Which female artist


Hi all
Just wanting to know if anyone can add to my list, of similar sounding female singers.Here goes , just to start the ball rolling.
Gretchen Lieberum "brand new morning"
Rickie Lee Jones "priates , flying cowboys , the magazine"
Dido " life for rent , safe trip home ( my favourite at the moment )
Mary Chapin Carpenter " between here and gone"
Kathyrn Williams " dog leap stairs , old low light "
Any help of finding new female singers , or even similar male singers, would be great .As always looking for somthing new to listen to
cheers lancer

Bette Midlers:

1)Bette Midler Sings The Rosemary Clooney Songbook
2)Sings the Peggy Lee Songbook [DUAL DISC]

Both disc's are filled with well recorded pop standards. These two disc have been leaders in my collection, meaning they have led to other recording artist.
New Femaale Singers:

Rachael Yamagata (Elephants)
Sara Watkins (SaraWatkins)
Beth Rowley (Little Dreamer)

The Beth Rowley CD is a no-brainer winner.
Hi Thanks for the list of singers. Had a wee listen on the net to get a idea of there styles. I say Raks you have some good ones there I need to listen to from the cd's and a few others.
cheers guys and gals
Shelby Lynne "just a little lovin" absolutely sublime

Tierney Sutton "Dancing in the Dark" why never mentioned anymore???

Oleta Adams "Circle of One" no one remebers this great album

Nora Jones "Come Away with Me" just because it sold 15 million copies does not mean it's not good
