Chicks With Guitars

Their poppin out of the woodwork! I love them, many others here do to. It seems there are often side discussions on this topic in the "best of" threads but I don't recall a dedicated spot for these lovely ladies. Hope to pick up a few new artists to listen to and maybe offer up a few to y'all.

List your chick with guitar favorites here:

A few to kick it off....

Laura Marling
Martha Tilston
Emily Jane White
Sharon Van Etten
Marissa Nadler
Caroline Herring
Rachel Harrington
Sara Jaffe
Tyler, the Creator...ok, I just slipped that one in to see if anyone would notice...

I could go on and on but these are some good ones I thought would be a decent start.

Richard's got his finger on the pulse of my hard drive for sure. Great stuff from all here and one of my personal favorite genres. Much of my faves are on Richard's lists. I'll try to add a few that may not have been mentioned yet.

Rory Block
Gillian Welch
Emily Barker
Deb Talan
Carla Bruni
Patty Griffin
Dar Williams
Beth Orton
Agnes Obel
Patty Larkin

Chrissie Hynde, Sheryl Crow, and Joan Baez. None are new but all deserve credit for their body of work. Also, Joni
Mitchell, but I think she was already mentioned.

Ok, this makes me feel a little creepy Marco. I already had to explain to Stacy...."I met this guy online....". I think I need to go build something with power tools and watch football.

Great list developing. I'll be sampling music for hours this weekend.

Marco,

Dar is a flat-out great lyricist. "Christians and Pagans" manages to address a big issue (tolerance) while remaining true to finely drawn character observations (family at Christmas). Probably as good an example of this style of songwriting as I've ever encountered.
