Emily - two words...

Ani DiFranco!!!!

Start with "To the Teeth", one of her Y2K releases. It'll fill the bill. I 
just got "Not a Pretty Girl" this weekend (thanks Michael Y) and love it! 
Everything I've picked up of hers (about 6 now) is wonderful!

Also well worth the effort:

Patti Smith, "Gung Ho"
Joan Osborne, "Righteous Love"
Emmy Lou Harris, "Red Dirt Girl"

and if you don't already have it:

Lucinda Williams, "Car Wheels On A Gravel Road"

Bob

NP: Suzanne Vega, "Some Journey"
