I agree with ebm, NOBODY is the correct answer. There is no artist, if they live long enough, who will put out music that will always please you no matter how much you love them. Not even Bowie. They all end up either going commercial at times or experimenting with some abstract thing that will be completely unlike the bulk of their work. That's the nature of the beast. Like if you like blonds, some of them will still be ugly :)
Artists you feel you can rely on, buy any new album unheard.
Now I've stopped upgrading, the music forum is my first port of call when I bring up the Audiogon site. There are so many discussions with different wording, but the same aim, to pass onto other readers our particular enthusiasms.
So if you're flicking through your Ipad looking for inspiration on the server, or idly checking physical albums, what artist or musician makes you stop? Most of us have favourites, where all their discs are a good listen, no duds, what are yours?
There is no limit on genre, except maybe popular not classical. I love classical too, but it will get too complex. So Jazz, Blue Grass, Singer Songwriter, Covers artists, folk, rock etc. I'll start with my suggestions, in no particular order. Partly because the order would be different next week anyway. If anyone asks for a good starting album, I will make a suggestion, perhaps other responders can do the same.
Alison Kraus,
Shawn Colvin,
Nina Simone,
Gregory Porter,
Frank Sinatra, of course,
Kate Rusby
Jonatha Brooke
Stacey Kent,
Antonio Forcione
Paul Carrack
Paul Rogers
Eliza Gilkyson
Joni Mitchell
Sara K
I look forward to exploring your suggestions.
