I've recently got into the genre of blues oriented rock and was wondering if anyone knew any female singers of the style. I'm hoping for something along the lines of Sandi Thom's Merchants and Thieves album, not really looking for any Etta James style singers.

Bonnie Raitt might fit the bill. Not sure how similar to Sandi Thom she is, though...

It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )

Here's a few more to try:
Sass Jordan - How Do I get It Right (w/ Don Was) -

Alannah Myles - Song Instead Of A Kiss -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCFdYi9C_94
Joan Osbourne - St. Theresa -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbAeTywPiP4
Rachael Yamagata - Worn Me Down -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8V6Y3YjBAI
Is it the style of the music, the vocal quality that Sandi Produces? Which song on the album is the "best example" of the sound you are looking for?
Hope at least one of these ladies is a hit for you, they all are very talented.
