Debut releases that don’t disappoint…
 

Listened to the new Thorns CD. Heavy folk, light rock. But still, pretty decent. Here are some recommendations. Weigh in with your thoughts.

Joe Firstman (New guy http://joefirstman.com/ opening for Sheryl Crow. AMAZING)
Gavin Degraw (http://www.gavindegraw.com/)
Josh Kelley (http://www.joshkelley.com)
These three stand out for me. What do you think?

BTW, I don't know how many people here watch the Sundance Channel, but tonight is the final episode of Keeping Time: New Music From America's Roots at 7:30. I love that show. Joe Firstman is going to be on the show since it's about songwriting, or at least I think that's what it's about - the episode's title is "Art Of Song". Anyways, I thought that was an interesting coincidence since I mentioned him in my first post. It's pretty impressive that he's on the show when you consider how young he is.
