Is Stevie winning the war....

[Dex]

Stevie is a cult-singer songwriter, which is always an act that's going to stand the test of time better than that of an out-and-out pop star, which is how I'd describe most of the women mentioned above. She's doing well for herself, for sure. But I think she compares more naturally to the likes of Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, Dolly Parton, etc. Really individual, pioneering women singer-songwriters. And in that light I'm not sure she holds up quite as well. That's not a knock on her career, though. Those are tough acts to compare to, indeed.
