@christineb thank you for re-jamming my selection, unfortunately the subject isn't a happy one, but I am sure it will be appreciated by many of your followers on TIMJ.
What I've heard of Melody before, mainly jazzier stuff, I haven't been too keen on. But this bluesy style is a revelation. Powerful stuff all around :-)

Couldn't hear anything at first, but it was my bad : sound was cut off on the computer and I did not notice

There's something in her voice - and subject matter - that has me thinking Nina Simone
