Female singer/songwriters

[merc_man]

Outside of the gay community am I alone in liking this particular genre of music. Love listening to a bit of Sheryl Crow etc.

[elster]

With Cheryl Crow, yes you are gay.

With good ones, no I like good female singers.

Cerys Matthews has a great voice and her two solo albums are very good, also i still have a spft spot for Sarah Cracknell...

[telecat]

I have albums by Kate Bush, Catatonia, Shakesphere's Sister, Sheryl Crow, Basia etc. A good song is a good song.

[Alexandra]

So many to choose! I like Martha Wainwright. Dolores O'Riordan (Cranberries), Stevie Nicks, EmmyLou Harris, Alanis Morissette...

There's 1000's of awesome ladies putting incredible music together, it's not all X-Factor & Madonna.

I like a bit of KT Tunstall

[jimothy]

I'm a big fan, current favourites are Missy Higgins and Sara Bareliss (sp?)

[Greg964]

These lucky ladies made it onto my ipod:
Nina Simone
Fontella Bass (with Cinematic Orchestra)
Georgia Anne Muldrow
Erykah Badu
Camille Dalmais (with Nouvelle Vague)
Sharon Jones
Ursula Rucker (with the Roots/4hero)
Tracey Thorn (with Tiefschwarz/Massive Attack)
Carina Andersson (with 4hero)
Not on ipod, but Minnie Riperton, Madeleine Peyroux & Alison Krauss are worth a mention.

My favourite recorded female vocal ever was something Clare Torry sang on in '73

Sam Brown did it better in 94 though.

Saw her at Glasto 2007

Mainly to get out of the rain.

Even being small and quite cute does in no way make power ballads acceptable.

And funny. She was good on buzzcocks.
Agree about the ballads though

[merc_man]

Not heard of Sia and Tina Dico before but having since listened I must agree they are rather good.
