Anyone listen and play old stuff like Gordon Lightfoot or Simon and Garfunkel? I just started getting into playing singer-songwriters of old and its pretty good stuff. I was wondering if anyone else did it, or if there are any artists that others suggest i try to play.
yeah I cut my teeth on that stuff... my dad was a big fan. Gordon Lightfoot, Simon & Garfunkle, John Denver, Cat Stevens, James Taylor... its all pimpness.
Yea I love that stuff, defiantely buy Joni Mitchells' album Blue. It has some of the best songwriting ever, not to mention james taylor plays guitar and sings harmony with her.
Cat Stevens has tons of good stuff. I like how all my female friends love Sheryl Crow's cover of First Cut and they all think Sheryl wrote it. Ignorance.
I forgot Richie haven's is amazing, He does mostly covers(his own style), but he is just the most powerful singer and rythym guitarist ive ever heard. He opened up woodstock, if youve ever seen that video. I have some mp3's if you want em, his all along the watchtower is really cool-
I grew up listening to my dad play Lightfoot, jim croce, harry chapin, cat stevens. I've only been playing for over a year, so I'm trying to find some of their songs to learn on. (to break up the dave a lil).

Ya, my dad introduced me to his music a few years back, he is an extremely passionate performer.
