Bird/Finders Keepers    V.A. : Bearded Ladies (VAR,1970-2007)***°'

No review here, but I would like to mention this album, because it has many special voices listed expressing with depth and beauty. Some of these voices are unknown or obscure. Some of them were taken out of the obscurity just recently (reissues). Well done.

Audio : Emma Tricca : "Martin and Me", Lispector : "Peachtree Street" , Lights : "Branches Low",
Jane Weaver : "All These Rivers" , Brigitte Fontaine : "Le Goudron", Cate Le Bon : "disappear"

I gave airplay to the following tracks :

* Tr.3, Magpahi : “horses”
solo singer from Sam & The Plants (UK) http://www.myspace.com/magpahi
(see Sam & The Plants reviewed on http://www.psychedelicfolk.com/acidfolkreview16.html#anchor_400)
In 2008 she got an EP release. Review here
* Tr.7, Bonnie Dobson : “Milk and honey”

In 2008 I reviewed on album here
* Tr.8, Turid : “Lat mig se dig”
I have 2 LP's by her. One goes in the direction of Joni Mitchell. There exist a very good Swedish compilation of her work (on Silence Records).
* Tr.12, Jane Weaver : “All these rivers”
Info : http://www.myspace.com/janelouiseweaver
* Tr.13, Brigitte Fontaine : “Le Goudron”
I did a complete radioshow on her once. She has an absolutely interesting repertoire, almost from start to finish. I found her album Genre Humain from 1995 still brilliant. Later albums I heard I liked less. I have most of her early albums which are most often essential.
