Hi all
Just wanting to know if anyone can add to my list, of similar sounding female singers.Here goes , just to start the ball rolling.
Gretchen Lieberum "brand new morning"
Rickie Lee Jones "priates , flying cowboys , the magazine"
Dido " life for rent , safe trip home ( my favourite at the moment )
Mary Chapin Carpenter " between here and gone"
Kathyrn Williams " dog leap stairs , old low light "
Any help of finding new female singers , or even similar male singers, would be great .As always looking for somthing new to listen to
cheers lancer

A couple of more names for your list:

- Brand new (CD just released this week) - Diane Birch "Bible Belt"
- Tracy Chapman - distinctive folk-rock voice
- Karrin Allyson - jazz influences
- Suzanne Vega - good alterative sound
- Fiona Apple - another alt singer
- Erin Bode - think of a jazz/pop Alison Krauss with Dido phrasing- start with "The Little Garden
- Anna Nalick "Wreck of the Day" - another very recent release. If you like Dido, you'll like her.

Plenty more but this and the others is a good starter list.

Melody Gardot. Don't miss this newcomer's two Verve albums, "Worrisome Heart" and "My One and Only Thrill," the latter also available on vinyl.

5 to start with:

Dusty Springfield - "Dusty in Memphis"
Shelby Lynne - "Just a Little Lovin'" (covers the above)
Marti Jones - "Used Guitars"
Joan Armatrading "Track Record"
Jennifer Warnes "The Hunter" (best sound quality of any pop/rock recording in my collection).

Check out Ingrid Michaelson & Missy Higgin's. Both artists are a bit more current, but very good.
