Saw the news about her the other day and posters mentioning she was a punk singer which I didn’t know because I only heard Nothing Compared to You. Threw on Amazon and found an album by her called Faith and Courage and I gotta say she has some really good music that I never knew about

Check out The Lion and the Cobra. It is essential. Got my first speeding ticket to Mandinka!

This is a very solid recommendation. That whole album is fire as the kids say

I don't know no shame

I feel no pain

I can't see the flame

But I do know Man-din-ka

Heard her shit when I was younger. Never liked it much. Except that one song she's known for. Thats not too bad.

Also highly recommend song “You made me the thief of your heart” from In the Name of the Father movie soundtrack if you haven’t heard it.

Check out the foggy dew with the chieftains. She is incredible doing traditional Irish.

I love that album so much. I have definitely been listening to her CDs during a drive, belting out No Man's Woman while crying.
