Tori Amos. Sorry I know she's already been listed, but she's really the only female artist that I would list amongst my favorites.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Yay! What's your favorite CD by her? Mine is Boys for Pele.
Also this thread is to partially ramble on about how awesome some of these artists are.
Thanks for listing off your favorites, a lot of these ladies I've never heard of so I'll be looking into it!
Cinephile.
All the others I like have already been gushed over.
Cinephile has a very "Portishead - Dummy" feel to them.
Elodin: "Tombs is for feckless twits who can't chew their own food. My boy's a Re'lar! He has the feck of twenty men!"
Kvothe: “Books are a poor substitute for female companionship, but they are easier to find.”
Simmon: ”It’s just ointment in case you get burned...but if you mix it with piss, it turns into candy.” Sim’s expression was deadpan. “Delicious candy.”
I listened to some of her stuff today on Brice's recommendation. I was glad I did. She's quite good!
I'm going to throw Allison Kraus in the hat.
Good one Ryan. How the hell did I forget her? She and Plant are planning a second album together.
I hope T. Bone Burnett is smart enough to bring back Marc Ribot on guitar and banjo like he did on the first one.
She's amazing and I recently acquired some Etta James for the first time and loved her from the first note.
Now that makes me happy to hear (and it will make Amanda smile when she reads this too). Etta is my favorite singer of all time other than Otis Redding (and they've done several of the same songs!). She can make anything sound good. I recently learned how to play "I'd Rather Go Blind" and couldn't stop smiling about it.
Etta James is completely amazing, I have to agree.
She's one of the most talented female artists I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.
Time spent with cats is never wasted.
I love The Beekeeper, Scarlet's Walk, Boys for Pele, Under the Pink, Little Earthquakes. I have a hard time just picking one, they're all excellent. She's got a new album coming out May 19, Abnormally Attracted to Sin. Can't wait!!!Yay! What's your favorite CD by her? Mine is Boys for Pele.

THIS IS AWESOME. I didn't know she had a new album coming out, I usually find out after the fact and then get all excited. BUT I GET TO BE EXCITED NOWI love The Beekeeper, Scarlet's Walk, Boys for Pele, Under the Pink, Little Earthquakes. I have a hard time just picking one, they're all excellent. She's got a new album coming out May 19, Abnormally Attracted to Sin. Can't wait!!!Yay! What's your favorite CD by her? Mine is Boys for Pele.

My wife has been counting the days for months now. She's as obsessed with Tori as I am with Tom Waits. That's how I first started listening to Tori.
And I'm assuming this means another tour for her, or at least I'm hoping so. She is just amazing to watch live.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
I would think she'd tour again, which always makes me wonder if Matt Chamberlain will be her drummer again. I'd go just to hear him play. He's on so many great albums (especially the one he did with Frisell)
