Well as far as singers goes - Leah Salonga - Filipina singer was the original "Kim" in the Broadway Musical "Miss Saigon" She is a beautiful lady with a beautiful voice.
Also a buddy of mine is really into Paul Westerberg - He is pretty well known but not in a "pop" way.
In terms of country music singer song/writer Skip Ewing
In terms of songs.... I really like alot of the stuff from the soprano soundtrack...one song from season 5 'Your'e Wrapped in My Memories like Chains"
Not sure of the Artist but really like the song.
Paul Westerberg is great, but he is acutally pretty well known. Anyone heard of James McMurtrey?(sp?) He is really good, has some really great songs.
When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.

Isn't Zakk Wylde pretty well known from his Ozzy Osbourne guitarist gig???Originally Posted by Ravenlord
you'd think that. but unless a person is heavily into rock and metal or a guitar player, it would seem they have no idea who he is.Originally Posted by dman
as part of my sociology research paper, i did a couple of tests. one of which was to ask 50 people who went to last year's OzzFest to answer the following questions:
1. Name 5 bands from the show not called, Black Sabbath, Slipknot, or Judas Priest.
42 of the 50 did.
2. Name one musician from the show other than Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest of Slipknot.
33 of the 50 did.
3. Name a member of Ozzy Osbourne's band (not Black Sabbath).
20 of the 50 did.

And there is a good reason why the general public doesn't want to know these characters RL.
One I have always liked, and is known in Chrstian circles, but not so much by the general public, is guitarist Phil Keaggy. Hendrix called him the greastest acoustic gutiarist he had ever heard. That's a complement. And especially to a guy who is missing fingers on one hand. He started out with the band Glass Harp. I still have his fisrt solo album "What a Day".
"In my day you had musicians who experimented with drugs. Now it's druggies experimenting with music" - Alfred G Clark (circa 1972)
I was going to mention Phil Keaggy as well...great guitarist but the complement from Hendrix never happened...it is a popular folk story but again, it never happened...it has also been reported that Clapton said the same thing...which he did not.Originally Posted by GAC
but...LISTEN....PHIL ROCKS!!!
"Sometimes, it's not the sexiest moves that put you over the top," Krivsky said. "It's a series of transactions that help you get there."
Keaggy really is incredible. I've met him on a couple occasions. I think the Hendrix quote was from Rolling Stone, but I could be mistaken.Originally Posted by GAC
I'm also really into the music of Matt Molloy and Laurence Nugent, both excellent Irish flute players.
This goes back a few years, but.....
I remember seeing Stevie Ray Vaughan on SNL in 1986 and I was mezmerized. But, of course, he never had any songs that played on Top-40 radio, so he was virtually unknown to the masses and even the teenage aspiring guitarists like myself at the time.
From that time until his death four-and-a-half years later, I would force my friends to listen to him and I would force them to agree that SRV was placed here by divine intervention.
Of course, after his death, everyone suddenly claimed he or she had enjoyed SRV for many years.
