Reggie, I am a great fan of most good music, especially Country. I am fond of it's relationship to common emotions felt by most of us.
My Sister is one of the owners of a large record store chain here in Colorado and provides me with bushel baskets of CD's to screen. Mostly new artists or new releases by popular artists. I have found some amazing talent that is little known outside of the mainstream.
A year ago, my Wife Ellie and I helped to produce a CD by a local Folk/Country Singer. A really amazing singer/song writer and guitar musician.(Mick Gill) His is some of the best I have heard in some time, good story line, interesting and well sung.
What I have found is, there is so much music being produced today by good artists that are able to produce in small studios and publish on Web sites that it is hard to get recognized without certain steps being taken which involve time consuming hard work. Hard to be a part timer and get famous.
A couple of my favorites are Rodney Crowell. One of the best song writers on the Planet today. If you want his best get" The Houston Kid. " " Life is Messy " is good too.
Roy Rodgers and the Delta Rhythm Kings...Junior Brown, The Cherry Bombs..Diamond Rio..Seal IV the only great album he made..Joe Diffie. I could go on and on. Celine Dion is one of my all time favorites. Talk about a voice and emotion. Many Artists make several CD's that are no good but then come out with a bombshell.
Most of the artists I enjoy write from what seems to be past experience. An interesting story that is not repetative. I think like most Artistic crafts one gets better at it as one matures. Seal was certainly that way. I hated all three of his first albums untill Seal IV.
Well, enough of this! Keep at it and good luck! Jerry Burney
