He's an acquired taste:

Not for me - loved Neil since the late 60's or so, an incredible talent:

David Gray, "Silver Lining"

 

[Aluminny69]

Tom Rush - have always loved his work, Rockport Sunday is a beautiful guitar instrumental:

LOVE Tom Rush. Someone in my dorm at UConn had this early album by him. One side is early rock songs, the other country songs. This song is about the devastating Galveston Flood of 1900, with Tom playing slide guitar. If you can find this album, get it.

My dorm mate also had this early album from Jess Colin young, before he formed the Youngbloods. Haunting.

Love this simple cover of the Simon and Garfunkel hit.

The Giants of my generation: Dion, Paul Simon, Sam Cooke

edit--the thumb nail says Kelly Willis but it's a duet with her and Kevin Welch (no relation to Gillian Welch above as far as I know)

Had to post one of the "rock" cuts from this fabulous album. Love his treatment of this Buddy Holly song.

 

[Aluminny69]

I ask myself this, every day.

An old song, many wonderful versions of it out there, including Emmylou Harris. This has gotta be one of the most heart rending songs I've ever heard, from probably the most heart rending movie I've seen.

So I mentioned her before, gotta have some Emmylou. Forget about trying to pick a favorite song of hers, I'll just go with this one.
