Neko Case is so good she makes me forget I don't like country music (her and Dwight)

 

[Si G X]

me too. One of the best and should be more on the radar!
I didn't know she had a book, I'll have to find it.
This song always gives me chills.


EmmyLou, Patsy Cline, many others. hard to beat.

The Book is called 'blood' same title as the last album. I can't exactly say it was a fun read but I'm glad I read it. She's an interesting lady.

I discovered her by pure chance really, there was a CD that came free with Mojo magazine back in 2002 that had 'Cold in California' on it and I just really loved the lyrics and her vocal, so I've been following along since then.

Sarah Jarosz, one of my favorites... here she is on a recent Austin City Limits show.

Sarah Jarosz and Molly Tuttle are crossing more than a few genres

Dori Freeman has an amazingly good voice and her writing is getting better. I keep hoping her and Redd Volkaert will collaborate since he's moved to her hometown of Galax, Virginia.



Classic country...

Juice anyone?

 

[Greggorios]

She may not be a household name, but since her debut album in the mid 90s "Kim Richey" has been my favorite.

Such a talented lady, great songwriter. Her CD Glimmer is just full of hits. Here's a couple.

Since a few others I'd put down were already taken in previous posts...


These were written by the same person, not CU, and CU should get some more from them.

I think you answered your own question; she's not much known for her singing.

 

[8barlouie]

No mention of Bonnie Raitt? Did I miss it? Not country enough?

She was the "Bob Dylan" of her time. Or Dylan before he was Dylan.lol

This is from a very nice album she made with Carolyn Mark.

No Dolly? Atrocious.

 

[Lynxtrap]

Lucinda Williams, Allison Krauss and Kelly Willis, absolutely.
But as I haven't seen Julie Miller mentioned yet, I'll nominate her. I nominate her for almost anything when given the chance.
Incredible songwriter, heartfelt delivery.
