...form and its listeners mature, pop music is offering a nice niche for female singers, in solo CDs and compilation albums. The sound track for Boys on the Side, an all-female set featuring songs by Annie Lennox, Melissa Etheridge, Bonnie Raitt and Sheryl Crow, hit the Billboard Top 10. Some of these singers are also represented on Women for Women, with part of the sales money destined for breast-cancer research. In September, Rounder Records will release Global Divas, a three-CD set of the premier thrushes in world music; some proceeds will go to the United Nations Development...

His songs boast a crunching blues beat, brash guitars and howling harmonica solos. Thomas, 29, tries to bring the blues into the present. As he sings on the title track, "Whoever says the blues was dead/ Needs to come where I'm from where the streets are red."
