As I write this I’m listening to one of my favorite CDs ever, by a New York City duo that disbanded a decade ag0 — The Nudes. I love their voices, their quirky lyrics and the deep, delicious, unlikely instrument that defined them — a cello, played by Stephanie Winters, who then played with Walter Parks and now tours with Richie Havens.
I still have 100s of albums I acquired back when vinyl was the only choice, and haven’t heard them in years since the turntable and stereo system died. I miss my music!
Some of those bands or artists have long since disappeared. Whatever happened to The Dream Academy, and their great tune “Life In a Northern Town”? They toured only once, in 1991.
One of my absolute favorites is Tanita Tikaram, (who is, luckily, still playing and touring.)
Who’s your favorite dead-and-gone band? What song of theirs should I hunt down and why?

I was relieved to hear that TT is still rocking. She has such an amazing voice.
