Best Female Vocalists Ballads


I am on the lookout to add to my extensive collection of music. It's been a while since I was 'on the lookout' for such.
My favorite music is ballads, male and female. Any suggestions on music spanning, say the past 5 or six years?
Album name AND Artist.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I haven't seen the name Kat Edmundson...(sp?)
She's a clone of Joanie Sommers from the mid sixties.
Great music.

Kate Wolf sings some great ballads. I would look for her live album "Give Yourself to Love" or her greatest hits "Gold in California"

If you like this sort of western/cowboy/folk style music, I do not think you will be disappointed.

Thanks to Lrsky for this excellent thread idea
