Most underrated female recording artists..

She is "new" and NOT what I would call a "great voice" by any means, but I like her approach to putting her poems to music--Hailey Whitters.  This is what people call "country music," so it is not for everybody. 

The songs are basic as they are meant to be, and like most popular music, somewhat "catchy."  Anyway, just giving her a plug--hope she does well in the profession.

Cheers!

Thank you for the Jane Oliver recommendation.

I attended one of her first concerts, Lincoln Center, around 1975, right after her first album was released. She was magnificent. The album is the same, as is her second and her most recent ones too. She is wonderful.

@rettrussell yeah, sort of like Bjork.  Her albums are sometimes sonic "ordeals" to get through, but one thing they are not, is boring. 

I guess Jen Chapin is underrated here. The recording in her albums "Reckoning", "The Songs of Stevie Wonder", etc., were good too in SS / separation.

Also, not mentioned so far is Halie Loren.  Many good recording albums too.

Toni Tenille (of the Captain &) is a terrific singer. Don't let her popular success fool you.
