Greetings, it's my first time posting in this section as I have been listening to ONLY Leonard since May, literally, and was waiting until I would get the sign to take a break and move on for a bit.
I've been discovering Martha Wainwright lately. Listening to first two albums non-stop! In her own very special way she reaches similar depths of darkness and intensity as Leonard. I first saw her on I'm Your Man and instantly liked her unusual voice, although I thought maybe it's too "sweet" sounding. Now after listening over and over again, her voice has become gritty and sorrowful. Lyrically she's painfully deep and her delivery is equally intense. I also love the instrumention.
I'd like to also check out some Rufus, and Louden, but don't know where to begin. Any suggestions?

Re: Martha Wainwright
Anyone see it when Dappy mistook Martha Wainwright for Cerys Matthews? HILARIOUS!

Yes, I did - he's not the brightest of kids is he?!
