Best folk singer you've never heard of
Her voice is pure pleasure. Highly recommended.
Her voice is pure pleasure. Highly recommended.
I found her by cruising through similar artists to the ones I like, and she's great. Moody, with fabulous stacked harmonies.
With so many artists around, I keep finding I have overlooked some real gems in the rubble. Antje Duvekot was one of these. I suggest Dublin Boys, Judas and Sex Bandaid to start with.
I discovered Antje's music some time ago, can't remember how, and now have all three of her cds - only the last of which (with Ellis Paul as sponsor) is commercially produced. This one is absolutely delightful, but a strange download challenge. You will want to avoid the talk parts, but do sample them, as she has a lovely manner. The music is excellent, and her voice is beguiling. If you want to see her perform, try YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKnTpRvdQJI).
