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.

Another vote for Laura Veirs. Her album "July Flame" is a favorite.

Off the mainstream radar is Heather Woods Broderick with a album "From The Ground" on the Preservation label.

Marco I'm listening to the new Feist now and it's quite good. I was not a huge fan of The Reminder or Let It Die but this one I like. Not that the other 2 I have are bad, just maybe a little to sweet for my taste. Metals, the new record, sounds more grounded, mature and interesting. Definitely the best of her work that I have heard. Not sure fans of the other albums will dig this one so it's also a little risky for her. Let me know what you think.

I love the debut LP from Sallie Ford "Dirty Radio" sallieford.com

Also a fan of Alison Mosshart of the Kills. Their new release "Blood Pressures" is terrific

Yes, additional thumbs up for the new Feist and Lisa Hannigan - both are excellent.
