It's been almost 50 years, yes I know, 50 years since we've first been blown away by the magacian known as, Bob Dylan. Many of us, who feel like throwing up when we hear new Nickelback songs and all the other shit in mainstream today are dying for a new voice like Bobby D's, even though we really know there will never be...another Bobby D. But...there are some rising new artists who are a decent replacement.
Ray LaMontagne - If you talk to any of my friends, they will tell you how much I love this guy. What is it about this guy that's so amazing? His voice. It's a such a rarity to hear. He sings with the tenderness soul of Joe Cocker and belts out fire of Van Morrison. He mixes gentle folk songs with ferocious rock/pop songs. Critics already declare him, "the next Bob Dylan," but only with 2 albums released, he will have to prove to us he can continue with the buzz he's already generated, with his tours with Guster and David Gray and his new solo tours. Check that shit out!
