Holly, I'm glad to get a nibble on my David Mead post. I'm currently waiting for his newest CD, "Dudes," to arrive in the mail -- I supported it through Kickstarter. I'd recommend starting with 2004's stripped-down "Indiana" and then 2006's "Tangerine," a bigger production and a real tour de force.
I followed Elvis Costello closely up through "Goodbye Cruel World," but then his knotty lyrics began to repel rather than attract me.

Hollyh do you like Nick Drakes songwriting? I do like Nick Drake, though I haven't heard much -- not that there is much, sadly. You have to wonder what he could have produced had he lived longer. I have heard one Richard Hawley album, but I didn't ultimately like it. I like his voice but his songwriting seemed a bit one-note to me. Perhaps other albums are better. I know he's got a good reputation. Whether or not he deserves to be called "1st class" remains to be seen...

I followed Elvis Costello closely up through "Goodbye Cruel World," but then his knotty lyrics began to repel rather than attract me. I also fell off the Costello bandwagon about that time, for the same reason. He was really going some personal rabbit-hole at the time, and it touched all those songs. But years later I started listening to him again -- about the time of When I Was Cruel -- and I found that he gotten the old gift back. Then I went back and got all the albums I'd missed and there was lots of great stuff in there. Finally I listened to Goodbye Cruel World again and I couldn't figure out what had put me off in the first place! ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) Now he's back in permanent heavy rotation on my daily playlist.

Thats right hollyh,nick drake had a very short life/musical career and yes it does beggar the question what music was to lie ahead if he had lived.Its also sad that probably 99% of his fans (myself included) only got to know his music after his death ![:'(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cry.png) .Thanks also for your comments about Richard Hawley.I love him but can also appreciate people have different tastes and it would be a dull world if we all liked the same things ![;)](http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g100/HollH/smileys/10nid1z.gif) ;D

Hmmm, not sure 'Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport' classes as good songwriting! ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) I'd add Kurt Cobain to this list too ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
