Anne McCue
Joseph Arthur
Anna Nalick
The Killers

19. Wow. Lots of stuff to look into.

[mvd]

22. You might not like all of them

I love some pop and pop/rocky stuff.. and Miranda Lambert is country.. but there is some alternative and rock there.

31. Go see her live

I've been making my way down your list. I now love Blue Merle too. Never heard of him before. Do you like downtempo stuff. Like the Dirty Three? And Galaxie 500?

[mvd]

32. I haven't heard those, but will check them out

Thanks! Yes, I do like downtempo stuff, though sometimes I'm not into adult contemporary.

[bif]

33. Hey, anytime you have a new find

Feel free to PM me and let me in on on it. I love your taste! I sense you like the folk/country female singers--which I'm not that familiar with. Keep 'em coming.
