Hi all, I am on the hunt for new music and would be interested in any artist similar to Lucinda Williams, thanks

(mofi makes a great suggestion regarding a lw pandora station). i'd put kathleen edwarrds as her closest acolyte (and very near her equal). gillian welch and eilen jewel are also in the same neighborhood.

Lucinda is pretty special, and nothing directly compares, but some excellent people who are kindred "alt.country" spirits are:

Shannon McNally
Julie Miller
Sera Cahone
Kasey Chambers
Amelia Curran
Caroline Herring
Cowboy Junkies
Kendall Carson
Gillian Welch
Emmylou Harris

All of these are excellent. Curran my current favorite. McNally may be closest to Williams, as she rocks the most.

Notec, I love Lucinda, and will be seeing her for the third time this summer,but your comment is one of the funniest I have ever read here.
