stellaluna -> Girls With Guitars (5/12/2008 5:41:15 PM)

I'm putting together a new YouTube playlist and I need some help brianstorming. Right now, my Gw/G playlist includes:

Shawn Colvin
Indigo Girls
Nancy Griffin
Sarah McLachlan
Ani DiFranco
Mary-Chapin Carpenter
Juliana Hatfield
Aimee Mann

I plan to include:

Joan Baez
Michelle Shocked
Joni Mitchell
Breeders

But I'm drawing a blank any further. Oh, maybe Belly? Someone help me think.



humbleinspirit -> RE: Girls With Guitars (5/12/2008 8:44:16 PM)

Tori Amos
Joan Jett

Tori Amos


I have never seen Tori Amos play a guitar. I mean, she has guitars on her records. But she pretty much tickles ivories.



humbleinspirit -> RE: Girls With Guitars (5/12/2008 9:37:15 PM)

Oh, my bad.

Pat Benetar maybe then?



SuspenseWriter -> RE: Girls With Guitars (5/12/2008 9:37:32 PM)

Rachael Rachael. Those gals could RAWK.



humbleinspirit -> RE: Girls With Guitars (5/12/2008 9:38:21 PM)

Ok, well we should add Margaret Becker to the list for that matter to then as well.



amymelissa -> RE: Girls With Guitars (5/12/2008 11:50:40 PM)

Brooke Fraser ... I think she plays guitar for most of her songs if not all.



stellaluna -> RE: Girls With Guitars (5/13/2008 9:17:37 AM)

Checking Brooke Fraser, Rachael Rachael, Margaret Becker. Joan Jett and Pat Benatar, while I love them, don't fit the mood. [;)]

I'm also adding Tracy Chapman and Suzanne Vega. Maybe Lucinda Williams.

(Edited to add that Sheryl Crow and Jewel will not be on this list. Can't stand either of them.)



uncabeeil -> RE: Girls With Guitars (5/13/2008 10:35:49 AM)

Leta Ford
Heart
Bonnie Rait
Suzy Quattro



stellaluna -> RE: Girls With Guitars (5/13/2008 11:11:13 AM)

Totally digging this Brooke Fraser person.

Bill apparently wants me to rock out. [;)]

I did think about Bonnie Raitt.



miasma -> RE: Girls With Guitars (5/13/2008 11:24:40 AM)

Are you wanting women who play guitar, specifically?

If you're going to add Belly, then add Throwing Muses and Kristin Hersh.

It would appear you're going for a singer-songwriter vibe? Except you have the Breeders on there. If you're going with the Deal sisters, Kelly Deal 6000.

Singer-songwriters:

Heather Nova
Brandi Carlisle
Phranc
Sinead O'Connor
Lisa Loeb
Jewel

Women who play guitar:

Carla Bozulich, any of her bands
Blood Bliss, "
PJ Harvey
Liz Phair


And all of the country women, who play.

And Avril Lavigne, a-ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...

Ah yes, thank you. I especially like Kristin Hersh.

And I did think of Liz Phair and then promptly forgot her. Lisa Loeb, too. I just don't want anything heavy; I do dig the singer-songwriter vibe.

stellaluna -> RE: Girls With Guitars (5/13/2008 11:34:58 AM)

Found Rachael Rachael on YouTube, and oddly, they were doing a cover of Carry On Wayward Son. hee hee They certainly do "rock" though. [:D]

Mostly I came up with Rachel Brice. You may not know who that is, but I do. [sm=aside.gif]



miasma -> RE: Girls With Guitars (5/13/2008 11:43:54 AM)

Better than Rachel Ray.

Party on, Garth!! [8D]

So ya want more mellow stuff? Check out Jill Phillips and Kendall Payne. Definite singer/songwriter stuff from those 2. They both play guitar, too.

I'm guessing the Go-Go's and Bangles are out?



DaveW -> RE: Girls With Guitars (5/13/2008 1:02:20 PM)

Do you take posthumus postings? I know of no video this gal made but was a really great guitarist: April Lawton. She played lead guitar with Ramatam back in the early/mid 70s and that gal could ROCK!!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Lawton

I also like Bonnie Rait (fantastic slide work) and Nancy Wilson of Heart.

Actually it was her husband who did the guitar work....

Yeah, I remember that video. Kerry Livgren (from Kansas, who wrote the song) is the guy who comes in late and then plugs in just in time to do the solo.....



Auben -> RE: Girls With Guitars (5/13/2008 2:27:58 PM)

Maybelle Carter (Carter family)
Melissa Ethridge
Cheryl Crow
Gillian Welch
Susan Tedeschi
a ton of singer-songwriter guitarists like Eilen Jewell

Usually when this subject comes up I see names like Charo (yes, Charo from The Love Boat), Lita Ford, and Kaki something also mentioned.

Coochie, coochie!!! [:D]

I forgot about Melissa Etheridge. Cheryl Crow is out. [:'(]

Laugh if you must but if Charo did a serious Spanish/flamenco style performance without the cuchi, cuchi (spanish spelling since she says it with an accent[;)]) she would kick butt. But then again that's a very big if.



stellaluna -> RE: Girls With Guitars (5/13/2008 8:11:16 PM)

I've seen Charo perform and yes, she's quite good. I love her--used to watch the MDA telethon every year to see her!!! [:D]



shemaromans -> RE: Girls With Guitars (5/13/2008 9:23:32 PM)

I was going to say Lucinda Williams but saw that you already added her as a maybe. Dolly Parton can play well--even with those fingernails--but I'm not sure if she fits the "tone" of your list.



shemaromans -> RE: Girls With Guitars (5/13/2008 9:25:40 PM)

Question: Can they be bass players? Naomi Yang from Galaxie 500 played a mean bass.



BlindLemon5103 -> RE: Girls With Guitars (5/13/2008 10:25:49 PM)

Nancy Wilson from Heart comes to mind.
