Girls can play too…
rosinha de valencia - summertime (mp3)
ellen mcilwaine - born under a bad sign (mp3)
marsha hunt’s 22 - (oh no!) not the beast day (mp3)
keeping up with kev’s campaign to get throw out synths and pick up guitars, i’ve decided to share three corkers that feature a bit of female guitar action! first off is the killer ’summertime’, by the amazing female brazilian folkstress, rosinha de valencia. pretty rare orginal, but has been comped a few times, most noteably on the wonderful brazilian beats compilation. this tune really is beautiful, great guitar work, amazing build up and sweet, sweet strings, this is a real treat.
next up is a belter from blues legend ellen mcilwaine. there were so many tunes to pick from her catalogue, but i chose this live recording because it’s just so apparent how incredible she is. even if she is quite obviously bonkers.
the third and final selection is a fat slice of british afro psych funk from marsha hunt’s 22. released on vertigo in 1973, everytime i play this someone comes up and asks what it is, because it’s that good! i don’t think marsha hunt actually plays guitar on it, but her vocals are awesome and the tune is ridiculously guitar heavy.
enjoy!
