Please. The winner is Richard Thompson. Beyond a shadow of a doubt the best male singer, songwriter and guitarist alive today. Had the pleasure of attending back to back acoustic shows this past year. Nobody and I mean nobody comes close to Richard. His body of work is incredible. With or without back up the best. Anyone that says otherwise can kiss Darcie's ass. I suggest those that have not been turned on to this guy, (obviously living in a cave), should start by checking out his CD "Action Packed: Best Of Capitol Years" which includes the following. Look at this list. Say no more. A very small sampling of his work. They could turn out 5 of these best of CD's for this guy. I think his latest "Persuasion" which he recorded with his son is my favorite song of 2001. Truly beautiful. King of Testosterone "Richard Thompson". Game over.

Check out his album Gold for the songs "It's Harder Now That It's Over" and "Nobody Girl". Both are supposedly about her. He also has an unreleased song called "Movie Star Girl" that is most likely about her and is on several boots. Matt Send FREE video emails in Yahoo!

The winner is Richard Thompson. This is not at all suggested as a match or equal to Richard Thompson, but if y'all are checking out Richard you might also check out his son, Teddy Thompson. His self-titled cd is a wonderful debut, in my opinion, and all music and lyrics are written by Teddy with some help from pal Rufus Wainwright on one or two. :) _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Jan 2002 12:58:15 -0500 From: "Andrew, Lee" Subject: RE: MM: A bit o' testosterone I'll check out Richard Thompson if I can count on at least a couple of you young 'uns buying a Jackson Browne CD or two...

Just an observation.. I remember way back when (like early '98) these "suggestions of other artists" topics would come up and there would be 4 or 5 responses! Wow, the power of Patty's music WITHOUT any record label support! :-) Dave ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Jan 2002 21:09:10 EST From: ShmephSasso@aol.com Subject: MM: MM - WEIRD AND WORTHIT Ferron - albums hard to find but beautiful, haunting, lyrics and melodies. "Driver," especially the songs "Girl on a Road" and "Cactus" More folky Heather Eatman - "Real." Not as powerful lyrics, but every song on this CD is catchy and satisfying. More pop-style Stephanie PS - Thanks for adding to my list of CDs to buy when I strike it rich (I won't want to wasting any time then researching artists :) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Jan 2002 22:40:57 EST From: Danalee7@aol.com Subject: Re: MM:NPC: Catie Curtis In a message dated 1/8/02 7:55:06 PM, Fbichick42@aol.com writes: << Does anyone know anything about Catie Curtis? Someone told me she was good and I was wondering if you liked her-or not. >> Yes we like her- we love her! Run right out and get Catie Curtis or Truth From Lies. Dad's Yard, Wolf, Radical, You Can Always Be Gone- many many good songs- all her albums are good and she is very enjoyable in concert. She is a rare singer that I knew from the first line of the first song I ever heard her do {Dad's Yard} that I was in for a treat and going to be very interested in her music. Joel Raphael Band is another group that has that distinction with me. Cheryl Wheeler also.

Wasn't there another Richard Thompson back in the 80's who was not acoustic particularly- really big singer? I have heard the name, but thought it was that Richard Thompson.

My favorite CD of her's is still "Angel in My House" when she and Jennifer Kimball (also worth checking out as a solo artist) were recording under the name "The Story." For her solo CDs I'd go with "Plumb" (very cool duet with Bruce Cockburn on "War" which she wrote about the Gulf War but works quite well today) In truth, you really can't go wrong, they're all good. Jonatha is a terrific songwriter, has a very distinctive voice and should not be missed live.
