I'm looking for unique female artists, or bands with female lead vocals. Preferably acoustic sounding music, nothing heavy. I like songs with meaningful lyrics, or atleast lyrics I can understand. Anyone got any suggestions? I like music that ranges from Joan Baez, Melissa Etheridge, Alicia Keys, to Regina Spektor. Very open minded.

I was thinking NEW ARTISTS. I already know most of the older ones everyone is naming.

You should try Buffy Sainte Marie. She is an amazing folk/folk rock singer,songwriter guitar player from the 60's Her Illuminations album is a classic. Also Joni Mitchel and Janis Ian. Tori Amos, her first 3 albums.

i love joan baez!! diamonds and rust is beautiful.
lately, i've discovered a few new female artists.
take a listen to "emmy the great", and the songs "two steps forward" and "the city song".
i'll get back to you on the others. i promise.
p.s. if you haven't heard of tilly and the wall, you should definitely check them out. plenty of acoustic and beautiful harmonies. a few personal favorites... "I always knew" "ice storm, big gust and you," "lost girls" "Pictures of Houses" "Let it Rain".
enjoy! and goodnight.
