Joan Baez; anyone remember "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down".
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.

I say check out Courtney Adriana Smith Cox and Nita Mega Murray Straus of the Iron Maidens. Courtney http://www.theironmaidens.com/band/images/courtneyband.jpg Nita http://www.theironmaidens.com/band/images/nitastand.jpg Steel Panther and the Iron Maidens http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOxgpRihNSU Warning video has profanity as well some of the usual schtick from Steel Panther. Happy Listening. |
Kami Thompson This is the daughter of Richard and Linda Thompson so there are some damn fine musical genes at play here. She is also sort of a late bloomer, at least as far as recording goes. Her first release just came out entitled Love Lies, there are a host of serious names associated with the record. I think it's very very good, similar in style to dad, kinda folk rock stuff but less Celtic and more toward the US influence. Certainly worth mentioning here. |
Kami Thompson And lets not forget her brother, Teddy Thompson, who is also an excellent musician. Of course he's not a chick, but he does play the guitar pretty damn well like his dad. Not a bad voice either. I like his album, Separate Ways, and his contributions to, I'm Your Man (Leonard Cohen tribute) are excellent as well. He came out with a new album recently called, Bella. Haven't heard it. Great genes indeed! |
