Many of you won't know who I like, his name was Jim Ed Brown. Johnny Cash was also good. I feel old when listening to their old songs. How about you young ones?

Johnny Cash covering Nick Cave & Bad Seeds.
If I could only hear one let it be the Beatles.
More than that, throw in some Motown, the Doobie Brothers, Rare Earth, CCR, Chicago, Beach Boys, .....the list could go on.
Listen to a lot of Dylan, Young, Stones, but listen more to Joe Bonamassa
I guess deep voices are easier for my old ears. Some of these new voices border on being able to shatter windows.
Ken, Credence Clearwater Revisited (aka Credence Clearwater Revival sans John Fogerty) is playing a free concert in my town this Sunday evening. I can't say I was a huge CCR fan, but am looking forward to hearing some good music none the less.
I go back a long way but for my money Nat King Cole was the best of all male singers. But I have a lot of favorites. One thing I was consistent about, I never caught on early. It was a couple of years before I caught up with the Beatles and many of the others.
Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits - anytime, any day, 24/7
Allison Krause and Union Station
the late Eva Cassidy
I'm not a big fan of the oldies - I grew up with them so most bore me now. I have hundreds of CD's including the complete Beatles catalog, I just don't listen to them much anymore. My tastes are always changing.
Going through my library, a few of my favorites are:
Alison Krauss
Bill Medley
Dave Matthews Band
Diana Krall
Diane Birch
Ed Sheeran
Edsilia Rombley
Gavin DeGraw
Grace Potter
Jeffrey Foucault
Josh Kelley
Joss Stone
Keb' Mo'
Rodrigo Y Gabriela
Sara Bareilles
Susan Tedeschi
Tab Benoit
Tyrone Wells
I can't pick one. Been listening to a lot of Bowie this year.
Sadly(?) podcasts have replaced a lot of my music and book time.
ZZ Top, Stevie Ray Vaughn, John Lee Hooker, CCR, Janis Joplin, Ray Charles, Willie Nelson, Buddy Guy.
My dad, Bobby Joe Wiggins, who is no longer with us
Mac Powell of Third Day
Randy Phillips, Shawn Craig, and Dan Dean of Phillips, Craig, and Dean
Chris Daughtry of Daughtry
Bebo Norman
I could spend the rest of the day adding folks, but those are my top go-tos right now.
In no particular order, Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, David Bowie, Icebound to pick some highlights. As I already commented in the tribute to the battle of Long Tan, Cold Chisel are Australian to the core. Jimmy Barnes singing Working Class Man is unsurpassed in a totally different way to Led Zep's stairway to heaven, Floyds wish you were here, Eagles seven bridges road, Bowie's China Girl, or Stevie singing lead in Rhiannon. Also, I nearly forgot, Knoppfler's guitar and Freddie singing Bohemian Rhapsody. Cheers
Van Morrison.
I'm stuck in a time warp....love listening to and watching old videos of groups like The Drifters, The Box Tops, The Cascades, The Chi-Lites, The Chordettes, The Coasters, The Crests, The Shangri-Las, The Platters...etc...(love those leisure suits and hair doos).....
