  I have a deep affection for old Randy, even just for "In Germany before the war."

Hi, I wanted to thank you for the recommendation of 'Stormcock'! It literally captivated me as an album! Anyway, thanks and take care :)

  Please, fellow countryman... it’s always a pleasure to share good music with others. PS: For me, "Hors d'ouvres" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written; I mean, how can a song like that not captivate you, found in an album like that?
- SalvaDM
  1 sep 16
  
  Wow, you're from Naples too?? I'm from the surrounding areas of Pozzuoli.
  Anyway, the whole album has no dead spots. I need to listen to the previous ones now :)

  I’m in. I guess I should listen to it too at this point :D
- bluesboy94

  In that list (on this site there are people who can provide you with more extensive ones), there was also Roy Harper.... tonysoprano, so what have you been waiting for until now? ;)
- bluesboy94
  1 sep 16
  
  For @[SalvaDM]: anyway, in Naples there are still some old-school record stores well-stocked... obviously for a record like "Stormcock" (I'll buy it too one day) you have to shell out quite a bit!
- tonysoprano
  1 sep 16
  
  Of course. The more an artist is "niche" (so to speak), the harder it is to find a CD and the more it costs.
- SalvaDM
  1 sep 16
  
  Blues, can you tell me some good and well-stocked stores??
  P.S. Which list??
- SalvaDM
  1 sep 16
  
  I checked down, wow if it's a list of singer-songwriters, I'd love to see it. Maybe there’s stuff I don’t know!
- tonysoprano
  1 sep 16
  
  He made a comment with at least about 70 singer-songwriters in April. I have it on my PC. Oh no. I have it on drive. I'm coming.
- tonysoprano
  1 sep 16
  
  Here they are, the ones he recommended to me back then: Gene Clark, Gram Parsons, Tony Joe White, Townes Van Zandt, Bert Jansch, Roy Harper, John Martyn, Kevin Coyne, Kevin Ayers, Randy Newman, David Ackles, Laura Nyro, Judee Sill, Annette Peacock, Linda Perhacs, Sybille Baier, John Cale, Jackson C. Frank, Richard Thompson, Fred Neil, Tim Hardin, Shawn Phillips, Eric Andersen, Scott Walker, Jacques Brel, George Brassens, Donovan, Smog, Jeff Buckley, Elliott Smith, Mark Lanegan, Lisa Germano, Vic Chesnutt, Mark Kozelek, Mark Linkous, Mark Oliver Everett, Sandy Denny, Anne Briggs, Phil Ochs, Cat Stevens, Mark Eitzel (American Music Club), Kate Bush and the two Peters (Gabriel and Hammill), Sixto Rodriguez, Paul Simon, Buffy Saint-Marie, Costello, David Crosby, Jim Croce, Rickie Lee Jones.

  Wow! Thanks
- tonysoprano

  Thank bluesboy94, certainly not me ahahahah
- SalvaDM
  1 sep 16
  
  I know several of them, while others only by name!
- tonysoprano
  1 sep 16
  
  I recommend Luis Alberto Spinetta (Argentinian, listen to Kamikaze) and the great Victor Jara (go check out the wonderful review by @[lector], it's worth it! And I also suggest Stephan Micus (not a singer-songwriter, but a new age/avant folk multi-instrumentalist, and his album Implosions).
- hjhhjij
  1 sep 16
  
  Save, listen to me by Harper, also listen to the following ones. I'm telling you this because among the scattered tracks that I already listened to back then, there's the infinite "Lord's Prayer" contained on "Lifemask" from 1973. Considered one of his artistic peaks not far from "Stormcock."
- SalvaDM
  1 sep 16
  
  I know Victor Jara quite well, I know very little about Micus, while I have never listened to Luis Alberto Spinetta. Thank you, Gabriele.
- bluesboy94
  1 sep 16
  
  The only work of Micus I know is the hypnotic "As I Crossed A Bridge Of Dreams"; I'll take note of the other two names!
- tonysoprano

  As I Crossed a Bridge Of Dreams...extraordinary suite...
- SalvaDM
  1 sep 16
  
  I've been up here for a little over a month... listening to everything that's been suggested means no more exams for university xD
- tonysoprano
  1 sep 16
  
  Well, Czeslaw Niemen... I might be redundant, but you have to listen to him, damn it (I'm obviously not referring to Salvatore, since he's already listened to him).
- bluesboy94
  1 sep 16
  
  And I almost forgot Guy Clark (who passed away a few months ago), Mickey Newbury (Looks Like Rain and 'Frisco Mabel Joy are two albums to listen to at least once in a lifetime), Ewan MacColl, Jake Holmes (his debut album alone is enough; anyone who loves Led Zeppelin will get a surprise), Stan Ridgway, Warren Zevon just to throw out some names I've recently discovered.
- SalvaDM
  1 sep 16
  
  Continuing with the theme of songwriters, I recommend three modern singer-songwriters: Bonnie Prince Billy, Sufjan Stevens, and Matt Elliott. Also, even though he’s prehistoric, considering the revival in recent years, I would recommend Bill Fay as well. At least I try to give back too.
- tonysoprano
  1 sep 16
  
