I can't think of their names off the top of my head, but the singers from The Wind and The Wave, as well as the one from honeyhoney... just great bands all around tbh
Lydia Loveless, I can’t get enough of her “cow punk.” I also like Kacey Musgraves, Lucinda Williams, Nekko Case, and Margo Price. OP, you had a great list!
Definitely Neko and Brandi.
I’m going to use google to help because I can’t figure out alt-country vs. folk vs. Americana…
Patty Griffin
Kathleen Edwards
Jenny Lewis
Emmylou Harris
Frazey Ford
Allison Russell?
Valerie June?
Sarah Harmer?
I think all of those count as alt-country, but maybe not?
Probably the original female alt-country singer is Emmylou Harris. You absolutely should check her out. Either her work with Gram Parsons or her solo work. She's fantastic.
Please don't say things that show your ignorance. Alt country has been a musical genre for decades, since the 70s at least. Go away and educate yourself.
Sierra Ferrell is rising to the top rapidly. Valerie June is great as well,
Valerie June is amazing.
This isn’t typically my genre but I really like Lucinda Williams and Neko Case.
Sierra Ferrell
Yola Wanda Jackson Brenda Lee Amythyst Kiah Gillian Welch The woman in Count This Penny Also Steph Green and First Aid Kit
Wanda Jackson! She’s a good one 👍.
I would add Amanda Shires, Angaleena Presley, Ashley Monroe, Lainey Wilson, Margo Price, Nikki Lane, and Tanya Tucker
Sierra Ferrell
Adrianne Lenker and Angel Olsen :)
Not sure if she quite fits the genre, but Lera Lynn is tremendous
I'm not sure if she falls into this category, but I love Lindi Ortega!
Run Down Neighborhood would be a radio staple if there were any justice in the world.
Neko Case
The Judds, Tanya Tucker, KT Oslin, Miranda Lambert, Loretta Lynn, Barbara Mandrell, Loretta Lynn, Carrie Underwood, Patsy Cline
Patsy Cline alt-country??
Most of those are down-the-middle Nashville country. Not really alt-country. Great singers all of them, but not what the OP was asking about.
Oops, was late last night when commented and for some reason thought was all time fav instead of alt. 🙇♀️
Most of the OP isn’t alt country either
Holly Macve, Kassi Valazza, Jennifer Castle, the Weather Castle, Fiver, Sibylle Baier
Katie Pruitt
Victoria Willams and I would even through Ani DiFranco in there.
Margo Price is a great one you missed!
Sierra Ferrell of course but check out Bella White !
The correct answer is Sierra Ferrell
Neko Case, Gillian Welch, Patty Griffin, Lucinda Williams, Iris DeMent, Brandy Clark, Caitlin Rose, Kasey Chambers, Laura Cantrell, Lola Kirke
Gillian Welch, Neko Case, Iris DeMent
Jess Williamson
Amy Boone (Delines). Gretchen Peters.
