GUYS! I need musical help, if you can provide it.

I need songs in a similar vein to these three.

They don't have to be female vocalists, these just happen to be the three in this style I have so far. Hell they don't even need vocals, just folksy music like this. Need good references. PLEASE HELP! It's ~important~ and whatnot. :)

EDIT Oh! And if the videos don't show up for you, the songs are as follows:
Mazzy Star - Into Dust
Patty Griffin - Cold As It Gets
Alison Krauss - You Will Be My Ain True Love /EDIT

I can't listen to any of these now, but if you want 'folksy' you might try Nickel Creek, Iron & Wine, or Mumford & Sons.

Throw those three into a Pandora station as seeds and see what music pops out.

Wish you had asked this a year or two ago when I was listening to more music like this. Ill put a few out for you until I can come up with some better ones.

Maybe some cowboy junkies?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lP_llect3fI&feature=fvsr

The Alison Krauss video reminds me of this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbgfXp5M02M&list=FLO754eBjLYpQCeqQO05zmCg&index=99&feature=plpp_video



Also since Im reminded of Alison Krauss heres my favorite song of hers. Robert Plants voice is dominant in it though. I dont think it fits your theme much, good tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Xx5IvDW9S0

Another that I'm not sure if fits your theme but I love it anyway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VT1pTcuzs0&list=FLO754eBjLYpQCeqQO05zmCg&index=27&feature=plpp_video

Gillian Welch is like Alison Krauss but a little more blues-twangy. Rickie Lee Jones. Allison Moorer is more Country but she has some that I like that are similar. Amy Cook, Beth Orton (did vocals for Chemical Brothers - LOVE her). Caitlin Cary. Whiskeytown, Ryan Adams, Yael Naim, Alexi Murdoch, Andrew Cat Power, Andrew Bird, Wilco, Brett Dennen,Corrs (Irishy-pop), Damien Rice, Ed Harcourt, Elliot Smith, Ingrid Michaelson, Iris DeMent, Jenny Lewis, She & Him...

If you want I can hook you up with any/all of these. And More. I am a bit of a nutter for new folk/singer/songwriter music.

I can't think of song names off the top of my head...
