I have not as into the female singer/songwriter thing in recent years, crowded out by the likes of Lupe Fiasco (a former student burned his new mixtape for me, thankfully, as I still have no idea how to download music in a post-Kazaa, non-ITunes way) and Kid Cudi and such. I still will follow Melissa Ferrick and Tracy Chapman to eternity and see them live whenever they're near, and still count Brenda Kahn as one of my favorite songwriters. But no one new, at least in recent years, though my obsession with Lauryn Hill did start within the last two or three years.
But, wow. Just discovered Brandi Carlile. I'm a little late jumping on the train, but I just can't stop listening. This song, too. The lyrics probably wouldn't do anything for me if written on page, but her delivery is so raw and beautiful. I just can't stop listening.
I also think she's beautiful. Just read she's a lesbian. Typical.

Brandi Carlisle - formidable, beautiful voice - in a sturdy kind of way. Lyrics that make sense - always a plus for me - I understand that kind of thing doesn't float every one's boat.
If you ever find a moment, Ingrid Michaelson is another gem. Her voice is pleasant, almost sweet. Her live sets are extremely charming, but her songs, were cool even before she made prime time... and the commercial.
I dont think she's a lesbian though, of course I could be wrong.
Brandi Carlile! Fantastic! Did you get her first album too or just "The Story"? The first album is awesome too. She was in Baltimore recently but I missed her.
