Has anyone got any excellent recommendations for music (or tracks) with very high quality voice, particualrly close mic'd vocals? The style of music isn't so important, and I'm guessing recommendations are more likely to be female vocal based, but some male vocal would be nice too. Thanks in advance  |

Either of these two albums are excellent - particularly No Frontiers. Mary Black has a superb voice.

Some tracks more than others - just little bits here and there.

Leonard Cohen - I'm Your Man. A fine voice, gravelly but not as much as latter years.

I assumed we were looking for well recorded vocals.

Dig out Josh Groban singing "Let me Fall" from the Cirque de Soleil.
Allegra is good also... and,for me,KT Tunstalls vocals are excellent. Try this ...
Another that springs to mind is Maria Callas singing Casta Diva. There's a live version which is very good....
Johnny Cash singing One.
Enjoy.
