What a bunch of interesting stuff!
Skip James - I'd forgotten about him, not that I ever knew all that much.
Robert Johnson - towering great. I needed that. I listened to a bunch and found myself at Down to the Crossroads which led me naturally to Hendrix. I'm having an awesome time tonite.
Nick Cave - new to me, and I like a lot. THanks for turning me on to this.
Uncle Tupelo - also new to me and I like them a lot - gotta explore more of this!
White Stripes Jolene - I'm a secret Dolly Parton fan - when she's good, she's amazing. Jolene happened to be around a lot, god knows why, when my ex-husband started sleeping around, back when I still wanted to keep him - you know how you hear some old song over and over again? I can't help but associate that song with that period of my life and the painful memories. THANKS for that White Stripes cover, it's great and it totally cleared my brain out of those old memories. That is a fantastic haunting version, I've heard a lot of covers of that song and this is the deepest, most honest ever.
PJ Harvey - listened to a few of her songs, okay, then I got to The River which really clicked. Gotta listen to more.
Thank you for a fantastic evening so far!
