    This is going to utterly destroy all the credibility for having interesting musical taste we’ve worked so hard to develop!?!

    James Taylor? Wasn’t he marked for death 35 years ago or so?

    Tuff, NMC. Those voices got honey and cinnamon in ‘em, and they make Dylan sound like a hymn, so there. Nyah.

    Junior Brown – that is some mighty fine guitar he plays!! I don’t recall ever having heard of him before, thanks for the treat. I just spent an entire hour listening too all the u-tube links to his stuff. That rendition of 409 is better than the original by the Beachboys.

    Junior Brown is one of the best “real country” musicians in the entertainment bidness. He wouldn’t work on the terms demanded by the major recording studios … he is his own agent and does his own bookings. I have been a fan of his for a long time and have made a few road trips just for his shows … see a lotta waterin’ holes followin’ Junior. He can make his “gitsteel” produce terrific music and his songs are all full of good country imagery. If you ever get a chance to catch one of his performances, by all means go. I’m planning on being in Austin for South By Southwest in May … it’s a good trip on the Harley and May is always a good time to be in Austin.

    Ben’s right. I’ve seen him here in Oxford a few times, and once in Memphis. Great, great shows.

I can close my eyes and listen and almost see the neck on that geetar bending he’s playing it so smooth……..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDBIbJKjAZQ and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAG-kX_IlUw&NR=1

    Lenny in his hands is like Lucille in BB’s hands

    I’m down with Junior Brown
    and Fire and Rain comin down
    I’ve got room for Motown under my tent
    and Steve Earle is heaven sent . . .

    Thanks for the JT and Carly Simon
    doing for Barack some background rhymin
    But I’d rather keep my music safe and sound
    without a lot of politics bringing me down

    As to our music-makers
