I first saw Wendy Matthews doing backing vocals, along with Kate Cebrano for the Models at the Kingston Hotel in Richmond. She was great then and got even better. She is one of Australia's great singers.
From her wonderful Album - Lily. There are some real greats on this Album, Booker T, T Bone Burnett, Jon Farriss, Alex Acuna and more.

Walk Away,
At times, Wendy for some reason, reminds me of Rita Coolidge. Something about her intonation. Hard to describe, but maybe a "slightly blocked nose" sound is the best I can do. A hint of velvet and breathiness.
In any event it made them quite different to most singers and both are truly mint.
