i think you nailed it when you wrote "great technique and has paid her dues listening/working on her craft"
...And then drinking herself to death at 28. Imagine what she could have done if she'd pulled back even a little bit. A noxious form of suicide...and that goes for JJ too.

I am no expert on blues, but when it comes to female rock singers - Pat Benatar.

That's true but she doesn't qualify because of the "rock" half of the OP's question--she was straight-up blues.

She sure nailed every part of the equation with this from 23 years ago: http://www.allmusic.com/album/true-love-mw0000263004 << AMG kicked themselves in the head with this--narrative was a rave yet they only gave 2 stars. A a personal fave disc.:
skip Tr. 2 (included below) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64bcA8Xs_Bs&list=ALBTKoXRg38BBH4rpjiEiz33mflMbK3jqo << one of about 5 discs I carry in my ride for trips--XMSirius usually carries the day but sometimes I catch a mood...

Hellified singer you brought us, Bro SteveO...and the band's good too, good enough to present by themselves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL_Ia3xXdRs
Consider doing a piece on some artists in the "Championing the Unheralded..."--it can be a regional round-up. Now if Ms. Theresa didn't have such an unfortunate resemblance to my sister--a bit off-putting. << A joke, folks, just a joke.
