John Prine Really started to appreciate of his work after his last album was released. I guess I backed into him.
I saw him on his last tour less than a year before he passed of Covid. It really is a shame. He was still on top of his game writing wonderful songs. He was full of life even danced on stage during the last song of the night.

Lately, I’ve been listening to a lot of music by former members of the Beatles after they went solo or formed other groups. Man, George Harrison really had one heck of a solo career, didn’t he?


Yep, George Harrison....went through that myself a while ago.


Kind of get the feeling he was an onward and upward type. Yet resilient enough to have held onto what had been under appreciated. He'd done the career thing and had fame... but was just not tired of making music.

Chris Cornell

Always had heard the voice, but was even less into popular music than today, and really kind of avoiding most anything plugged in electric or with drums.

It's his emotes and not just the voice.

Townes Van Zant. I couldn’t care less about most of the mopey, folky semi-country crap that this guy gets looped in with, but this guy could squeeze so much emotion into his unusual voice. He was a fantastic songwriter, great guitarist and even the saddest stuff he wrote felt completely legit.

For me it's Genesis-Gabriel Era and Peter Gabriel's solo work. He is an incredible singer and those early Genesis albums are some of the most interesting and exciting things I've ever heard.

Bob Wills and the western swing had more of an impact on American music than I ever thought.


If you like Western Swing, check out Foy Willing and the Riders of the Purple Sage.

That's how I feel about Gene Autry. He wasn't technically a very good singer. But the emotion in his voice could sell anything he happened to be singing.
