Any recommendations for folk ballads sung by a woman, in english, with minimal accompaniment, like maybe a guitar and or some drums but not, like. A whole cacophonous band.

Any culture, I was looking for icelandic and irish recently but I'll take whatever, including from USA, Canada, etc.

Can anyone recommend an instrumental slide guitar blues album or artist?

I'd also prefer if it's not a scratchy old recording.

Thank you, I will. For me, listening to the blues is basically being told "go listen to your parent's music".

Sim City 3000 is one of my favorite soundtracks ever, but I don't even know where to begin to find more songs or bands that sound like Night Life, Sim Broadway, and UpDown town. "Jazz" is way too vague, but if anyone wants to give any of those three songs a listen and help me out, I'd appreciate it. If I had to pick one song to represent what I want, it'd be Sim Broadway one it gets going.

I like rhapsody in blue, but the Piano sections don't have the big, loud, upbeat energy I get from Sim Broadway. I'll check out the Polygon piece.

Edit: interesting interview about the Sims, which I'd never really played, but I gave the sound track a listen and it's not quite the same. Frustratingly, telling streaming services to play music similar to Sim City 3000 is just getting me various OSTs.


Edit: Oh, hey:

If you like the soundtrack I could also direct you to some similar artists that greatly influenced the album such as: John Coltrane, Miles Davis (earlier work), Art Blakey, Sonny Rollins, Cannonball Adderley, Dave Brubeck, Herbie Hancock and Dexter Gordon.
