GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN..5 INTERESTING FEMALE ARTIST

[@canadianstudmuffin]

Glen, the anti-Beatles fan. 😃 I actually don't have that many female artists in my CD collection, but I do love the Patti Smith Group, Pretenders, Jane Siberry and er... one or two more.

[@GlenKellawayfromthebasement]

Not anti Beatle..maybe Uncle Beatle

[@toddburt5604]

Gotta thank you Glen for introducing me to Patricia Barber and Lydia Loveless in earlier videos. Big fan now.

[@jameswilson7084]

In new music, I listen to more female artists than male ones. As you could probably tell from my Top 10 best of the year lists. My current favorites: The Warning (A very talented rock group of three sisters from Mexico. Great live performers. They play their own instruments and write their songs) The Last Dinner Party (A group of college students from the UK. They feature an amazing frontwoman lead singer and a great prog-style guitarist) Chappell Roan (I "slept" on this artist for a while. I just recently "discovered" her debut album. What a great singer/ songwriter. Her ballads shine) Taylor Swift (A lot put down her latest 31-track album. It takes more listens to appreciate. Now I love 27 of 31 songs. That's "White Album" level!) Ariana Grande (Her latest is a wonderful and cohesive pop album. Sadly, mostly snubbed by The Grammys this ceremony. One of the great singers)

Wow..very cool James

I highly recommend the Pixies and The Breeders. I was pleasantly surprised Kim had a new album!

[@powbarabajagal2435]

David Bowie loved The Pixies, as did Kurt Cobain. But Bowie covered their song ‘Cactus’ on Heathen. They originally did 4 albums, I’m a fan of all 4. When Frank Black put out a musicians want ad that Kim responded to, he wanted to form a band that was a cross between punk band Husker Du and Peter Paul and Mary. To me they are a bit like a more poppy Sonic Youth. And I’m a fan of Kim Gordon from Sonic Youth as well. Not sure if those bands you would like, but figured I’d give some background. Kim Deal’s sister Kelly Deal has been in some of her other bands.

[@GlenKellawayfromthebasement]

Thanks for the info Jean..very cool..I will be giving them a listen..

[@shanemcivor8319]

Leslie Gore,Petula Clark, Dusty Springfield, The chick that sang The Talahatcy bridge song 😂😂

[@GlenKellawayfromthebasement]

Bobbie G3ntry..I am a fan…she is kinda like the female version of Tony Joe White

[@shanemcivor8319]

POLK SALAD ANNIE one of my favorites Don't mess with Grandma

[@jameswilson7084]

@@GlenKellawayfromthebasement There's a very good recent 2 CD/ 2 LP set called "The Girl From Chickasaw County: Highlights From The Capitol Masters". It contains highlights from the out of print "The Girl From Chickasaw County" box set from 2018.

[@shanemcivor8319]

MY Lips are always sealed when I WALK LIKE A FEMALE FROM EGYPT

[@RobertsOnMyTurntable]

Excellent choices my friend Don't have any of those, but definitely artists to discover

[@GlenKellawayfromthebasement]

Absolutely

[@musictalkwithjohn]

You caught my interest with Lydia Loveless. I’ll have to check her out. ✌🏻

[@GlenKellawayfromthebasement]

Awesome..give her a listenn

[@RandyforRoyals]

I do have one Breeders album but I did not keep up with them or her career. The Breeders song "Cannonball" got quite a bit of airplay. Patricia Barber is someone you have talked about before and is still on my radar. I do have Lydia Loveless and Kathleen Edwards CD's because of your recommendations.

[@GlenKellawayfromthebasement]

Everyone keeps mentioning Cannonball and I have no idea about it..I think you would like Patricia Barber it is Crooner Psych music…

[@davidyounng9061]

Watched Kathleen Edwards video doing a cover of Crawling Back to You(Tom Petty). Pretty cool.. I like Laura Nyro , Aimee Mann , Samantha Fish , and the all girl band Fanny.Their live performance on the Beat Club Show(German TV 1971) is amazing!! Type in Fanny and Beat Club.

[@GlenKellawayfromthebasement]

That was a good cover..Love Samantha Fish..

[@dr.s.]

Ignore if you already know. Fanny managed to release the Beat-Club performances as a live album.

