If you like that old-style country and bluegrass stuff, you might be interested in this guy. I've seen him a couple times here in NYC at a regular night he holds at Rockwood Music Hall. His name's Michael Daves and he's true to the original style, not doing it as a gimmick. He can even nail the "high lonesome" (tongue stuffed into his cheek, singing through his nose) style. It's not totally my bag, but seeing him live is really something. Only once in a while do you see someone who COMPLETELY surprises you.

I gotta confess, my country likings do not stray far from 70's outlaw or John Doe... I added the Roscoe post on a whim.
I hear ya. Like I said, not something I seek out. But when this skinny unassuming guy stepped up and then belted that shit out, I was blown away.
