The Sisterhood

For more than twenty years I have been thinking about projects to celebrate women and our contribution to the history of song - This, at last, is it: these are my ten singers, my essential lodestars. If your favourite is missing, I apologise, but with these stories I tell my own, acknowledge my musical tutelage and identify the women who mean so much to me. This album is dedicated to all my musical sisters, to those who went before and to those still making music. Thank you for blazing the trail, for fighting for us all with your irresistible talent and your passionate resolve
