Any recommendations for nice female vocals please?

I rather like Margo Timmins of The Cowboy Junkies.

Quiet, almost whispered, jazz-tinged country rock. The Trinity Session and The Caution Horses are their best records. They do a lot of covers and their version of Sweet Jane from the former is exquisite.

One of my most played LPs, highly recommended.

Recorded on an open mic on in a church, the sound is sublime and has a haunting quality to it.

Caution Horses, their next LP is very good too.
 
I'm in to stuff like Florence + the Machine,
The shouter!!

Great thread this - quite a few names that I wouldn't have considered and will look into.

Another vote for Ricky Lee Jones - especially Pirates - a wonderful album IMHO.

Mary Black is also worth a listen.
 
I think Spotify and I have got a busy few days ahead listening through all these great lists.

Many thanks for the brilliant replies!

Looks like its been beneficial to a few others too :)
