Over and above the sheer beauty of her writing and singing is the extreme adversity she's had to overcome to get there. Read that bio again and be amazed.
I forget now how I was introduced to her but this album made me a fan forever: http://www.allmusic.com/album/my-one-and...0000811208 The Usual Suspect has her stuff for a reasonable price.

Thanks Jazz,
I'm thinking about getting a couple of her albums today as they're reasonable priced here also
Is there two you would recommend to me as a starting point/intro??

With only 4 major releases out, you can't go wrong with any of them. She showed great progress between CD 1 and CD 2. She's only 30 so a brilliant future lies ahead. http://www.allmusic.com/artist/melody-ga...iscography << That live album is strictly a collector's item--its equal for a live perf is on YouTube.
