    The best music you've never heard...

    Ok, so my nephew got married a few months ago. It was a nice wedding. They're both accomplished musicians. He hasn't been 'discovered' yet; maybe one day, although she has. Anyway... they put together a compilation CD of their own and other peoples music that they gave out to the guests. I hadn't really listened to it until the other day. The entire disc is pretty excellent and I was liking one track in particular. The performer is a friend of theirs and I liked his music so much, I looked him up on the web. The fellows name is Scott Krokoff. His CD is unbelievable. Waay better than you'd expect. There's really a nice variety of music so I thought I'd share. Full tracks can be listened to here...

    Scott Krokoff - A Better Life

    Favorites of mine are (lite R&R) Tomorrow's Coming, & Acid Rain. (country) Holy Fire & Autumn Sky. (ballad) Teresa Jane & You and Me... seems to be something for everyone. Hope you like it.

    I'll have to check it out when I get home and away from work internet restrictions.

    As for myself, I can say that some of the best music I have ever listened to was from a bunch of no-name musicians. When I was in my mid-late teens, I used to go to a tiny B.Y.O.B. basement jazz club in NYC called "Smalls".

    After the house band finished playing, the floor would go to open session and all the locals (as well as many greats) would just hammer it out until the sun came up. I have yet to find another jazz club that tickles me the way that place did.

    Anyone here from NYC know if Smalls is still open over in Alphabet City? I'd love to get back there again some day.

      I'm checking him out now. I really like Holy Fire.

      I don't normally like country but that song has put a smile on my face

        Good, I'd be interested to know what you think, and Small's still seems to be around.

          I think I'd really like a lot of authentic folk, bluegrass and classic country, but I don't know where to start.

            The soundtrack to "O Brother Where Art Thou" is rather good.

              Peter Frampton is the win.

                Broke & Hungry Records - Jimmy Duck Holmes

                  That's blues, Karl. And some nasty blues at that. I appreciate it, though. :wink:

                    That is what you get for skim reading a post ops:

                    Anyway, have a look at this record store's selection, it might give you some ideas

                    Personally, I find it hard to categorise music, especially because I listen to anything (except R&B, techno, trance and commercial hip-hop)
