made a playlist for my daughter, with four classic albums she should know, in this case all women singer/songwriters, just to show her there's more to lmusic than Taylor and boygenius. first four: Carol King: Tapestry Roberta Flack: First Take Joni Mitchell: Blue Joan Armatrading: Joan Armatrading next four: Rickie Lee Jones: Rickie Lee Jones Joni Mitchell: Hejira 'Til Tuesday: Everything's Different Now Tracy Chapman: Tracy Chapman I would have added Marti Jones: Used Guitars but it doesn't seem to be available anymore...
When you get to the 90s. Don't forget KD Lang. One of the best voices I have heard. Her country music albums are amazing
Might I suggest Nelson? After the Rain is one of the best power ballads you will find, and those chicks can belt it out like men.
another four: Emmylou Harris: Wrecking Ball Lucinda Williams: Car Wheels On a Gravel Road KD Lang: Hymns From the 49th Parallel Toni Childs: Union the latter is a bit different, stylistically. might work better w/ Alanis JLP.
adelle, woman gaga, duo lipas. maybe megan trainer. great womens of our time shouldn't be overlooked.
Add these: Sleater-Kinney: All Hands On the Bad One Neko Case: Blacklisted Joanna Newsom: Have One On Me Juana Molina: Un Día
Cowboy Junkies - The Trinity Session Something by Astrud Gilberto Tina Turner - Working Together L7 - Bricks are Heavy
I'm sure she would dig Cheryl Crow. If she is a Rocker type have her give a listen to Hole. No Doubt is also good middle if the road stuff.
