Some not mentioned yet - I think.

Peter Coyote as a narrator.
Sam Elliott.
Willie Nelson
Levon Helm.
Dolores Keane.

[sid waddell]

Richard Ashcroft - haunting, angry, otherworldly.
Liam Gallagher - Lennon meets Lydon.
Christy Dignam - as good a singer as this country has ever produced.
Sinead O'Connor - deserves her place for her version of The Foggy Dew alone.
Hazel Dickens - an incredible bluegrass singer. Such passion in her voice.
Johnny Rotten - anger is an energy.
Denise Johnson - Primal Scream backing singer in the early to mid 90s. Dynamite.

Couldn't cut any of them out.

Ella Fitzgerald, Dionne Warwick, Alicia Keys, Elvis and Jimi Hendrix (a hugely underrated singer in my view) wouldn't be far behind.
