I’d never heard Rumer until I saw your reply. I’m currently playing Live from Lafayette on Qobuz to rectify the omission. Very nice voice indeed! Funnily enough, I shall be seeing her next November as she’s performing with Julia Fordham, Beverley Craven and Judie Tzuke on their follow-up Woman to Woman tour.

Robert Plant & Alison Kraus - Raising Sand (Rounder 2LP)
Given the Raise The Roof fest on here currently thought it timely to whip out the first one for a revisit.
Not taking anything away from Raise The Roof which is good but I do still think this is better..
