Her best record, Honky Tonk Angel, has been out of print for over 40 yrs, but most of it is included in Up from the Skies: the Polydor Years. She started to devolve pretty quickly after that, but the double-packaged The Real Ellen/Everybody Needs It has more amazing tracks than overkill numbers, so....

I can't say too much cuz there's a NDA involved, but she was signed because a manager heard Hendrix refuse to jam with her anymore because Ellen kept showing him up. She had three flaws - couldnt write, hammered the #### out of every song she performed (she had a stronger voice than Streisand and two octaves more range) and would not take counsel (mostly cuz she was so much more talented - spoke six languages - than everybody) from anyone, esp cuz everyfrikkinfool in the biz wanted to make the next Joplin out of her.

Pride and Joy - Stevie Ray Vaughan - Just a guy and a 12 string.
Something About You - Level 42

Was watching The Cure on MTVs Unplugged the other night with my 12 y.o. daughter; she liked the music (she has probably heard some of these versions before) but she was a little freaked out by the looks of the guys in the band!!
An example - Just like Heaven

Anything and everything from Michael Hedges. The album Breakfsst in the Field is his debut and a perfect place to start.

Can't let this thread go by without featuring the woman i ruined my music career trying to make famous. She jammed w Hendrix regularly in 1966-7, was using phase shifters & many pedal technologies before any man, including the jazz fusion guys and, ten years after i failed to poach her from our oblivious boss, she was pig-farming in Michigan instead of playing stadiums. Listen to all three or none:
