Musical discoveries of the week

In my travels across the vast series of tubes we now know as the internet, I've discovered this great new to me musical group from Canada:
They're known as The Good Lovelies. They play really fun and harmonious 'roots' music. I hate that term but they use it themselves so I can as well. In their case 'roots' means they sing and back themselves up with guitars and mandolins.
All three of the are hubba hubba to the nth degree and even more than that what I love about them is how much fun they look like they are having while singing and playing their distinctive music.There's nothing better than being entertained by smart, funny, uber talented women.

Here's a great video of theirs:


While at my local library yesterday I perused the jazz CD's. And it was there that I found this great CD:I'm totally in love with this French jazz vocalist now. She sings predominantly in English on this CD but when she sings in her native tongue, it's va va va voom and hubba hubba all wrapped up in one beautiful package. Her English songs are flawless and they have that cute sound that non native speakers have when they use our language.
I highly recommend both Ms. Knopfler and The Good Lovelies.