  Jake Holmes, I know who he is... I love Led Zeppelin and I know about the "theft" for Dazed and Confused.
- tonysoprano
  1 sep 16
  
  I only know Zevon's debut and that's it... but what an album! Tom Petty!
- SalvaDM
  1 sep 16
  
  I've never been a big fan of Tom Petty, though. Anyway, I've made a note of them. Blues, you really are a fan of singer-songwriters! Great.
- bluesboy94

  @[SalvaDM] I already told Tony Soprano: 80% of the music I know I discovered during these 3 years of university, so... aside from many of those names, they have a sparse discography (Parsons 2 albums, Neil 3, Ackles 4, Sill 3, of which one is posthumous, Jackson C. Frank, whom I consider one of the greatest, 1, Baier 1, Perhacs 2, with a third about to be released) or a rich one but with only certain episodes that you have to listen to at all costs (like the first two of R.L. Jones, the first 3 of Nyro, the pairing "Blue River-Stages" for Andersen, "White Light" - a fabulous album, you should listen to it - for Gene Clark, etc.), so if you dedicate 1/2 hours a day to discovering new music, you can absorb my "little list" (I repeat, the same hj can give you even more names) in a few months.
- bluesboy94
  1 sep 16
  
  I know who Bill Fay is (Time of the last persecution would definitely make my top 100, you know), just like I know who Matt Elliott is (the "Songs" trilogy is beautiful in its darkness), the other two names I recognize, but they don't intrigue me (same goes for Tom Petty).
- SalvaDM
  1 sep 16
  
  Yes, some that I know haven't had a long career, and the same goes for me. Before university, which is finally about to come to an end xd, I only knew the most famous bands, mainly of the rock genre. Then I decided to broaden my horizons... there's not much to do, the university years make you swear, but they are also the most creative times.

  Anglo-American singer-songwriter music, to be precise, seems to me, on a musical level, secondary compared to the Italian scene, even though I admire Conte, Ciampi, De Andrè, Gaber, Fossati, the Bennato of the first ten years of his career, the Daniele of the first 7/8 years of his career, Dalla, Guccini, and, why not, Capossela. PS: De Gregori has always seemed overrated to me, while these days I am rediscovering R. Gaetano, and I find him more original than I previously thought.
- SalvaDM
  1 sep 16
  
  De Gregori is one of my favorites instead, can you believe it? As for the others, singer-songwriters like Gaber, De Andrè, and Battisti, to name a few, I don't consider them inferior to their Anglo-American counterparts.
- bluesboy94
  1 sep 16
  
  It must be said that as musicians, the three you mentioned are not worth half of Harper (from whom this discussion started, who is a remarkably skilled acoustic guitarist; just listen to "Blackpool" from his debut album); then again, in terms of lyric writing, De André was what he was, Gaber isn't a true musician, as he used music as a tool for other purposes, while I will refrain from judging Battisti.
- bluesboy94
  1 sep 16
  
  This was to reiterate how, on a more composition-related level, even the masters of our singer-songwriter school are inferior to the "foreigners"... it's the truth, not a "foreign-loving" opinion.
- SalvaDM
  1 sep 16
  
  I agree on everything, even if I'm not a big fan of discussions about technique.
  Now I'm curious to understand why you abstained on Battisti :P
- bluesboy94
  1 sep 16
  
  Battisti is not my cup of tea, straightforward; that doesn't mean I hate him, just to be clear...
- tonysoprano
  1 sep 16
  
  Strange that you haven't delved into Battisti.
- tonysoprano
  1 sep 16
  
  Oh no, I misunderstood. I love the music offered by Battisti...
- SalvaDM
  1 sep 16
  
  Anima Latina is one of my all-time favorite albums.
  Anyway, sorry Blues, I'm filling up your feed xd
- tonysoprano
  1 sep 16
  
  even if I know that undeniable wonder of Anima Latina.
- tonysoprano
  1 sep 16
  
  I only know
- tonysoprano
  1 sep 16
  
  Perhaps "AL" is my favorite Italian album from the little I know.
- bluesboy94
  1 sep 16
  
  I'm going to have dinner, with your permission XD...
  PS: @[tonysoprano] anyway, Niemen has a voice that sends chills down your spine from the very first listen, and that Americans would call a "gift from God."
- SalvaDM
  1 sep 16
  
  Well, there are many... 'Love and Non-Love' and in general the white period with Pasquale Panella as the lyricist is very interesting.
- SalvaDM
  1 sep 16
  
  I’m going out for dinner too xd
- tonysoprano
  1 sep 16
  
  Go ahead, it’s already. He has a powerful voice with a huge vocal range. Moreover, he is a very underrated composer... even though he has had a certain type of "depth," also because he interacted with Schulze. Not by chance, you know.
- tonysoprano
  1 sep 16
  
  Already had dinner, returning from Bologna, to get to know the environment better.
