Male Singer/Songwriter Recommendation..

[Carichu]

Hi Folks!!
I'm very interested to know more about Male singer/songwriters 'cause if you cheek all my cds, the 97% of them are from Female Singers/songswriters of the 90's, so... now the Male are calling my attention...believe it or not... (i juts never think that i could say this)...anyway... If you can help me to discover more about this lovely boys i'm going to appreciated too much...

Don't make fun of my but i only know to:

Teitur
Sondre Lerche
Am
And...
mmm...
mmm..
And that's all... i'm not joking... maybe now you understand why i want to know more about guys singers!! :eek:

Well i'm all ears;)

[Farguss]

Yeah, i prefer girls too!! :D

Uhm

However, talkin' about singers, i could say..
I love Kings Of Convenience!

I don't love him so much but it's good: Josè Gonzales

Beck, of course!

Have You ever heard about a singer called Bob Dylan? :P
James Taylor too!

[Phil]

If you want more modern stuff, try:

James Morrison (Undiscovered)
Paolo Nutini (These Streets)

and if you want classic old. No collection should be without:

Jeff Buckley (Grace) - you will LOVE this.

[rosendahl]

James Taylor is right down my alley. Garth Brooks too of course.
On a more serious note, I'd recommend Jack Johnson, Richard Ashcroft, Ryan Adams, Damien Rice, Billy Joel, David Gray, John Mayer, Jeff Buckely...

[Oldgrandpa]

you should also try Ray Lamontagne, Ben Lee, Matt Costa and Josh Ritter

[Carichu]

Bob Dylan? :P


Mmm... Bod Dylan who is that man... oh is the one who make a cover of a Tina Dico's Song not? :p

Now talking seriously i don't have any cd from the great Bob, there is a special cd from he,so maybe i must buy it!! :eek:

[Carichu]

If you want more modern stuff, try:

James Morrison (Undiscovered)
Paolo Nutini (These Streets)

and if you want classic old. No collection should be without:

Jeff Buckley (Grace) - you will LOVE this.

Hey i have listen about Paolo Nutini...i guess i have to run to his myspace...

[Farguss]

Mmm... Bod Dylan who is that man... oh is the one who make a cover of a Tina Dico's Song not? :p


LOL

Yeah, Tuesday night i'll tell him so!

I don't really guess He think so too! :P

[Carichu]

If you want more modern stuff, try:

James Morrison (Undiscovered)
Paolo Nutini (These Streets)

and if you want classic old. No collection should be without:

Jeff Buckley (Grace) - you will LOVE this.

Wow... thanks for that i listen them... My favorite is Jeff Buckley, he rocks!!! :cool:

[Carichu]

James Taylor is right down my alley. Garth Brooks too of course.
On a more serious note, I'd recommend Jack Johnson, Richard Ashcroft, Ryan Adams, Damien Rice, Billy Joel, David Gray, John Mayer, Jeff Buckely...

Jeje, wow... Garth Brooks is really really bad... :p

[Carichu]

you should also try Ray Lamontagne, Ben Lee, Matt Costa and Josh Ritter

Hey I'd always listen the name of Ben Lee, now that i'm listen is awesome, lovely, Great!! :) Thanks

[Carichu]

Ohh i have to say that Gary Nock is marvelous!!! :D
Thanx Whirl-it-up for that!!

[Christian A.]

Jeje, wow... Garth Brooks is really really bad... :p Hahahaha! Hear that, Rosendahl? That's karma (for saying my drawing sucked)! :p

:rolleyes: :cool:

[rosendahl]

Jeje, wow... Garth Brooks is really really bad... :p
Hahahaha! Hear that, Rosendahl? That's karma (for saying my drawing sucked)! :p
I guess I had that one coming :o Though I can only agree, that Garth's bad in the best of ways. My taste in music aside - why hasn't anyone guessed what Christians drawing represents? I think I would have guessed it, if the stars were cars instead.

[Christian A.]

Also, don't forget Bright Eyes!

He's been called the new Dylan! Well, at least by someone on my Messenger-list :p

(but he IS good!)

[Yannick]

My new favourite male singer/songwriter is Patrick Wolf... As far as I know he's really famous in the UK. He plays many instruments and his third album "The Magic Position" was released two months ago. It's brilliant even though I prefer his second album Wind In The Wires. I'm going to see him tomorrow and I just can't wait.

Bluebells (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyFKf6a4xfQ)
Bluebells Live (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2SLy5N3hRI)
Wind In The Wires (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7ukDMnTfkE)

By the way, I'm still looking for someone who can get me his singles from HMV or Virgin because they were only released in the UK :rolleyes: :D .

[Roel]

Missy Higgins has just put up her new album on myspace, it's brilliant!

www.myspace.com/missyhiggins

Furthermore I listen to Damien Rice a lot, but I also like the light easy listening stuff John Hampson (from nine days) makes. Most of his music is available on a free legal download: http://www.mr-tea.com/ND/

Nine Days - Bitter is most probably one of my all time favorites.

