Nice to see lauracantrell.com getting some recognition in today's Guardian Guide.
Laura Cantrell
This American singer had the honour of being John Peel's favourite listening matter prior to his death last Christmas. It's easy to see what the late DJ enjoyed about her - a voice that's as clear and unprocessed as a mountain stream and an ungarnished approach to songs that's at complete odds with virtually every other country artist. The fact that she's a DJ too might have helped with the fascination - here you'll find an archive of her show Radio Thrift Shop which specialises in classic swing'n'fiddle tunes. Cantrell's official site also serves up a generous portion of free MP3s that'll be certain to convert newcomers. And her new album, Humming By The Flowered Vine, which has a vague New York theme, is played on a constant loop.
