I LOVE threads like this.... I'm always on the look-out for new music.

 

That Lucille Boggs one has gone into my favourites. What a shame she's no longer with us. I'll bet she provided her family with years of wonderful songs.

Garrison Starr is one of my favourite songwriters. She was on Geffen in the 90s, and dropped after a dispute. She's been independent for about ten years now.

 

Jay Nash is another. They did a few performances together for Sun Studio Sessions, as well as their solo work, and tours together. They also played together with The North La Brea All-Star Conquistadors (with Gabriel Mann, a friend of mine, and Adrianne).

 

I'm quite fond of Garrison's "Inside Out," and "Beautiful In Los Angeles" (you may have heard the latter on The Hills, for all you fans...).
