Alela Diane sort of reminds me of Joanna Newsom in spirit but really nothing in sound. I don’t know who she sounds like, but her voice is soulful and mysterious. Her newest CD The Pirate’s Gospel is eerie and definitely folk if nothing else. A good genre would be, as her MySpace describes it, campfire gospel.

I grew up with Alela. Its funny that you would say she reminds of Joanna Newsom, because she grew up in the same town as Joanna Newsom… Nevada City California. also if you like Alela… check out Marie Sioux… a good friend of Alela. I was wondering when Alela woudl start getting some blog hype… i knew it would be soon.

I really like these, and the tracks on her MySpace.. I checked out some more about her and Joanna Newsom apparently offered Alela Diane her first gig, so it’s interesting that you made the comparison!
