    1. Black women with guitars?

      Ok bear with me. I like to joke that a significant portion of my music library is white women with guitars. I listen to a lot of art pop/indie, basically. Phoebe Bridgers, Boygenius, Fiona Apple, Weyes Blood, Angel Olsen, Aldous Harding, etc.

      So where are the black women with guitars? I think that singer/songwriter trope of a woman with a guitar (or sometimes a piano) is traditionally pretty white, so what artists are you aware of that break this trend? Closest I've found so far is Kara Jackson, who I would highly recommend, by the way. Not too strict about genre here, so whatever you got is welcome.

      I've been trying to work out which Odie Leigh song to post here and I can't decide, so here are five from a session that she's called the Treehouse Tapes. At the moment I'm a real sucker for this kind of thing - one person, minimal production, their own songs.

      Odie Leigh - A month or two
      Odie Leigh - Habits held
      Odie Leigh - Take back
      Odie Leigh - Nine lives
      Odie Leigh - [Crop circles]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_fWR3klRKo)

      (For some reason this really reminds me of the Michelle Shocked Texas Campfire Tapes which is a fantastic album but tricky to listen to because of the hateful things she's said.)
