Folkiedave, usually I so agree with you ... but Rufus W and Eliza C are very different (famous folkie lineages apart): it's hardly comparing like with like. Both are superb artists in their own fields - Eliza with great renditions of Anglicana; Rufus with his own qualities which, yes, maybe have more in common with Sondheim than his parents, but are special all the same (that voice!). Let's just be glad that at least two artists who veer from the mainstream manage to get a reasonable amount of media exposure.
