I can't argue with any of the previous picks.

How about?:

TODAY
Alicia Keys
Shelby Lynne
Maria McKee
Susan Tedeschi
K. T. Tunstall

YESTERDAY
The Bangles (even with the 1980s Big Hair)
Jackie DeShannon
Katrina Leskanich (Katrina and the Waves)
Lulu

Just this year, Katrina put out a cover of the Kirsty MacColl/Tracy Ullman classic, "They Don't Know."

Can't argue with any of those, but I do have to say that I prefer Shelby Lynne's sister Alison Moorer over her. (she's also Steve Earle's wife, by the way)

Thanks, Hank.

Very nice version. It's good to see that she's still out there. Katrina has been far too inactive (or low-key) in recent years.

And how could I forget Andrea Corr of The Corrs.

I'm becoming quite enamored of Lily Allen.
