I really think Neko Case and Janelle Monae are two of the absolute best singer/songwriters working currently

Cosign on the artists I've seen listed so far. Here are a couple more worth your investigation. LedaWhite SeaThao and the Get Down Stay Down Lissie Brandi Carlisle Kelly Hogan And, as Ms. Case has been mentioned previously, here she is on Wits with John Munson and the Witnesses (and Dave Hill on guitar)l, tearing through some classic Iron Maiden...

Oh, Kate Bush and Chrissie Hind have to be on the list. And Blondie obviously, for the attitude.

Shelby Lynne. A little bit Nashville country, a little bit Memphis blue-eyed should. 100% Alabama bad ass.
With the inimitable Peter Wolf. This is a backstage rehearsal for a late night show.

I am partial to Band of Skulls. Their harmonies are incredible. And Meg Myers just put out a pretty solid rock EP.
