Hey guys, I'm trying to convince a friend of mine to work up a couple of Blues numbers that I can play on; she's an acoustic guitarist with a great voice.

For the life of me I can't think of any female acoustic Blues artists. Can anyone here?

TIA

KoKo Taylor & Etta James are more than enough from the past.Current blueswomen are Bonnie Raitt, Sue Foley, Sue Tedeschi, Marcia Ball...

Sister Rosetta Tharpe was a gospel singer and guitarist with a lot of blues in her playing.

Rory Block is a multiple W.C. Handy Award-winning blues singer/ songwriter and guitarist.

You might start her off with Lucinda Williams' first record, "Ramblin' on my mind" (reissued as just "Ramblin'") - it ticks the boxes pretty well - acoustic guitar, blues, woman, cool voice.

Thanks for theses suggestions. I'm hoping we'll bond and I'll end up with a girl, LOL.