Other good ones (also some bands in there):

[Carichu]

Thanx for that, i guess i have to much work to do!! :eek:

[Julia]

There is so much music to discover and so little time!
My current favourite male singers are all scandinavian singer/songwriters- why is that?!!

Magnef
Sondre Lerche
Teitur

In fact tonight I am off to my first Sondre lerche gig as I won tickets to a secret showcase in London so very excited!

[Carichu]

Also, don't forget Bright Eyes!

He's been called the new Dylan! Well, at least by someone on my Messenger-list :p

(but he IS good!)

Hey he is wonderful, but he seems to Teirur!!

Thanx for the recommendation Christian... ;)

[Nastja]

hmm not so many left whom i could mention....
I just have to say that i really enjoyed James Blunt's album. It kinda helped me in a hard time... So he is on top of my favourite male singers

[Christian A.]

Nastja, I'm glad JB helped you through a hard time, but personally I can't stand him, or his whiny voice :eek:.

But maybe that's just me :).

[Nastja]

Nastja, I'm glad JB helped you through a hard time, but personally I can't stand him, or his whiny voice :eek:.

But maybe that's just me :).

yeah, in the beginning i didnt like his voice either but i got used to ehehe
I like his lyrics a lot ))

[Oldgrandpa]

Nastja, I'm glad JB helped you through a hard time, but personally I can't stand him, or his whiny voice :eek:.

But maybe that's just me :).

it's not just you, I can't stand him too:p

[Christian A.]

So glad it's not just me, then :)

[rosendahl]

It's a bit weird, that a voice can mean that much - personally i don't care much for James Blunt either. Or Thomas Dybdahl and Antony Hegarty (Antony and the Johnsons). Although they have some really nice and meaningful lyrics, tunes and whatever, I never can see past the fact that their voices make my spine rotate and shiver (which I don't particularly like). Obviously my oppinions are not shared with everyone since these guys seem to be making a decent living being musicians :o

Hey! nobody knows Jorma Kaukonen?

Genesis is simply one of the best song i've ever heard playied with the acoustic guitar!!

[Walrus]

Always been a big Jefferson Airplane fan but never really got into Jorma's own albums. Amazing musician though.

[Farguss]

Yeah! He's great at guitar! ^_-

Anyway i know only Quah, his first (scary-covered) album, and it's almost a masterpiece! ^_-

[Papa Pete]

Hey, Carichu!
I modestly recommend Soundhole!

[Anticubital]

He is lovely!! And his music great!! :p

Tina is mentioned is this interview with AM on KCRW:

http://www.kcrw.com/music/programs/mb/mb051005am

We will se AM live in Omaha, Nebraska Dec. 1. Great!

[Anticubital]

http://www.kcrw.com/music/programs/mb/mb051005am

We will se AM live in Omaha, Nebraska Dec. 1. Great!

Well, crap!! We did not get to see AM in Omaha because of the weather here in the midwest!!! Sucks! Lost our money for the tickets...called the venue and told them to give our tickets to someone, so I hope that happened! I sure hope some of you peeps can see him in the UK!

http://www.myspace.com/amsounds


Maybe some of you will be able to talk with him about Tina!

[Carichu]

Sorry about that :(

[Sparky]

Aqualung could be a good recomendation... :o

[Walrus]

Aqualung could be a good recomendation...


http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000003JA9.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

Yep, I can always recommend some quality Tull. ;)

[Farguss]

I've recomended Jethro Tull a lot of time here!
The Christmas Album is great, believe me. ^_-

[Anticubital]

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000003JA9.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

Yep, I can always recommend some quality Tull. ;)

I think he was talking about Matt Hale?

http://aqualung.net/


Cool pic! We have that LP!

[Walrus]

Yeah, I figured he wasn't talking about Tull.

But I guarantee whoever's masquerading around calling themselves Aqualung...Ian Anderson could kick that guy's ass. Or at least hit him on the head with his flute. ;)

[Farguss]

Ian Anderson sings: "Aqualung my friend
don't you start away uneasy
you poor old sod, you see, it's only me!" (..and now toc-toc on his head with the flute!)

lol

[Anticubital]

LOL!!! I doubt he will get hit on the head by a flute! :p

http://aqualung.net/articles/matt_hales_man_of_music.php

[Dawn2Dusk]

you need to know mark kozelek and his work with red house painters and sun kil moon, his voice/lyrics/music are awesome

I would also recommend Ricard Ashcroft and Jose Gonzales (althou you may know him from his work with zero 7 :p

[Sparky]

Rufus Wainwright, perhaps...
Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk is the only song that I like...
Want Two was too much for me ... :o

[Dawn2Dusk]

I forgot Tonic Frontman Emerson Hart....his 1st solo album "Cigarettes and Gasoline" is a work of art....

