My musical tastes were greatly influenced by the New Orleans R&B records I heard growing up; lots of horns, vocal harmony, and wonderful piano music. I was also affected, some may say trapped, by the artists of the 1960's. Below is a sample of the people that I enjoy listening to whenever I can:
Bob Dylan ||
Tom Waits ||
Warren Zevon || Dr. John ||
James Booker ||
John Prine ||
Professor Longhair ||
The Kings ( B.B. King,
Freddie King,
Albert King, &
Earl King) ||
Stevie Ray Vaughn ||
The Kinks ||
Bonnie Raitt ||
Marcia Ball ||
Lou Reed ||
David Bromberg ||
Leonard Cohen ||
Kate Wolf ||
Victoria Williams
