43. Lissie - Catching A Tiger

Lissie Maurus is an American folk rock singer. She comes from Rock Island, IL and is steeped in Americana and Appalachian folk and delta blues. Watching her sing (and others like her) only go to prove why American Idol is a joke. Effortless, liquid velvet voice and raw song-writing talent will propel this young songstress forward. She reminds me of Laura Marling in her lyrical and vocal capabilities. While this album may be a tad over-produced, it's the two songs below which garnered her this spot in my top 50. I hope to see her perform live someday.
