What artists can you not get enough of?

I inexplicably forgot two of my very favorite music making couples: Buddy & Julie Miller and Larry & Teresa Campbell. If I could listen to only one currently-active artist for the rest of my life, it would be Buddy Miller. A great singer, guitarist, and record producer. Buddy doesn’t do much songwriting, but he finds excellent material to record, some written by his wife and musical partner Julie. They have made a coupla albums together, and Buddy a bunch of solo albums (Julie one of her own). He also has served as Emmylou Harrises guitarist, harmony singer, and bandleader for many years, and also leads the band at the annual Americana Honors And Awards ceremony. Larry Campbell was in Dylan’s band for many years, then collaborated with Levon Helm for about as long. The two albums he has made with his wife Teresa are fantastic.

@bdp24 - I am surprised not to see Kelly Willis on your list of outstanding musical artists.

First heard her on a Monty Warden CD (who is also pretty fab).

Another one I forgot @chazz101s! I do indeed like Kelly a lot; I have seven of her albums on CD, one on LP. I used to have one Monte Warden album, and one Wagoneers album, of which he was a member. I don’t remember getting rid of them, but I don’t see them in my racks.

Speaking of Kelly, about a year and a half ago I saw her live at the Mississippi Studios in Portland, Oregon, as a member of the Wonder Women Of Country trio. The trio is comprised of Kelly, Brennen Leigh, and Melissa Carper. All three sing, Melissa plays upright bass, Kelly and Brennen guitar. I have two albums (on LP) each of Brennen and Melissa, all mighty fine.

The Wonder Women Of Country are currently on the road, and will be appearing at The Showdown Saloon in Portland (a half a block down the street from the Aladdin Theater) on the 26th (next Saturday), the venue at which I recently saw Jim Lauderdale. I’ll be there. Those in the Portland area reading this should join the fun. Warning! The drinks are awfully expensive (at least the Johnnie Walker Black double I ordered was), but they don’t frisk you at the door (if you catch my drift).

Thx for correcting my misspelling of Monte!

And for the ace info about Kelly W's group sound.

I’ve been around a long time and I listen to music just about every day of this life. Always looking for new music and I find it often. You always tend to go through phases when there’s a whole wide world of music to get to. I’m always in a phase of some sort and that said, I have lots of musical heroes and lots of favorites, but inexplicably, when putting on a record to either read by, cook or putz around the house, through the years, I’ll say I go to Bill Evans probably more than anybody. Is he my favorite of all time? No, but whatever it is he does, it completely agrees with me & my existence.

Billie, Frank, Coltrane, Winwood, Nancy Wilson, early Peter, Paul and Mary (magnificent sounding records, by the way) Elvis, 60’s Blue Note, Beatles, Kurt Elling- tons more, all stuff I’ve consistently gone back to, yet I’m always looking for a better remastering of anything Bill Evans.

There’s no explaining it.
