I had thought of posting this before (and in fact just got done scrolling back and back to be sure I hadn't, 'cause memory very finicky these days) because it was a good answer to several previous questions, but...
... there is no hesitation in my saying that this woman was the first female singer/musician that I fell in love with, still am to this day, and I mean with her, not just her magnificent voice and gifted songwriting abilities.
I'm posting this short interview link with her first, before the link below to a song that she did not write, but that always somehow distills the essence of her gift.
And here it is, a traditional tune, with words by Richard Farina, sung acapella (looped with herself), and then finished off with a deeply stirring violin solo by Dave Swarbrick.

Thirty seconds into this, and I'm lost in the moment.
