Good female singer/songwriters

[Bailo]

If I'm to sum up my lasses musical tastes, it'd be singer/songwriters of the female persuasion - anyone got any recommendations for Xmas pressies?

 

First person to suggest KT Tunstall gets a slap(nuts).

[Stevie H]

beth orton.

[DazzlaJ]

Alison Moyet

[Tosh]

K T Melua?

[Kahnee]

Fiona Apple's Extroadinary Machine if she likes the more jazz-type stuff

Heather Nova's Redbird is excellent, while Cori Yackin (think that's right) is more rocky

mary black

pj harvey

[anny road]

beth orton is f***ing fantastic

 

as is PJ Harvey

[Cobs]

The Sundays - Reading, Writing and Arithmetic

 

 

classic of the type.

[Kahnee]

Joni Mitchell's Court and Spark

[Bailo]

Thanks all, some good choices, I'll check it out - she has Heather Nova already.

 

She's really into the lass from Frou Frou's solo album, I'd recommend it too if no-one else has it. Imogen Heap.

Shifting into hip-hoppy sort of stuff she may like Jill Scott and Erikah Badu because, well, they almost all do.
