Here's something interesting that was new to me. She's a black female country blues performer (guitar and vocals) from Venice Beach, CA whom one article describes thusly: "War has the sob and throb of Billie Holiday — if Lady Day had emerged in Mississippi and not Harlem during the Depression. As if Bukka White, not Lester Young, were her mentor."
I imagine that some are tempted, on looks alone, to categorize her as the next Tracy Chapman, but it's not a useful comparison:
PS: Thanks to billyshines, whose link to the Anus Kings on another thread sent me searching........Ms. War is a Nashville native and plays punk as well as blues. Heck of a fingerpicker.
