Rediscovering Jim Croce
Loved his music as a kid and was crushed when he died. I recall me talking to my best friend saying that the reports of pot being found on the plane could not be his Now as a older guy who started a thread a while back about how hip I am having a I-Pod and all, I have started listening to his music again. Very cool

Are there any "storyteller" type singer/songwriters today? I really enjoyed music from guys like Jim Croce, Cat Stevens and Harry Chapin. I haven't listened to Jim Croce in years, probably a good re-discovery to make.

John Mellencamp's new album has a heavy folk sound to it...

I was overcome with joy, as I was listening to some Croce the other day, my son a budding musician, walked by a said "Hey, Play I've Got A Name, Again". I was a little shocked he knew of it. He said he loves it, ( he's 16). And we listened to the whole Greatest Hits album,he then said thanks and took it to rip and put on his MP3 player. I was impressed. My favorite was always "Operator", I used to go to this bar in Louisville to see a Guitar and Singer act there on Fridays with Friends.I would always request "Operator", and they always obliged. After a while, when I would walk in they would stop mid song or starting a new set, would play it for me, almost as a theme song. Very Cool Music. R.I.P.

I listened to Croce at concert just a week before he died.

Here's a few who come to mind:

Slaid Cleaves
Steve Earle
John Hiatt
Gurf Morlix
Glenn Phillips
Randy Newman
Willie Nile
T Bone Burnett
Ry Cooder
Dallas Kincaid
Jonathan Coulton
Ryan Adams (check out Whiskeytown)
John Batdorf
Dan Bern

That should get you started....

Love Croce and still listen to him from time to time. I did karaoke for the first time about 6 months ago and sang Operator. Got a rave review. I missed singing. Used to be a vocal music major and all...
