Ron says "In my opinion, Ronny Cox is still the best of the actors/musicians crowd. A close second is Kevin Bacon."

I'd cast my vote for Zooey Deschanel. Her music with M. Ward is First Rate. She and Him You can hear her sing Why Do You Let Me Stay Here on the front page. Actually, I should mention that it's the ONLY page. This has to be the simplest musical website ever.

You could also include Steve Martin in the banjo playing crowd. He's got a relatively new album out, The Crow: New Songs for the Five-String Banjo. It is also First Rate.
