Best Female Vocalists Ballads

for someone a little different and a bit quirky try
Antje Duvekot. She's a good songwriter and very good singer. By that i mean that her phrasing and interpretations are as least as good as the quality of her voice. Her cover of Joplin's "Mercedes Benz" is brilliant.

Another one for Kate Wolf ," CLOSE TO YOU" is my favorite.

Another one I have been loving recently is Valerie June's Pushin' Against Stone. She's not really a balladeer but she is been described as an "emotive amalgamation of blues, folk, gospel, soul, Appalachian and bluegrass". Very retro sound.
