I work in a library (I'm not a librarian though) and we have a programme here called Readers Advisory. So I'd like to start my own version (sort of) in this post. I really like Steve Earle, Guy Clark and the more folky/country side of Lyle Lovett. I've also been getting into Townes VanZandt but I find much of what I've heard a little dark. Having said that I like what I've heard.

I must confess I like the storytellers. That was a big part of my life growing up in N.Ireland. Anyway based on the above information who else should I be listening to. I'm willing to reciprocate information about Irish musicians and groups. Hey this could be a perma-thread idea. Den
