I don't know if it's just because it's a voice I grew up with so much, but I suspect will always think that Judy Collins is one of the best singers I've heard. The clarity and power are just absolutely what I want for ballad-type songs.

This may have already passed the radar of those on this site, but there's a great "bardcore" scene around on the intertubes at the moment, converting popular music into a more medieval (I expect ahistorical) style.

It is a moonquest day.

New band recommendation is Cantica, who only have four songs on YouTube but the vocal melodies in their covers of Sera Was Never and Empress of Fire are really really nice.

Yet more varied international takes on Dragon Age music - a Ukrainian cover of The Dawn Will Come.

Here's a multinational jam with a cat that I found quite nice
