I am a big fan of:

Martha Wainwright

Gillian Welch

Hope Sandoval

Melissa Auf der Maur

Jenny Lewis

Kate Bush

Gemma Hayes

PJ Harvey (Her new album is very good)

Tori Amos

Aretha Franklin

Chartlotte Hatherley

Tanya Donelly

...And a special mention to Kim Deal. Whilst she doesn't release music as a solo artist, 2 and half albums by the Breeders and the Amps album are fucking amazing. And she is cooler than you*.

*except if you happen to be John Cale

beth gibbons, she has a solo album out but its not great.

it's strange, I was just listening to it the other day.

It's got some good moments...but no where near as good as portishead for sure!

I love some of the thnigs she tries with her voice, she almost cartoonifies it sometimes...or makes it ugly...("do what you gotta do" ?) hard to describe...
