She's fantastic. I loved her album with the Drive-by Truckers a few years ago.
It's amazing how her voice has kept that grit, when most great singers lose it in their later years. Happened to Aretha and Jagger. Great resurgence.

I have her "new" CD (Interpretations: The British Rock Songbook) with great covers including Salt of the Earth, Night in White Satin, Wish You Were Here, All my Love, No time to live, Love Reign O’er Me and many Beatles (group/solo) covers
