Female songwriters

I'm guessing that Cerys wrote a few of those Catatonia tunes? She had a country-infused album out a few years ago too.

I like Cerys very much..I have no idea how much she contributed to the "Space" album but there are some classics on there.

How about Joan Baez - Diamonds and Rust is a great dig at Dylan (and if you see her live - so is her impersonation of him)

Also the great Emmylou Harris
 
Loved the story about the recording of 'Lovin' You' when a bird was singing on the window of the recording studio. They were going to edit it out but Stevie Wonder (the producer) said "keep the bird."
the bird sound do really add something, strange how background noisy can make a good song great, Gainsbourg and Bardot's 'Bonnie and Clyde is superb in no small part to her making monkey noises in the background. Swiss all female punk band Kleenex similarly with their 'eek' noises on 'U' - glorious.
