Concrete Blonde/Johnette Napolitano
« on: March 09, 2021, 08:43:17 AM »
Are there here some fans of this band and their singer/songwriter/bass player Johnette Napolitano?

I just found about them a few months ago and i think they have recorded many great songs...and Napolitano has a fantastic voice, incredible.

Johnette Napolitano from the band Concrete Blonde...quite powerful voice:


"Quite" a powerful voice???? What! One of the best female vocalists ever!  :)  Concrete Blonde are one of my favourite bands. A grossly underrated band. Their albums Bloodletting and Mexican Moon are fantastic.

If you want to hear her really at full tilt, listen to this:

Very true - awesome band/singer!

I am a big Wall of Voodoo / Andy Prieboy fan and learned about her through their co-operation on the song "Tomorrow Wendy". Immediately loved her voice and started checking out the band.

To be honest it has been a while since I last listened to them...but I really should do that one of these days!

"Group therapy" and "Bloodletting" are their best albums maybe. Here are a few of Concrete Blonde's great songs:

Yes it's a catchy song!
You should check out Johnette's new album she still has her incredible voice! and in Concrete Blonde she was a good bass player, too.

A few others songs i like:

"Caroline":
