Looking for good

larryhammerInspired by this post, I'm soliciting recommendations. I'm looking for stuff in the Patty Griffin/Patty Larkin/Dar Williams region of musicspace. Any suggestions?
Two possibly useful parameters: (A) I recognize that Nancy Griffith is good but find her impossible to listen to for more than a couple songs in a row. (2) I consider Alannis Morrissette, Tori Amos, David Gray, and Vanessa Carlton to be very close to the above locus, while Michelle Branch is actually working a different genre. (Arguably, Mary Chapin Carpenter is as well, the same one that has Cowboy Junkies.)

And I trust Rita Houston's ears (http://wfuv.venaca.com/cgi-bin/colinker.cgi?colink=1008399152); enough to wonder what Nellie McKay sounds like (she's on Morning Becomes Electric (http://www.kcrw.org/show/mb) too.