[Anticubital]

Cary is an amazing singer! Please check out his history with the Hotel Cafe Tour!

http://www.myspace.com/carybrothers

Heidi and I will be at the Madison, Wisconsin show...:)

http://thehotelcafetour.com/

[brntuk]

Heres a few - going world rather than indie. try Rachid Taha (sings rock 'n rai - arabic plus rock - excellent musician). Nobody to beat salif keita - completely soulful. Manu Chao - enuff said. Fela Kuti - long songs but really rhythmic. Knut Reisrud - sweden? (Try 'I don't feel noways tired' for a 7 minute song that just builds emotion.) In England Richard Hawley - updated '50s crooner rock 'n roll. From America Seasick Steve who plays 3 string guitar. UK Jazz/rock/funk but breaking new ground - The (Neil Cowley) Trio. For oldies Peter Gabriel/John Martyn/Neil Young/Jimmy Cliff/Jah Wobble/Bugge Wesseltoft.

[Carichu]

Ohh god i really love this man!!!
Bonnie Prince Billy (http://www.myspace.com/princebonniebilly)
A weird name i know... but a beatiful music!!
I love him!!!
Specially "Cursed Sleep"...;)

[CageyAin]

Who?:confused:

[CageyAin]

Check out aintunes.com or his myspace page notain. Then you'll know who he is.

[bmwmunk]

some of my favorites are:

Dave Matthews
Jack Johnson
Neil Young
Jose Gonzales

[BRKENG]

I am surprised no one reccommended this yet....

Chris Cornell His solo work is amazing. As well as his work with Audioslave and Soundgarden. His solo work is much more slower and has more feelings than his work with the bands. He is also great with an acoustic guitar live.

Tim

[Walrus]

Love Soundgarden and Audioslave, but his solo album didn't really do much for me...it was way too long and just..felt like he was trying to hard? I dunno. I guess I like him better as a band member than a solo artist, or maybe I'm just more into how Kim Thayil and Tom Morello played around his vocals.

[LarsP]

His theme from the James Bond movie Casino Royale ROCKS!!!

[Daneska]

I know he probably doesn't fall into this category, but check out this 11-year-old wonder boy from Korea!! His name is Sungha Jung (http://www.myspace.com/jungsungha), and apparently, he just listens to a song and then figures out how to play it on the guitar.

Here are three of my favorite performances:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4CR3GoB3YY
Such calmness, can you even comprehend that the kid is only 11?!?? :rolleyes:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS0QjEeNYpM
Very cool finger tabbing on the guitar.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IXa2pNGVj8&feature=related
Did you see his fingers fly about?!?!?? :eek:

What can I say?? I'm in complete awe!! :cool:

:
I want a kid like this one..:cool:
Yeah yeah he is just :eek:

[Rebecca]

If you like danish singer/sogwriters - N*grandjean (his name is Nikolaj Grandjean)
I think he's quite good :)
This is his myspace: http://www.myspace.com/ngrandjean

And there's Rasmus, who actually sings on danish - but liten, maybe you'll like it even though you don't know what he sings :)
His myspace: http://www.myspace.com/rasmusmalmstroem
(There's only 2 songs - he didn't make a Cd.... yet! :D)

Hey, listen to Mark Linn too - if you don't know him already.
He was support on Tina's danish solo-tour in Denmark... In '06 :)
http://www.myspace.com/marklinn

[poe]

Just discovered William Fitzsimmons a week and a half ago when he opened for Brooke Fraser.
Don't be scared off by his beard... he's a really talented singer/songwriter. :)

http://www.myspace.com/williamfitzsimmons

[Dawid]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxOccBRSvig
Loreena McKennitt is quite good, she have great voice and her music is very interesting if you like celtic and irish trend in music.

[Dawid]

ooooops:) my mistake i forgot that this is topic about male singer/songwriters, i thought its about female:)

[LarsP]

So... On page 1 Rosendahl mentions John Mayer and after seeing him live on June 20th I can only say that this man rocks! Saw him in Copenhagen, DK with some fellow Tina-fans and for all of us the deal was that we had heard his radio hits and liked them + we had heard his albums a couple of times, but were not super fanatics.
The showroom was extremely hot and we were sweating bullets from minute one, but dammit... we wanted this experience! And boy did we get it. This guy - who recently has gotten his share of paparazzi fame due to a romance with Jennifer Aniston - can definitely play the guitar. Combine that with an uncanny ability to produce music which is blissfull on the ears and you have JM.
Waiting for the world to change, Bigger than my body, Gravity and Why Georgia were excellent together with his cover of the George Harrison-tune My sweet Lord were highlights together with John in general, who was extremely down to earth and even had time to write autographs during the show. He signed two guitars and even took time out to play on one of them which was my highlight of the night. It was just one of those moments where you are glad that you are there.
Should the future give me the opportunity to see Mayer again live then I will definitely take it and so should you! :)
