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.

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.

Caught them live earlier this month -- they are terrific!

Yes Richard, I agree it is unlikely that Carson's CD covers adversely impact her sales.

Another GwG: Stacy Earle (yes, that Earle), esp. "Simple Gearle." (At risk of thread derailment, I thought of this one after picking up her brother's "Townes"; I'd passed before, but definitely worth 8 bucks used.)

Jazzdoc - great call on the Smoke Fairies. They sound much like the name of the band. Nice production from Jack White too.

John - Been enjoying that Stacy Earle record for a while, nice add to the list. She has a real charm about her and a timeless twang. Nice recording too.

My GwG to add today is Alela Diane, check out To Be Still (2009). She can get a little monotone but I'm a sucker for all the pedal steel and cello so who cares!
