After coming across Christina Vane playing slide on her NRP Reso-Rocket, i wondered which Women slide players that forum members liked. And post a video of your favourite track by them.
Here is Christina playing her own song, `Wishing Bone Blues`.

I don't think there's too many acoustic slide players that have risen to any kind of prominence outside of electric blues with band which is not my cup of tea.
Several acoustic female players include slide selections. Valerie Turner, whom I like just about everything she does, plays with her husband Ben in the Acoustic duo, Piedmont Bluz. I've forgotten the name of the resonator she plays. She plays a parlor R.E. Phillips resonator. I don't know if you can see this they only allow viewing on Youtube
Gahlia Volt plays internationally as acoustic solo, as a one man band and in a band setting
Vintagewise there are a couple that I listen to in the Gospel tradition -
Flora Moulton on her DelVecchio
Sister O.M. Terell on her National

Some great choices there, thanks. And three of slide496 choices i hadn`t heard of before. I`ve now got to find some information about DelVechio. Thanks to PD as well.

No lists on here, but I am happy to spread the word about some great players that are not so well known in our male dominated industry. I wish they could be talked about as "slide players" rather than "female slide players", it's time to move on from that.
Sarah Jory is another wonderful player. Mostly known for her pedal steel playing, Sarah is also a fine slide player
Ana Popovic from Serbia is a lovely person to spend time with and she's a fine musician.
It's good to see Rory Block in this thread. Back in the '90s Rory and I used to follow each other around the UK playing at the same venues.
This beautiful girl is blind and deserves to be in this thread
And so does Dr. Kamala Shankar with her very sweet tone

Bang on the money Michael, guitar players are guitar players irrespective of gender. I think the videos posted so far, show what a breadth of talented female players are out there, playing so many different styles. I hold my hands up, i hadn`t heard of 60% of those posted so far. A great educational thread for me.

Without wishing to come accross all Woke as often accused of being blunt as a billhook, slide guitar players we either like what they do or not, colour,Race gender is not the consideration. Music is either good and you like it or not, although Sarah Rogo down at Normans guitars gets my nomination for her love of the old Nationals.
Regards
Lee
