    Your Favorite Singers/Bands

    Many of you won't know who I like, his name was Jim Ed Brown. Johnny Cash was also good. I feel old when listening to their old songs. How about you young ones?

    If I could only hear one let it be the Beatles.

    More than that, throw in some Motown, the Doobie Brothers, Rare Earth, CCR, Chicago, Beach Boys, .....the list could go on.

    I guess deep voices are easier for my old ears. Some of these new voices border on being able to shatter windows.

    Ken, Credence Clearwater Revisited (aka Credence Clearwater Revival sans John Fogerty) is playing a free concert in my town this Sunday evening. I can't say I was a huge CCR fan, but am looking forward to hearing some good music none the less.

    I go back a long way but for my money Nat King Cole was the best of all male singers. But I have a lot of favorites. One thing I was consistent about, I never caught on early. It was a couple of years before I caught up with the Beatles and many of the others.

    I'm not a big fan of the oldies - I grew up with them so most bore me now. I have hundreds of CD's including the complete Beatles catalog, I just don't listen to them much anymore. My tastes are always changing.

    Going through my library, a few of my favorites are:

    Alison Krauss
    Bill Medley
    Dave Matthews Band
    Diana Krall
    Diane Birch
    Ed Sheeran
    Edsilia Rombley
    Gavin DeGraw
    Grace Potter
    Jeffrey Foucault
    Josh Kelley
    Joss Stone
    Keb' Mo'
    Rodrigo Y Gabriela
    Sara Bareilles
    Susan Tedeschi
    Tab Benoit
    Tyrone Wells

    I can't pick one. Been listening to a lot of Bowie this year.

    Sadly(?) podcasts have replaced a lot of my music and book time.

    I could spend the rest of the day adding folks, but those are my top go-tos right now.

    In no particular order, Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, David Bowie, Icebound to pick some highlights. As I already commented in the tribute to the battle of Long Tan, Cold Chisel are Australian to the core. Jimmy Barnes singing Working Class Man is unsurpassed in a totally different way to Led Zep's stairway to heaven, Floyds wish you were here, Eagles seven bridges road, Bowie's China Girl, or Stevie singing lead in Rhiannon. Also, I nearly forgot, Knoppfler's guitar and Freddie singing Bohemian Rhapsody. Cheers
