This singer-songwriter passed me by in her heyday of the early seventies. The late, much-missed John Peel was an ardent fan and she was on his Dandelion Records label. He also produced some of her records. On a whim, I bought this collection. There is something about her work that really appeals to me: she play guitar very well and writes intriguing lyrics and has a wonderful voice. The CD collection gives a good selection though some of the older BBC recordings are not up to modern standards.
A particlur favourite of mine is this song:
The CD collection also includes this live concert from France:
She stopped recording for many years after going to live in America, which is why she is isn't more well known. She has only relatively recently resurfaced. I am glad to have found her music after all this time. I hope others enjoy it too.

- brings back memories of late night John Peel (yes, I miss him a lot too) radio programmes that I listend to on my tiny transistor radio wired into a huge wooden cabinetted TV amp/speaker (rest of telly didn't work - it was my bedside table) to make the sound better.
Jo whoever he is.
