i'm over here listening to sugarland. jennifer nettles has one of the best voices around!
I've been listening to some older Cheryl Wheeler tunes...her voice is like a cello!!!
Buffy Sainte-Marie gave a free concert during the tour promoting her new CD, RUNNING FOR THE DRUM, at the Museum of the American Indian at Bowling Green in Manhattan recently. As it was a chance to get her autograph and be photographed with her, I bought her CD after the show and got it signed. (Pictures are on my Facebook page.) At 72 she still has a powerhouse of a voice and the heart and soul of a Cree Native who gives concerts that are as much pow-wows as performances. Great stuff.
(P.S. There's a documentary about her life and activism, A MULTIMEDIA LIFE, included with the CD.)
thanks for that, dave!
I heard Kiya Heartwood and Melissa Greener on Saturday at Thoreau Woods Coffeehouse in Huntsville TX. Been listening to CDs in car and at home. Will review later.
Maroam Call's new CD, Live in Europe arrived today. Some new songs and some old stuff, all good.,
Has anyone heard the new Susan Werner stuff yet?
i prefer local small intimate venues, because i feel like i can see and hear everything. i don't understand football stadium size shows. it's very difficult to connect that way.....darryl purpose is excellent!!!
There's a country singer from the Rockies named Darryl Purpose who recently released a CD called NEXT TIME AROUND. I like his stuff. He has great lyrics and the feel of Garth Brooks meets Warren Zevon, a Midwestern lonesomeness mixed with California cynicism.
I prefer local venues and artists because I am one. I go to local venues more than major artist appearances, because I'm friends with local singer songwriters. My friend Tracy Thorne appears locally regularly. I used to go to Gerde's Folk City and Mike Porco, the son of Bob Porco who ran Gerde's, hosts folk events regularly at the Gaslight around the corner from Gerde's original site.

This is a beautiful Spanish song that's about five hundred years old. I first learned it in college and was amazed to learn the Monkees had done it, on record and on their Christmas show.
