Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | We are all fans of musicians, bands, singer/songwriters who we feel don't get the recognition they should...They are very talented, tour hard, have a small but devoted fan base, but just don't fit the commercial mold that allows for wider exposure...
Well, as fans, let's SPEAK UP! Who are they?? Let us know...
Scott Miller
Richard Thompson
Martin Zeller
James McMurtry |

Location: Tennessee | Mark Oliver Everett -- known as "E" or the frontman and creative mind behind The Eels.
He was dropped by his label after doing "Broken Toy Shop" which is one of my top five albums of all time. Although it got critical acclaim, it didn't sell enough. |

I have seen James McMurtry, I stumbled into a bar
in Austin, and he happend to be playing.
I had a conversation with him, being my last name is McMurtry.
His father is the author of the classic "Lonesome Dove".
