Mike Doughty
first song heard:Looking At The World From The Bottom of A Well

easily my #1… can't go a day right now w/out listening to him

Jack Johnson
first song heard:Rodeo Clowns
fell in love with:Taylor

i really liked him a few years ago when i first heard him… then i got back into him when 'In Between Dreams' came out… and i've recently resurrected him in my music world as i've been trying to learn the guitar.

Johnny Cash
first song heard:I Walk The Line ???
fell in love with:Hurt
currently loving:If I Were A carpenter
what can i say… a musical god… i've gotten into him more, too, due to my guitar learning.

Jason Mraz
first song heard:The Remedy (I Won't Worry) ???
fell in love with:What We Want
currently loving:What We Want (from Rhythm Cafe #3)
i didn't really care for him one way or the other when he first was getting radio play… but then a few months ago i discovered his acoustic stuff… MUCH better!

Ben Harper
first song heard:Steal My Kisses
fell in love with:Steal My Kisses
currently loving:Walk Away
i got into harper at the same time i was getting back into jack johnson, thanks to a friend who borrowed some CD's to me!

Jackson Browne
first song heard:Miles Away ???
fell in love with:I'll Do Anything
currently loving:The Pretender
my dad always listened to browne as i was growing up, so i've always been listening to him.

Modest Mouse
first song heard:Float On
fell in love with:Black Cadillacs

i really liked the video for 'float on' (maybe more than the song), but after buying 'good news…' they've really never left my rotation.

Ysabella Brave
first song heard:Let's Misbehave!
fell in love with:Let's Misbehave!

Citizen Cope
first song heard:Son's Gonna Rise
fell in love with:Nite Becomes Day
