Girls on Your Turntable

By Patty Fung (Kitchen Sisters intern)

After posting Bonnie Raitt’s playlist of girls on her turntable, we were excited by the feedback from so many of you who shared your own lists of favorite musicians, ranging across all spectrums of music. It’s been great listening to the variety of submissions that have come our way and to dabble in classic favorites.

On this page you’ll find a compilation of the artists that you’ve told us about. If you’re looking for some new music, you’ll find a variety of sources of amazing women below. We’ll be updating this list often as we receive suggestions, so keep checking back. We look forward to hearing more about the girls on your turntable!

July 2011: Featured Artists We’ve Enjoyed Based on Your Feedback

Mountain Man Songs: “Animal Tracks” “Soft Skin”

Anna Ash Songs: “My Oh My” “Mid-Flight”

Joan As Police Woman Songs: “To Be Loved” “To America”

Thank you to Rachel for contributing again to this month’s featured sounds. Rachel had suggested Mountain Man and we’ve enjoyed their vocals here at Kitchen Central. I had the chance to see Anna Ash perform at last month’s MAPP event in San Francisco. As my friends would describe, “She’s a mermaid.” Lastly, Davia and the interns were able to catch Joan As Police Woman in May at Cafe du Nord. A great performance and an amazing woman. Stay tuned for August 2011′s featured artists. You’ll find each month’s picks at the top of the playlist.
