Forgot to mention the vastly underrated Mick Hanley and Priscilla Herdman. She recorded a song of mine on her Forgotten Dreams LP years ago for which I'm most appreciative.

Another guy who is REAL good is Jim Craig from Chicago. He owns a music store there called Hogeye Music and is very much a singer's singer. Golden voice, clear as a church bell. Sterling individual as well. Also, from Chicago Megan Mcdonough can break your heart she's SO good. Was in 4 Bitchin' Babes for a couple of tours.
