Women Singer-Songwriters - Part I
Aired: Thursday, August 04, 2005 8-9PM ET
Over the years, there have been many happy nights when On Point's taken a step back from the news and turned its ears to some of the best musicians out there. Their songs and personal stories bring the world to life and into focus in a way that sometimes only music can.
In the first of a special two-part summer series, On Point is listening back to some of the most compelling women singer-songwriters who've brought their songs, and their stories, to the show's studios.
Tune in to listen back to Cassandra Wilson, Michelle Shocked, Lorri McKenna, Laura Cantrell and kd lang.

Nashville Girl in the Big City Listen
Aired: Friday, February 06, 2004
Slick country music singers get half-naked and wiggle like rock stars these days, but the image of women country singers in beehive hairdos and ballgowns remains for fans and hecklers alike.
That's just fine with singer and songwriter Laura Cantrell. She's one of a growing breed of country music artists pushing back against Nashville's airbrushed mainstream music by making a retro career with an unadorned voice, steel pedal twang and the hill-country austerity of old-school country.
"If Kitty Wells made 'Rubber Soul' it would sound like Laura Cantrell," said pop rocker Elvis Costello in a particularly Zen moment. From Jersey City, she still traces the musical backroads on her weekly radio show "Radio Thrift Shop," bringing the country to the city in song.
