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.

Once more, I forgot something....

If you do give the Lisa Hannigan record a go, make sure you hear the last track, Nowhere To Go. Best song on the album. Sometimes I have a tendency to dismiss a record before I get to the last song so figured I'd mention it....

I can't help but say that Haley Bonar's "Big Star" is pretty darn good. Compares favorably to Lisa Hannigan, Jenny Lewis, Neko Case...

The new Feist is coming out in a few days. Did anyone mention her yet? The Reminder is a great album.

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.
