Angus McSweeney Request for new singers/songwriters (61* d) Request for new singers/songwriters 27 Jul 99


I'm one of the old guys - Bob Gibson, Pete Seeger, Tom Paxton, etc, etc, up to John Prine and Steve Goodman. That's just about where my knowledge of new folk style singer/songwriters tails off. It didn't used to bother me, but the young fellow across the street started playing guitar after seeing me in a couple of coffee house gigs - he worked hard, got a nice guitar and I'm pleased (almost proud) to say that he's very popular at some of the local places now. We talk about getting together for a jam, but when I asked him what music he's playing he answered with a list of folks I've never heard of! And I didn't write any of them down! So how about some of you Hip Catter's (Hipcats? My kids cringe when I use words like that, Daddy-o. I never did when I was young, but it sure is fun to bother them now - so, like totally, way UNCOOL!) -help me out. (Sorry about the digression, but those of you who have heard from me before know it's my way) Let me try again: I would like to know who's hot in folk music today! It just might give me a chance to learn some new songs. Who do you like?