[@morrisgautreau6704]

I don't have too many in my collection, but the female singers that I do have and really like are: Suzanne Vega, Fiona Apple, Susanna Hoffs (The Bangles), Justine Frischmann (Elastica), Enya, Gwen Stefani, Alanis Morissette and I have Corinne Bailey Rae... and that's about it. I do need to get some music with Stevie Nicks, Janis Joplin and a few others too numerous to mention.

[@GlenKellawayfromthebasement]

You list some great female artists Morris..

[@dr.s.]

You were alive in the 90s, so you have almost certainly heard The Breeders Cannonball. Five, is hard cause there are so many, I'm not going with the big ones like Tina Turner, Ann Wilson or Stevie Nicks, just too obvious. 1. Fanny (June & Jean Millington, Nickey Barcley, Alice de Buhr) A historic band, the first all female rock group to release a mayor label album, they were so good (we are already at four but I count them as one). 2. Samantha Fish Fantastic blues rock guitar player and singer. 3. SUSU (Liza Colby & Kia Warren) Two of my favorite current singers, they both had their own bands but joined forces and created a new band where they share lead vocals. 4. Kinga Głyk Polish jazz/fusion bass player, great live player. 5. Grace Bowers 17 years when she recorded her first album, had her 18th birthday at the Grand Ole Opry. She still has quite a way to go but she also has a lot of time, and her debut album is quite good. Honorable mentions: Beth Hart, Tal WIlkenfeld, Emily Wolfe, Hannah Wicklund, Saving Escape (Kala Rose and Charli), Scruffy Bear (Georgie), Helena Holleran, Boostive (Divina Jasso), The Lion Hart, Banditos (Mary Beth), Belle & the Vertigo Waves (Belle), Wolf Twin (Heather Gillis), and many more. EDIT: Have to add Molly Tuttle and sisters Megan and Rebecca Lovell of Larkin Poe.

[@GlenKellawayfromthebasement]

Wow..Dr..great post..lots of artists I need to check out..love it..

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hey Glen! Love the thumbnail! I'm with you on the Beatles, they get very little play in my house these days. I'm abstaining form the Vinyl Tag because one of the question centered around politics. Cheers!

[@GlenKellawayfromthebasement]

Yeah..that is my grand daughter..She will be two in January..So much other music to listen to..I know which question you are referring to..

[@samstjohn1994]

I thought for sure you'd pick Lucinda somewhere in the mix. I know you love Kathleen Edwards a lot, sounds very interesting!

[@GlenKellawayfromthebasement]

I am sure you would love Kathleen..

[@virgilkinsley]

Love the Pixies and the Breeders didn’t know Kim had a new record out gotta check it out. Love Kathleen Edwards too. Check out the album Doolittle from the Pixies.

[@GlenKellawayfromthebasement]

I will check it out..thank you

[@daanickgearing8054]

I listen to a lot of female artists. My 5 are Beth Hart, Samantha Fish, Larkin Poe, Elles Bailey and Bonnie Raitt. Honourable mentions for Thea Gilmore, Ana Popovic, Joanne Shaw Taylor and Chantel MacGregor.

[@GlenKellawayfromthebasement]

A few I am not familiar with..thank you..love Beth Hart and Sam Fish..

[@daanickgearing8054]

@ I am based in England so some are British, most I’ve seen at gigs.

[@timosullivan6160]

Doolittle by Pixies is an amazing record, in my opinion. Alternative, hardcore , quirky, and has some great pop hooks too. I will check out Kim Deal' solo record. I think she left the band a long time ago.

[@GlenKellawayfromthebasement]

Thanks Tim..will check it out..

[@ethan-c093]

I definitely do not listen to as many female artists as I should, but some artists I do like are the Ronettes, Heart and Joni Mitchell.

[@GlenKellawayfromthebasement]

Can’t argue with those choices..

[@cristianosorio2517]

Hi Glen!!! It seems Kim Deal's solo album was a nice surprise to many VC members. I don't have many female artists in my collection, just own one band with a female singer and that would be it maybe because of the kind of music i like to listen and unfortunately the ones i have listen they sounds very samey and not very interesting... cheers and be well

[@JackTheMusicGuy]

talk to Brian from embroynic robot he loves the pixies im kinda suprised you havent heard them before!

[@GlenKellawayfromthebasement]

Thanks Jack..I will check in with Brian about The Pixies
