Here are some links to just a few artists I admire
-- check them out!
Lindy Dickerson
First of all, I gotta tell you about Lindy's recording expertise. I thought his CD "Carry Me Away" captured classic tones and had defeated problems that come from recording with digital technology. He has an excellent ear for mic placement and rich guitar tones. When the time came to record my CD, I chose Lindy's studio to record "Mission Belle." It's the best I've ever sounded. Thanks, Lindy!
Lindy is also a wonderful musician and songwriter.
He is an urban poet who sings of salt of the earth, working-man observations; folks who have become separated by their search for The American Dream. He can also lay down some scorching Rock-n-Roll. When Lindy slings on his vintage SG Gibson he literally looks armed. Its a complete change of personality. This appeals to me. Think the 50s on speed meets Gin Blossom.
For proof, check out his latest CD, "Carry Me Away."
Mark Prudeaux
Mark writes songs where the title is a curious draw, i.e. "Nobody Does Drugs Anymore" or "I Hate Psychology." But the songs don't end there. The lyrics reveal a wisdom of life with a frustration at not being able to change it. His "Blissful Idiot" is anything but; "She Asked Me What I Wanted for Breakfast" does entail breaking a few eggs. Along with being an amazing musician, Mark is a talented artist, as you will see when you visit his website.

Ric Taylor
Ric is a songsmith with a touch of the preacher-man, guru, spiritualist. His sermons are seductive, like floating down a river in a canoe and laying back and letting Ric navigate you to the hidden treasures on the river.
His song, "Welcome to L.A." is hands-down the best song out there. When I first heard it, I slowly put my head in my hands and was overcome with emotion. I thought, "Can I kill this guy and claim this song as my own?" I was sick with envy. How did he get inside my head? It's MY life he's singin about anyway. There is no other song that has better captured the pursuit and pitfalls of Hollywood fame.
Ric has an amazing inventory of other brilliant songs. It's worth looking him up just to figure out how he plays the guitar that way...
