Anyone know who this is........?

[Erik Estrada]

Hi all,

In Bangkok last week, and listening to a CD in a bar, but the owner had no idea who it was. It was a CD album of Bob Marley covers, sung by a female singer, in quite a chilled out acoustic guitar style.
I know it sounds naff, but actually it was rather good. The only thing google shows up is "Bossa and Marley", which it definitely isn't.

Any help wins a virtual pint, or a real one if the person is near Solihull.


Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the effort chap. Are these not just randoms hosting vids of themselves? The album in question was a properly released effort, the bar owner just had a ripped copy...

I'm a massive fan so happy to put a little bit of time in.

Just downloaded Spotify and found loads of cover albums.

Here's a few really mellow acoustic versions I've found, if you have spotify, I'll post playlist

Acoustic Coffee House <- worth listening to anyway
Island All Stars

I'll keep editing this post with more, rather than spamming, does she sound like anyone in particular?

Is there a particular song you remember being played?

A link to the Island All Stars version. http://www.audiolunchbox.com/album?a=224290

You sir are a hero. Thank you very much. It took a few trips down the Khao San road without anyjoy, and you have cracked it.

Virtual pints for you, and real ones if you venture our way.
