I would not say such things if I were you… you do NOT want the “JEssie’s Girl” curse put on you!

That’s the curse where Rick Springfield whacks you in the face with the headstock of his guitar… much like the way he did to the bathroom mirror in the song’s video.

Yeah, be afraid and TAKE THAT BACK.

I’ve seen Sallie Jaye and Rachael Yamagata both play with my current FAVE, an artist named MEIKO – have you heard of her? If you’re in love with mellow songs, check out “Hawaii”, “Walk By” and “Sleep” on her album – her MySpace page has music featured – http://www.myspace.com/meiko

holy crap, you were NOT KIDDING about the guitar solo on Amarillo. I got goosebumps listening to that! The last time I got goosebumps listening to a guitar solo on a mellow song (don’t laugh :P) was “Everything I Do (I Do For You)” By Bryan Adams. The song was so-so, but the solo was an effin’ MASTERPIECE.

The gearhead in me wants to ask: any insight into what kind of gear (guitar, amps) was used to record that?

Very nice list. I absolutely LOVE 9 Crimes. I could listen to that one on repeat for like 593 hours straight and never get sick of it.

good lord, that Emmylou song is just lovely. And “Amarillo”… very, very nice.
but we will have to agree to REALLY disagree on that, uh, greatest song ever written. GAWD.

Any list that includes Josh Ritter is okay in my book!! I just smile everything I see him in one of your posts here :)

Thanks for the intro to Sally and Rachael as well, such wonderful artists.

And what can you say about “Jessie’s Girl”, other than it is awesome!
