    I didn't read through the 13 pages on this thread, and she's probably been mentioned but my fave is Natalie Merchant.

    Bonnie Raitt, Missy Higgins, Coco Taylor, Sarah MacLachlin, Nana Mouskouri (yep, funny glasses, and daggy dresses but by golly the girl can sing), Carol King, Dusty Springfield just to name a few

    and in a weathered saddlebags kinda way, even Melissa Etheridge gets a mention from me.

    Tristan Prettyman. Very chills. Like a female Jack Johnson kinda. Check out her album and her collaboration on G. Love's album Lemonada on the song Beautiful. Good stuff, great voice.

    Agree. Tristan is pretty amazing. She is like the female Jack Johnson... surfer, guitar playing former Roxy Model, tall, gorgeous, funny and extremely nice.

    Fiona Apple
