Cristi:  Of course! Smile  Frankie Miller “With You In Mind”  Nice, rich, soulful voice and delivery.  “I’m Falling in Love Again” Again, wow what a great voice.  Somehow got missed here in the US (at least to my reckoning as a solo artist, anyway).  Another in the same tradition as the first, a bit darker.  Which one are you nominating? 


which ever you enjoyed more. Big smileWink

  Not sure, Steve.  We don't have the final nominations from everyone yet.  Really, the focus isn't so much on the winner, but in the sharing and discussion of things we may not have heard before.  Would you like to join in?  You still have time today to enter one before voting begins tomorrow morning.

No, I'm good Nickie. I was just throwing in a "Biden" moment. LOL

IMPORTANT NOTE:  I have a very important errand I have to run tomorrow morning, so everyone please know that the poll is open for voting at 0001 hours PDT 1 August.  Since we haven't heard from a few yet, I decided to make the poll open for voting in the late afternoon, PDT 1 August.   That should give people time to respond, and others still to listen, if they haven't made their minds up yet on the later final decisions.  Smile  

The people we're still waiting on for final decisions are listed by name on the poll voting area.

(ironically the one I nominate is actually quite American Wink).

  You Stay Here definitely has a sinister build to the music, Wisteria is more sentimental. I don't know, maybe more people can relate now than ever to You Stay Here, with the state of the world these days.  I'll contemplate switching my choice, I usually don't.  

For those intrigued with Richard Shindell, he also has another really fine, chilling and double-edged piece on this same recording, "Transit."  Those three were what I wrestled with.  I will enter Transit here, in case of any curious.  

Thank you for the alternate of the alternate video of Mr Gorka.  He's a little older and wiser than when he made the first recording.  I may enter something else of his on another poll, should the theme present itself.  

Thank you also for your thoughts on Todd Snider, he is certainly an "Americana" artist and not to everyone's taste. 

Your comments on everyone's are always thoughtful and insightful.  Thanks for playing along.  Smile

Dark Elf: Jim Croce is my pick of yours. Brilliant, brilliant guitar sound on that one.

micky: Holly Holy, indeed quite the surprise. Big smile

Jandek: And now for something very out of the ordinary... I'm very open minded for this kind of thing, but it may require more than one or two listens to get into it.

mathman: I'm a mathman, too, and Tom Lehrer is genius.

snicolette: For me You Stay Here beats Wisteria clearly. Can't watch the John Gorka alternative either, it's here (but I like the other one more):

(ironically the one I nominate is actually quite American Wink).

To be honest, I didn't have the full time to listen to all of these, so some of my opinions are based on 1 1/2 of 4 minutes or so. Everything in the final poll will be listened to in full.

micky: Kris Kristofferson is fun and I like some John Denver, however the most delicate David Gates one is my favourite of yours.

suitkees: The Dutch one is not for me. Impressed by the story behind the Catalan one, which certainly makes the song very meaningful. The documentary seems very promising and I'll have a look when I have more time. However, on musical criteria only, Raphael is my choice of yours, very catchy, and a well working dynamic arrangement,

  I think Cristi should guide us, now....thanks, I had a really hard time picking, they show two sides of this remarkable singer/songwriter.  I went with the first because I was surprised!

I liked the Ivano Fossati the most. The vocals are engaging and the arrangements are pleasant without trying too much.

I guess without understanding the lyrics it is, although it ticks all the Prog boxes, but it makes sense especially in the concept of the album.
In a few words, he gives up his youthful dreams to try to fit in an oppresive society but at this point he's tired of illusions (as the title says) and he's angry at society and himself, about how it shaped his life and how foolish it was to believe in their old-fashioned ways.
I guess getting into this album when I was realizing that myself made me connect with it even more.

My choice for this will be Richard Shindell, but I want to give you alternates of all three of my picks, this time. This is another serious song, by Richard Shindell it fought hard against "Wisteria," to be what I brought of his this time.  This is "You Stay Here"  

A story of someone I think we all have known, from John Gorka, "The Sentinel"  

Lastly, how Todd Snider broke into the big time.  A great homage to Bob Dylan, too.  "Talking Seattle Grunge Rock Blues""
