    Lake Street Dive..........Very Plastic Band...They will never get off Lake Street!!!

    The old 97's............so-so and the worst part...all I see here is EGO by the singer...why anyone with a lousy voice who just strokes his guitar has some sort of ego is beyond me. If the Ego shows...No Soul, folks.

    Jason Isbell..........Not bad...not bad at all. Very soulful...he has a chance to make a living doing this at small venues.

    Will Hoge..........Too Bruce Springsteenish...all forced not natural

    A little James McMurtry. More of a singer/songwriter. But this is one of his most famous songs.

      A little SoCal reggae

      Common Sense

        Dumb video but like her voice.

        Bishop

          pike51 Don't think we're going to impress big Steve, McMurtry is a great storyteller.

          P1....This guy (J.McMurtry) IS a songwriter! Very nice indeed. Tight band as well. Impressive....and I can see him making a living in this industry. It will be a cult following...but, so what. He is talented.

            Common Sense........Common sense just tells me.............they suck!

            Wild Horses............Hmmm.......Listening to her sing...,.could drag me away.

            Rodney Crowell............Band is tight..,.Do not like the way he plays to the camera...But, just another band...nothing extraordinary. Plain Jane would have been a better name for the band.

            What else ya' got?

            Bangoman I would suggest many of those I mentioned fall into that category. I'm not much for mainstream stuff. I like niche stuff... doesn't appeal to everyone.
