Felt like making a thread for this phenomenal songwriter and vocalist. Oh and for those who aren't familiar with her, I'd recommend checking out the following youtube link: "The Highwayman" Which is basically the "Master of Puppets" of Celtic/World Music.

I have The Book of Secrets. My mom was a big fan back in the day, which is how I discovered her. Plus I really liked the radio mix of The Mummers' Dance. If I were to ever buy another of her albums it would be The Mask and the Mirror. Dante's Prayer is a beautiful song, and the main melody in The Highwayman is also great. When I first heard it, I swore I've heard it before somewhere else. Still haven't figured it out. This is a shitty paragraph.

Strange Deja-Vu?

Seen her live three times (Sadly, not very recently) and have every album she's ever recorded. 

Amazing, Amazing live. So talented.
