so i've now gotten into this female pianist/vocalist Nellie McKay (pronounced mc-KAI). i recommend her double album, Get Away From Me highly. her style is kind of off-the-wall. one song is a rap that at one point mentions Paul Wellstone, another is a jazz-ballad.
live bootlegs of her songs can be found at nelliemckay.net.
also, high quality live/studio recordings can be found on NPR's Website.
