I am not always good at predicting such things, but I am going to go out on a limb and say 2013 will be the year of Sallie Ford.
SF&tSO are a Portland Rockabilly band that have been championed by the Avett Brothers and their new album is Untamed Beast, which you can find cheaply on Amazon.
Like ska and swing, rockabilly is surely due a resurgence, and Ford would seem to be a good choice to lead the charge. While I am not predicting she is the next Gwen Stefani (that's not her style, but who knows?), surely the band will reach the heights of acts like Goldfinger, Big Bad Voodoo daddy, and the Cherry Poppin Daddies.
How could they not?
Sallie would do well on her own, but part of the reason I like them so much is that she is backed by a great band. Similarly, the band that front person, and Ford is a memorable one. Strong, soulful, and brassy, reviewers seem to consistently go for the Amy Winehouse comparison. I get it, but I also don't get it. I don't really hear Amy, but her voice is powerful, and reminds me just a bit of Karen O.
