A woman who lost her teeth breaking up a fight between her two boyfriends and was only able to release her first album by being tricked into thinking it wasn’t being recorded. thank u Karen and your 12 string guitar. I couldn’t possibly just pick one song of yours to showcase
There are SO MANY MORE -- yes Joni of course, the goddess; but also so many unsung artists like Sibylle Baier, Linda Perhacs, Molly Drake (Nick's mom), Connie Converse, Elizabeth Cotten, Bridget St. John, the great Sandy Denny from Fairport Convention, the amazing Laura Marling, I could go on. Cheralee Dillon was busking and gigging around Portland, OR when I lived there in the '90s; her album "Citron" is a lost classic and this is its best, most personal song.
