Your favorite album by a female artist

At the moment, I think The Nameless by Cathy Davey (title/opening track below):

 

HEART

 

Rickie Lee Jones

 

Björk - Debut

 

Kim Wilde Teases & Dares

Shangri-La

 

Joni Mitchell- Travelogue

 

1971, such a great year for music! Great Gayle McCormick album! Opens with her finest: "It's A Cryin' Shame" ~~

 

Bjork- post

 

Sarah Brightman on the first two cuts of the Phantom of the Opera Broadway Cast soundtrack. Those raised the hair on my neck like nothing else since Judy Collins sang Bells of Rhymney on her 3rd album. So not technically a whole album.
Joni Mitchell - Court & Spark
Linda Ronstadt - Heart Like a Wheel

 

Kate- Sensual World.

Kirsty MacColl- Titanic Days is also right up there.

 

Bit obvious, but Joni's Hejira

 

If we can go with a female singer in a group then it is PARALLEL LINES by Blondie.
Otherwise TAPESTRY by Carole King.
For more modern SOMETIMES I SIT AND THINK AND SOMETIMES I JUST SIT by Courtney Barnett.

 

Cat Power - Jukebox
PJ Harvey - Let England Shake

I was just about to add this marvellous album too.

 

Linda Ronstadt - For Sentimental Reasons

 

The Pandoras (R.I.P.) Paula Pierce ....

 

Funny no-one mentioned Suzie baby here ......................................

 

Tammy Wynette - Womanhood

 

Generally, I like all Cranberries and Denise O'Riordan RIP. Ditto Carpenters for Karen RIP. Ditto ABBA for Agnetha & Frida. Depends on my mood, but Linda Ronstadt covers most moods, and like the ladies listed above, is unique in her talent.

 

Gotta love these ladies

 

Hard to pick just 1.
Joni Mitchell - Court and Spark
Carole King - Tapestry
Laura Nyro - Eli
