Welcome to Women In Rock, a website devoted to female musicians.  This site is new, as you may have already figured out *grin*...but, with any luck & some hard work, hopefully it's visitors will deem it worthy of their visits.
    Between Lilith Fair  and the  VH-1  special, "Rock's 100 Greatest Women", I became somewhat inspired to create my own little tribute to a few of my favorite female musicians.   My own tastes vary a great deal, depending upon my mood, but the following women seem to always have a bit of something for all occasions.

 Liz Phair  ~  I happily stumbled upon the CD "Exile In Guyville" a few years ago and hungrily devoured it's contents like a fledgling bird, and although it's about time for something new from Liz, I continue to be amazed at her talent as a songwriter, singer and guitar player.
 Tori Amos  ~ I read somewhere that the majority of Tori Amos fans were shy and introverted, hence her enormous internet fanbase.   I suppose there could be some fact to that, but I just became mezmerized the first time I heard her sing "God".  The hauntingly beautiful tone of her voice, matched with often equally disruptive lyrics give Tori Amos a unique quality that is sometimes hard to find in the homogenous puddle of female musicians today.
 Sheryl Crow  ~ From the catchy rhythm of her first single, "All I Wanna Do" to ballads such as  "Home" and "Crash and Burn", Sheryl Crow had me easily captivated with her often in-your-face manner and enthusiastic live show.
 Melissa Etheridge  ~ Kick ass guitar playing paired with emotional lyrics and that rock & roll voice, Melissa's music comes across as the proverbial iceburg...much, much more there than appears on the surface.
