is a musician I've known about for a little while; since someone from LN actually told me about him. I think Nietzsche perhaps. I made a CD for my friend of his music. And as I listened to it, I've grown to realize that it's just the best music I've ever heard. . now someday I will have to get all of his albums. Anyway I especially love the songs High Days, Running from Home, Strolling Down the Highway, A Man I'd Rather Be, When I get Home, Black Swan, It don't Bother Me... I highly recommend listening to him . .when I listen to him with my eyes closed, focusing on the music. . I don't know how to put it. His music is really, really special. I mean I really don't know how to put it but there's a quality to his music, a soulful and incredibly skillful musician, that I've never heard before.

    Did some good stuff with Penangle too. Still releasing albums I hear.

    One of my teenage inspirations.

    Yeah Nik, thanks. I just listened to him on youtube. He's got great range on the guitar. I think that's what you're responding to. I had never heard of him before, but I'll have to pick up an album or greatest hits if he's got one.

    yw Comedian and Virgil :) thx for giving it a listen Buh4Bee,

    yeah Mutatis, I like Pentangle quite a bit too. Only know of their more popular stuff though, what's on Youtube and a greatest hits album I had once - that one was incredible. In fact there's a song from it I haven't heard in ages.. Omie Wise. I wonder if it's online.

    OH and hey - have you ever heard of Jackson C Frank? I think I'm going to have to get re-acquainted with him...

    His story is the most tragic.. his most famous song is probably Blues Run the Game, this link is a different one
