guitar.
