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.

Yes Richard, Neko deserves mention for her "Wayfaring."

More in the GwG range:

Cailin Cary, formerly of Whiskeytown: their "Faithless Street" is iconic alt country -- or as they say in Cackalcky, y'allternative. Caitlin's "While You Weren't Looking," is a good one, as is "Sweetwater," by her band Tres Chicas.

Kendal Carson also very nice. Both "Alright Dynamite" and "Rearview Mirror Tears" worth having.

John ...those are both great suggestions, thanks. I especially liked the samples from Kendal Carson ...I did notice she happens to be hot too.

Marty....One last comment about 16HP/WH...I meant to mention that the album you ordered, Consider The Birds, has one of my favorite WH songs, Oil On Panel (track 6). Intense.

Richard,

Thanks for the add'l info.

The Sarah Jarosz was great, but I'm still working thru inventory to get to the Sun Kil Moon/RHP/Mark Kozelek CDs I recently picked up at your recommendation. You're starting to threaten Robert Baird as my primary lead for new music.
