What a week!
Townes Van Zandt (147 plays)
It's official. Townes is my favorite performer. And I'll stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table and say that!
his music is haunting and beautiful. Strong folk and blues influenced outlaw country. He actually makes me proud to live in Houston.
really touching moment at 1:25
Lightnin' Hopkins (39 plays)
A Texas blues legend. His lyrics often are dark and humorous.
Tom Waits (36 plays)
Listened to
Bone Machine and played
Dirt in the Ground about a billion times.
Bob Dylan (25 plays)
Played some of
Highway 61,
John Wesley Harding, and
Nashville Skyline.
Nick Drake (19 plays)
Played some tracks off of

Punch (16 plays)
Played the self titled. If you haven't heard that album yet, it's a modern-day hardcore/thrash classic.
Notorious B.I.G. (14 plays)
Played some stuff from
Ready to Die and
Life After Death.
Blind Lemon Jefferson (13 plays)
Played the singles anthology. Pre-war blues if often overshadowed by the legendary Robert Johnson, but Blind Lemon J was actually a big influence on him. Some great stuff.
