oh, aimee mann as well. and of course the indigo girls, who hit big around the time of tracy chapman!

Erika Luckett's The New Orleans Sessions is terrific -- one long album of nothing but solo voice and solo guitar.

 

[kramer5150]

Aimee mann has an incredible voice IMHO.

Tuck & Patty are very popular in car audio circles. Havent heard any of their stuff on headphones yet though.

Joni Mitchell- female and sometimes with acoustic guitar

I also support Jahn's recommendation for Ani DiFranco. You will find that her best albums are, Puddle Dive, Not a pretty Girl and also I must recommend her latest release, Knuckle Down. I am familiar with the sound engineers that worked on the project and it very well may be one of the best Ani DiFranco recordings yet.

Cheers,

Oh yeah, Michelle Shocked - "Come A Long Way" is an amazing song.

I'll second Grawk's vote for Cowboy Junkies. When my wife gave birth to our one year old, we played the "trinity session" in the background most of the time. What a great (?) memory.

Anyone remember Suzanne Vega? I'd recommend her, even if her songs can be hit and miss. I think "Solitude Standing" is worth buying just for "Gypsy". I always had a crush on her.

Ah yes, Suzanne Vega. I was able to play and sing "Gypsy" on my acoustic guitar a few years back. Too busy with work now, but one day I'll get back into it.


Thx everyone for the recommendations !!!

Martha Wainwright - Alternative Rock - I like her much better than her brother Rufus.

Kate Rusby - UK folk music!

Gillian Welch - Soul Journey - I've started listening to a lot more Country/Folk music after getting my K501s (more Folk than Country, I'm not a fan of the Shania style pop-country). If you like Tracy Chapman, I think you'll also like Lucinda Williams. And once we get into country, I LOVE the Allison Krauss Live album

Oh and how could I forget: Anything by Beth Orton!

 

[Sleestack]

Madeline Peyroux

Cowboy Junkies

Mazzy Star

Everything But the Girl. Their older stuff will be more acoustic and you can move forward to their more recent releases for the electronica beats.

Otherwise, not quite acoustical...but Dido is another female singer I enjoy.

 

[Jasper994]

One more vote for Cowboy Junkies! The Trinity Session is awesome!!! I also have One Soul Now and 'Neath Your Covers, Pt. 1, both of which I'd highly recommend.

BTW, for some awesome acoustic guitar music check out Jesse Cook.

Another vote for Ani Difranco. I recommend Dilate and To The Teeth.
