Tell me some great female folk/acoustic records or artists of recent years

Some cracking recommendations in this thread :+1:

Canā€™t see her mentioned so Iā€™ll stick in a recommendation for Samantha Crain, especially her 2015 release ā€˜Under Branch & Thorn & Treeā€™. Her new one sounds promising too. A little more country tinged than some mentioned so far but definitely worth a listen

Alela Diane definitely. Either ā€˜Pirateā€™s Gospelā€™ or ā€˜About Farewellā€™.

Oh wow where did you see her? Would love it if she toured the UK!

This was in London but it looks like sheā€™s coming over here again in November; playing the Union Chapel?

I love the union! Brilliant!

Have you heard the Baird Sisters album that was released last year? So pretty, cannot get enough of it

No I havenā€™t. Didnā€™t even know that there was one. A sincere thanks for the heads up. Iā€™ll definitely check it out.

Agnes Obel fit in here?

Also: Kelsey Luā€™s ā€˜Church EPā€™ is phenomenal.
