Take a listen to the first song on the list "Wisdom Guide Me"
I can't think of another folksinger with her incredible voice, on some of her songs, Judy Collins comes to mind but that is just an approximation, this girl is GREAT! Also a great songwriter.
I came across her song Wisdom on a Sing Out subscription where you get a CD of the songs written about in the magazine. That issue, 46 #2, also featured Bruce Cockburne on his song 'The Mines of Mozambique' A chilling song about the hidden mines blowing up the feet and legs of children. 'War is the artist and it sows a bitter seed'.
But take a listen to Eileen, she is worth the effort to go to her site!

Did you ever listen to his 'mines' song?
