Interactive Poll 14 ~ It's The Guys Turn This Time

Snicolette wrote: Cristi wrote: if Nick Drake is taken, does Frankie Miller fit the bill?  Cristi:  Of course!   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?

Just to make things complicated, I like "I'm falling in Love Again" quite a bit more of these.

  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!  

yes, who's winning the poll?

Can't watch the John Gorka alternative either, it's here (but I like the other one more): Todd Snider: I've got to admit (which will make me a lot of enemies , and regards some proposals by others, too, yes, I'm looking at you Dark Elf  but not only you either), when things sound too American, anti-American that I am, I'm not going to buy them... (ironically the one I nominate is actually quite American ).

  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.  

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.

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

   You rabble rouser!

  I like both of them, still amazed I missed him.  Going "With You In Mind." Confirm you want that as your nomination, or do you want to hear some feedback from the others first?[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]

   Thanks, Scott!  Updated the list.  

I may change my mind, but if I don't post again by poll opening, put in Mark Eitzel as my choice.

I did listen some more to save me from binging on the second season of the Umbrella Academy. Some random thoughts.

Lorenzo: I liked Ivano Fossati best, though as much for the music in the second half of his song. I had not looked into his lyrics.

Nickie: Of the three artists, Richard Shindell I liked the most.
And of his three songs, Transit. His voice reminded me a bit of James Maynard Keenan of Tool. The song itself was quite vivid and I paid attention to the lyrics in a second lesson. I imagined this as something that could be animated done in a hand-drawn in colored pencil style.

Micky: I liked John Denver.

Lewian: yeah, definitely Sufjan Steven's. Carrie & Lowell is my favorite of his albums.
