I suspect the folky albums ARE too prissy (singles mostly magnificent but I have those on the best of).

The thing with all these old female singer-songwriters I still like and rep for is that their styles don't much appeal to Lex 06: I don't often feel like listening to music like this and so their contemporary equivalents don't interest me much (eg Bat For Lashes who is like Tori Amos gone trip-hop - I would have adored her in 1998 but it is not 1998 any more. I would probably have loved Marit Larsen in 1998 too).

The one I'm really interested in what you think of (when you get to her) is Teena Marie. A total r&b babe and a total teengirl poetry babe. Her stuff varies wildly in quality and style, but she's one of the most all-embracing exuberant pheenoms ever, and her hits packages don't serve her well.
