1000 Kisses is a great one. I would say that Roseanne Cash meets Eva Cassady is a pretty good description. Definately a little country flavor. And if you are looking for something new in the female R&B vein (w/o the country), try Joss Stone. Awesome eponymous first release, being sold (at Borders at least) for a bargain $7.99 for about 40 minutes worth. I would compare her to Eva Cassady or Tracy Nelson (white women singing R&B) and even dare to whisper Aretha Franklin.
