Will artists like Alejandro Escoveto, John Prine, and Steve Earle, get recognized here?

Question

Alejandro Escoveto, John Prine, and Steve Earle. I drop their names in R and P and get no response. I have not seen them over hear, but I don't live hear like Taylor Swift.

Q2. Do you think their is some major holes in the music categories at YA?

Answer 1

John Prine Rules, but not so much since his throat cancer.



Steve Earle's great



I don't know Escoveto



What about Steve Goodman?



Edit. John was operated on in 1998 for throat cancer in 1998. It changed both his jaw line & voice. He has reportedly been ok ever since.

Q2.Yes I do,

Answer 3

I love John Prine, my favorite song by him is "Paradise" and "Your Flag Decals Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore"



Steve Earle had a talk show on Sirius Satellite radio a while back, I'm not sure if he still does or not.



I'm not familiar with Alejandro Escoveto though.

Answer 4

I've asked questions about John Prine before here in the country section and I have got a few responses.One of my favorite songwriters..Steve Earl I don't really care for mainly because of his radical political views.I never heard of the first one but I will check him out!



And yes some major holes indeed.There needs to be a folk music section and the rock and country sections needs to have a classic rock section and a modern rock section,same with the country section.

Answer 5

yes, major holes. But it depends on who's in here when you ask. Right now you've got mostly younguns hangin around...they most likely won't have a clue about these artists.

Personally, I love Escovedo. I bought his newest album yesterday, good as always.

John Prine's a classic staple in our house & Steve Earle's the man :)



How 'bout Jeff Buckley, Elliott Smith, Ray LaMontagne, The Decemberists don't even get much attn in here...
