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,

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.

Smoke Fairies: http://smokefairies.com/

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!

A related item: there's an interesting piece on Sarah Jarosz in this month's issue of Acoustic Guitar magazine. Worth reading if you're a fan.

Slightly OT, The same issue features a wonderful interview with Richard Thompson. Definitely worth reading if you're a fan.
