Singer Songwriters Rarely Mentioned By Audiophiles

Here are a few excellent singer-songwriters in the Americana/Folk/Country vein you may not know...

Anna Tivel

A superb lyricist.  My favorite CD by her is "Small Believer"

Lindsay Lou and the Flatbellies

She can be jazzy, folkie, old-timey-- delightfully idiosyncratic and quirky. 

My favorite CD by her is "Ionia"

Dori Freeman

Excellent singer and songwriter Largely in a Country vein. Protege of Teddy Thompson.
I prefer her first, self-titled CD--

Courtney Marie Andrews

Another great talent-- excellent both as a singer and songwriter.
Her "Honest Life" CD is my favorite and has a very 70's vibe.

Jess Jocoy

Nashville based. Whereas Dori Freeman displays more old-fashioned Country roots,
J. Jocoy's "Such A Long Way" is more in an Americana vein.

Kris Delmhorst, married to another talented singer-songwriter, Jeffrey Foucault, has been around awhile.

Her "Songs for a Hurricane" is excellent, displaying her stylistic range and fine singing.

Catherine McLellan is somewhat more introspective and quiet, although she certainly doesn't stick to ballads. 

I like "The Raven's Sun" and "Silhouette", both of which feature excellent guitar playing by her then-partner Chris Gauthier.
