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.

Oh my...how could I have forgotten Emmylou's Wayfaring Stranger from Roses In The Snow.

Honorable mention to Neko Case.

Richard,

Thanks for the heads up on Woven Hand and the recent 16 HP titles. (I just ordered "Secret South" and "Consider The Birds".) I really liked 16 HP back in the day, but lost track after the first 3 albums. I didn't know that they'd released newer material and spun-off another band. I've always felt that 16 HP was sadly overlooked and that their drummer, Jean Yves Tola, was among the most distinctive that I've ever heard.

Marty...I was very fortunate to have been introduced to David Eugene Edwards' music by Marco (Jax2) a while back and have really come to love everything he has done. So passionate, intense and skilled both in his playing/composition and writing. I agree with your statement that they were under appreciated and I also agree that Jean Yves Tola is an amazing drummer with unique style. I love both the records you ordered but my favorite Wovenhand would be the selftitled from 2002, I know Marco prefers Blush Music. I would also recommend the last 16HP album, Folklore which is a bit more subdued than the harder edged earlier stuff. Just great stuff.
