Either singer-songwriters or traditional music - I enjoy those whose songs can inspire, tell a good story, or a make me feel part of a community and a history.

There are so many singer-songwriters that deliver the goods. The aforementioned John Gorka plus people like David Massengill, Rod MacDonald, Antje Duvekot, Joe Jencks, Danny Schmidt, Chuck Brodsky,Eliza Gilkyson, Lori McKenna, Thea Hopkins.... we are lucky to be living in an age when there are so many talented artists. I truly believe that the current crop of songwriters are creating songs that are among the best I've ever heard - beating the 60's folk revival that put this art on the map.
