I like all the previously noted ladies especially Natalie Merchant both with 10,000 maniacs and solo.
Would add the following as worth a listen
First aid Kit (Scandinavian sisters)
Liy and Madeleine (American sister)
Smoke Fairies ( just brilliant)
Not solo artists but all ladies and regular visitors to my turntable.

Re: Tori Amos
Hmm... Smoke Fairies - well that was a new name to me, but love that haunting, country-fied vibe they have which isn't far off the Willard Grant Conspiracy. And one of the voices reminds me of someone else too - but can't quite pull a name out just yet. It'll come.

Rosie Vela managed to put out only one album - but what a release it was, reuniting Steely Dan's Becker and Fagen, who had sworn never to work together again.

Re: Tori Amos
Slightly less glamorous than Lana Del Rey - but probably better in the lyrics department, we have (enter stage left) from Canada, Jane Siberry.
Jane's brand of superior art-rock is best heard on the albums 'No Borders Here', 'The Speckless Sky' and 'The Walking' and she almost had a hit (somewhere) with the song 'Mimi On The Beach'.
Jane Siberry - Mimi on the Beach - promo video
Jane Siberry- Mimi on the beach (album version)
However she could have been a contender for Kate Bush's crown as the Queen of Whimsy with the album 'The Walking' which is simply stunning. Here's a track.
Jane Siberry - The White Tent the Raft
This lady has a gift for quirky and intriguing songs which grab you after a few listens and lodge themselves into your subconscious. One of the best is 'You Don't Need', this one just leaves you gasping. So good.
Jane Siberry You Don't Need
Sheer brilliance !!!

Re: Tori Amos
Okay - just one more (then I'll stop, for now, promise)
Holland has its own answer to Kate Bush in the (diminutive) shape of Laura Jansen.
Laura Jansen - Queen Of Elba [Music Video]
Laura Jansen - Golden
Lovely tracks from her surprisingly pleasant album 'Elba' - check it out !

Re: Tori Amos
Thanks Frettie, know of Jane S. but not Laura J., some more to dig around.
I can see why 'mimi on the beach' was almost a hit, shallow cheesy lyrics or what?,
sorry no way on that performance does she measure up to Kate,
her deeper thoughtful song writing and song craft is on a different plane, only Tori and Joni has the same attributes.
Lana glamourous !!!, no....she's filthy, filthy.....filthy and only one subject in her songs.
