Favorite artists certainly can fluctuate. At present, my top 5 have been running consistent and as follows:
1. John Mellencamp ~ That’s a given and lwy, your suspicions are spot on!
2. Amos Lee
3. Lucinda
4. Mike Younger
5. Stoll VaughanHey Lafayette, as to Amos # 2 from his album”Last Days at the Lodge” Greg Liesz played pedal steel.
As TOverby just reported, Greg played rhythm guitar on Lu’s new song “Kiss Like Your Kiss”Here is a quote on Amos album I’m sure you have seen before.
QUOTE:
All songs are Lee compositions and he also plays guitars. His core rhythm section is made up of Doyle Bramhall, Jr on guitar, Spooner Oldham on keyboards, Pino Palladino on bass and James Gadson on drums but also making appearances are Greg Liesz on pedal steel, Rami Jafee on keys, Jamie Muhoberac on additional keys, Justin Stanley on keys, bass, drums, percussion, Don Was on keys and Patrick Leonard on harmonium & b-3. String arrangements are by the legendary Larry Gold.It doesn’t quite reach the dizzy heights of sweetness and angst that his self-titled debut Amos Lee did but I definitely prefer this to its follow up, Supply and Demand. Four very solid stars.

Small world isn’t it?-all these links to Lucinda.
lwjYes, I love connecting dots ! Add Elvis Costello as another dot, sort of, Amos was opening act for the Dylan / Costello run a few years ago.
I’m very excited to see what type of direction Lucinda goes with her new material.
Here is some footage I took in March of Amos at the Mercy Lounge in Nashville. The stage lights (and the vertical challenge of the videographer) were positioned such that the lighting on the footage is not the best, but the audio is pretty damn good.
“Truth” from “Last Days at The Lodge” (where he holed himself up in the famous Sportsman Lodge in LA to write the material for the record.)

One of the new songs he premiered, hopefully will end up on his new record. He said he was unsure on what direction he would be taking in the studio. “Cup Of Sorrow” may end up completely different than as performed.

Thanks for all the dot connecting!

3. Lucinda
4. Mike Younger-June 27th and 28th
5. Stoll Vaughan-surprise at Eddie’s Attic Decatur, GA on July 21stHey Lafayette, are you going for a new record?
4 out of 5 ain’t bad in less than 1 month.I’ll bet if West Words / tntracy egg you on any further a grand slam for Artist #3. would be awesome.
You have covered a lot of territory.
lwjLafayette – DO IT!!! And while you’re at it, make up your mind to come out West and see the best that it can be – the Lu/JP/Chrissie shows.
LWJ, I do believe you are an instigator! 😉 😀
xo, Sandy
Lafayette, and don’t miss Mr. Prophet at Natasha’s Cafe in Lexington August 1st…
(There, now you have PUBLIC pressure! 😉 )
Tom 😈 😈 😈
So many things going on in this thread! 😆
First, to lwj, I actually saw Mike Younger (for the first time in 3 years) the later part of June. He played a small bar AND a Studio 89 at WNKU 89.7. Mark him down as June 27 & June 28.
In regards to adding to my top 5 performers, I may be adding to the list (Tom & Sandy, as it’s looking better) Lu’s Saratoga show! Sandy, unfortunately, this isn’t one of your shows, the shows you are attending will definitely not work for me.
I’m on the fence in regards to Chuck Prophet. I would love to see him live, however, I also know I need to keep my rear home for awhile if I plan on heading to CA? See my dilemna? I will think about Chuck since ya’ll have been raving about him so much.

OK I modified my post to state 4 out of 5 is outstanding in less than a month.
I sure have enjoyed Mike’s “Hustled By Squares” CD you gave me in Windsor last week.
Saratoga? What can I say?
