この方、普通に話す声はごく普通なのに、いざ歌う声になると同じ声とは思えない、何とも言えない透明な声になるのですね。
ひょっとしたらＣＤから10年近くたって声も変ってしまったのかも。残念ですが、あり得ることです。
The song and interview is from the "What's in a Song" music series, a co-production of the Western Folklife Center (Elko, Nevada), broadcast on NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday, March 22, 2009.

It was an absolute delight to co-host a fundraiser for Kansas City's community radio station, KKFI 90.1 FM, with Democracy Now's Amy Goodman. KKFI supporters gathered at the IBEM Local No. 124 on April 5 for a brunch, live music and an an electrifying speech from Amy. My concert and Amy's talk will soon be available on CD from KKFI. Amy very kindly gave us a nice mention on the April 6, 2009 broadcast of Democracy Now!
