A friend of mine gave me the CD Michael Franti and Spearhead's "Yell Fire" and another friend of mine gave me Groundation's Hebron Gate.
Awesome albums.
Then my father of all people introduced me to Pandora.com (the music genome project) where you can type in a band and they play a radio station filled with similar music and similarly influenced music.
Most of you will say " where have you been" when I say who I have discovered and rediscovered. To be honest, I've been mostly listening to Ray Charles, Dave Matthews and Diana Krall because my life is frantic and it's easy and calms me.
But here is who I discovered by entering in Michael Franti and others:
Ben Harper
Colin Hay (rediscovered)
Jack Johnson
And lots of new songs from people I am already familiar with
Jason Mraz
The White Stripes.
But I am ready for more suggestions.
So tell me.
What are you listening to?
