    she is such an amazing, AMAZING guitarist. she has a rare gift.. its called "Feel". its the dynamics, the way the note is played, the amount of force, the amount of vibrato... the timing of the next note. I haven't been this transfixed by a guitarist since Jeff Buckley. Johnny Greenwood from Radiohead has this innate gift too, but he rarely plays guitar anymore (and virtually never just a clean tone in 15 or more years). Jeff Martin from The Tea Party can play like this.....but its been a long time since he's played music this 'raw' (electric clean into a tube amp).
    Anna - you stand alone!!! one part Jeff Buckley, another part Blixa Bargeld... and thankfully.. the largest part ANNA CALVI.
    bless your beautiful soul.

      Coldacre Johnny DOES play clean guitar even in their most recent stuff. just take a listen to the PERFECT arpeggio he does on the song "Nude". Gives me chills big big time. Not to mention his very recent project Junun, where he mostly plays a clean Les Paul. And his renditions of steve reichs's works and so on

      Coldacre i totally agree, that playing just blows me away and i get goosebumps everytime. Her strumming is mesmerising !!how she hits those strings like circular movement. She is classically trained at the violin which is an influence. My Son is a guitarist & he 1st picked up the violin when he had some lessons at school, then he picked up my guitar as i played guitar which i Don't anymore. Anyway he loved it enough to start playing and drop his violin lessons.
      His violin tutor kept ringing up to get him back as he said he is brilliant on violin and he reckoned he was gifted & going places but no he wanted to do guitar !!
      He got a top degree at uni, now doing his masters and im so proud ☺

      Coldacre Certainly agree...a little recommendation tho. If you know who’s Marc Ribot (or don’t) go definitely check out his band Ceramic Dog...I’ve seen them live a few months ago and it was the most intense musical experience I’ve ever had. They’re just so insanely off the hook/thrashing/out of control but at the same time very very nuanced and pro. I remember a great moment Marc turning volume knob all the way down on a Jaguar (so just the bare string plucking was heard) and the drummer (Ches) was licking his hands, and producing these “woooaaa” “weeey” sounds on the membranes of his drums...then all of a sudden a massive fuzz tone as he turned the knob back and the bassplayer just started some random shit noise on MiniMoog or sum. Also there was a Theremin virtuoso Pamelia Kurstin jammin with them. I.N.S.A.N.E!!!

    Very reminiscent of Ry Cooder's soundtrack to 'Paris, Texas' . Gorgeous sense of time in suspense, immense barren spaces, desert heat and a soul searching, lost in the vapors. Is it me or does she highly resemble Mick Jagger's daughter, Georgia ?

    You are so very right in most of what you are saying. I was just somewhat offended and slightly dumbfunded by the idea that rock/folk/pop/metal vocalists would in no way have a dynamic range like a jazz crooner. It is true that a crooner often uses his/her amplitude much more fluently, but much like you are saying, this a problem with the mic work in general, and it has nothing to do with "rock singers" or some sort of special crooner technique.
