If you like KT Tunstall, just about guarantee that you will like the Cowboy Junkies album ‘The Trinity Session’ A Canadian alternative country/blues/folk rock band. They do a cover of Sweet Jane that is better than Lou Reeds original.
This youtube does not give it justice.

Oh, I own this one, baby. 🙂 Love it.

> Since you’re already a fan of “Renegade” by Styx, I’d give the rest of their catalog a look-see. I particularly like the _Pieces of Eight_ and _Paradise Theater_ albums. “Queen of Spades”, “Blue Collar Man (Long Nights),” and “Snowblind” are some of my favorite songs. (But I have like 26 songs on my Favorite Styx Songs playlist alone).
Styx is frankly amazing. I remember a year or two ago, listening to Renegade, which is hands down probably one of my absolute favorite songs. Went to look at some of their discography…and realized I like a ton of Styx songs. It was like a relevation - all these different sounding songs were from this one band. I never really realized how much of a Styx fan I was until that moment.
Thank you all for the new suggestions! I have put them in a new playlist and will listen to them tonight!

I’m glad you like them. Here are a few more off my playlist (which actually is 42 songs, not 26):
“Babe”, “Lady”, “Too Much Time on My Hands”, “Love is the Ritual”, “Suite Madame Blue”, “The Grand Illusion”, “Crystal Ball”, “Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)”, “Miss America”, “Yes I Can”, “Don’t Let It End”, “Double Life”, “Just Get Through This Night”, “Haven’t We Been Here Before”, “Lonely People”, “Half-Penny, Two-Penny” and “A Criminal Mind” (though the solo Lawrence Gowan version was longer).
I don’t know why people say _Kilroy Was Here_ sucked. There were a few really bad songs on it, but overall I quite enjoyed it.

In that case, if it hasn’t already been mentioned, check out The Gaslight Anthem. Specifically their older albums - American Slang and The '59 Sound.
Trust me, they’re amazing.
