I was recently listening to some Alabama Shakes and realized I do not have many women musicians in my music collection (compared to the other gender).  Also, I have not seen many of them live, Grace Potter being the most recent in 2013.  As I was emerged in Brittany Howard's vocals, I remembered the name Andrija Tokic.  He produced Boys & Girls for Alabama Shakes and also recorded an album for another band who has a female lead singer.  Andrija produced the album Look Out Mama for Hurray for the Riff Raff, which is a band based out of New Orleans.  Both of these bands are now with ATO Records, which is a great place to be.  

All this lead to the decision that I have a sexist music library and I feel I need to post some tunes by a few rock'n soulful women, so enjoy!

Hard Working Americans is a new band featuring Todd Snider (singer-songwriter), Neal Casal (The Cardinals and Chris Robinson Brotherhood), Chad Staehly (Great American Taxi), Dave Schools (Widespread Panic), and Duane Trucks (COL. Bruce Hampton’s School of Music).  These musicians have been around the block and have joined together to lay down some solid tunes.  As you can imagine, it is some good old southern rock and great to have a few cold ones to.  I was able to catch them at The Fillmore in San Francisco and had myself a blast.  HWA came out with a debut album and it is available for purchase.  They have a few more shows left on the tour, so check out this video of them on Conan and get out to see them!
