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

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).

Marty

Check for the following female artists:

Jennifer Warnes - The Well;
Marianne Faithfull - Easy Come Easy Go;
Mary Coughlan - The House Of Ill Repute;
Barb Jungr;
Joni Mitchell;
Debe Welch.

I'm sure you will like those voices.
Check out Ingrid Michaelson & Missy Higgin's. Both artists are a bit more current, but very good.
Bette Midlers:

1)Bette Midler Sings The Rosemary Clooney Songbook
2)Sings the Peggy Lee Songbook [DUAL DISC]

Both disc's are filled with well recorded pop standards. These two disc have been leaders in my collection, meaning they have led to other recording artist.
New Femaale Singers:

Rachael Yamagata (Elephants)
Sara Watkins (SaraWatkins)
Beth Rowley (Little Dreamer)

The Beth Rowley CD is a no-brainer winner.
