Eilen Jewell - Sea of Tears

This is the first time I've come across Jewell; she makes me think of latter-day Jolie Holland, mid-period Lucinda Williams, Soul Journey-era Gillian Welch, and rock music from the 60s, and does so while putting her own stamp on the dusty, swaying music she makes. She has a way with a tune, and the ability to create a mood with her singing and arrangements...this is good stuff.
