76: Morgan James
Morgan has a soulful voice: big pipes, lots of power, a certain swagger, and incredible technique. But although she has a classic sound, fed by by the likes of Chaka Khan, Nina Simone and Eva Cassidy, she has a modern career. Her path has been completely unexpected, unpredictable, and in some ways unbelievable. Here, as she says, we “dig deep into the journey”. Her new album, Reckless Abandon, came out last month. www.third-story.com
