I prefer singer song writters who can carry a tune, a well as a message. I am not partial to cliche'love songs much but the feelings of that trip you may go on are more colorful to write about. My preferance varies, Carole King, Alanis, Janis J,Carly Simon,Jan Arden,Heart,Mahalia Jackson,Emi Lou Harris.....
on the Men's side, Ray Charles,Eric Clapton, John Prine, Neil Young,John Lennon,Leonard Cohen,Elvis and Mr Cash! Ronnie Van Zant, Jim Morison, and Page, Alice Cooper......You know the story tellers. Some more twisted than others but relevant to my being.
Mamas and the Papas were another of my favorite (take me on a journey group)also Floyd,Styx,Alice in Chains and Candle box, Sorry, I know this was about Women singers So I will add Dixie Chicks!....I do ramble on!
Any way, I also appreciate my vocals, I give it all I have passionately and tell my story!.....
You can catch all that from my profile or go to hjwebster.com.....one of my songs Black and Blue is about the cycle of abuse.
Anyway...
Hello to all, wishing you a creative day!
