I got hooked on her music when I watched Home of the Brave with a friend of mine. And I’ve seen her live a few times, but they were always smaller sorts of concerts. Were you a fan before or after the movie? I really wish I’d seen that tour in person.

I became a fan in about 1986. I don’t recall when Home of the Brave came out, but I didn’t know about it until several years after I’d been listening to her albums.
Anybody mentioned Dread Zeppelin? They’re fairly mainstream (for a reggae band who specializes in Led Zep covers and whose lead singer is an Elvis impersonator). A good introduction is the “Un-led-Ed” CD. Much like licorice, anchovies, and the Grateful Dead, you’ll either love this music or hate it immediately.
Sorry - I omitted a link in the preceding post to a website for Dread Zeppelin.
