A review many years ago drew parallels with Billie Holiday, certainly the wikipedia background suggests a hard life.
There are, like Cohen, elements of humour written into her songs.
I discovered her music at a time when Mary Black was the darling of the hifi demo. The album Tired and Emotional held its own for me.


George Benson - The Best, a low key compilation drawing on his first few albums for CTI / A&M.

I’ve inherited a small number of her discs and so far enjoyed this one the best. There was a double Cd set ‘the best of’, but the glue from the inside of the CD digipak was on the CD and I could not get it off.

I get the humour and there is definitely the feel of exploring / communicating the issues in a way which engages rather than reports, if that makes sense? She ‘inhabits’ the messiness of experience in her songs in a way that feels very touching and relatable on a personal level rather than just philosophical…Not sure I can find the right words for what I want to say.
