My Heart, Hey Mann, Strange... the woman's voice takes mere, simple words and turns them into evocative, soulful feelings! Well done on the MOBO nomination Lizz, Lord knows you deserve that accolade and a hell of a lot more!

I'm an idiot for not paying any attention to her. I love The Orchard, I need to get my hands on her other albums. http://soulmusic4u.blogspot.com/

Discovered here through the new cd...great version of Led Zep's 'Thank You' & The Band's 'It Makes No Difference', but her own tunes are stunning...'Coming Home' in particular...I want more of this stuff that doesn't rely on the vocal school of gymnastics! Beautiful.

More people need to know about her, stat! Her music's too good to go (relatively) unnoticed.
