Singer Songwriters

We tried to find the finest singer-songwriters because that's what we were, and it was easy finding the artists because we were successful--everybody who played guitar came through our offices at one time or another. ❋ Mike Ragogna (2011)

Mike Ragogna: Brett, rumor has it you're one of the best singer-songwriters out there. ❋ Mike Ragogna (2011)

David Yaffe seems to recognize this distinction, but no sooner has he situated Mr. Dylan squarely in "the canon of singer-songwriters" than he holds him up as the equal of Ginsberg and likens him to John Keats, Elizabeth Bishop and William Blake. ❋ David Yezzi (2011)

L: Musically i'm influenced by a wide variety of genres, from trad jazz, to '60s pop, to singer-songwriters like Fiona Apple, to experimental pop artists like Bjork. ❋ Mike Ragogna (2011)

The canyons of Hollywood -- Nichols, Laurel, and Beachwood -- were still smoldering with hippie Hollywood stoner brush fires set by a young generation of singer-songwriters, porn stars, and comedians, all co-mingling in hot tubs filled with cocaine, weed, and sex. ❋ Shawn Amos (2011)

Thirty-nine years ago, Rodney Crowell left Houston for Nashville to become a songwriter, joining compadres Guy Clark, John Hiatt and Townes Van Zandt in their transformation of what Nashville songwriters, and singer-songwriters in particular, might aspire to be and to do. ❋ Barry Mazor (2011)

The [Depeche Mode] lead singer/co-songwriter is [Dave Gahan]. [Martin L. Gore] is also equally talented because he is also in Depeche Mode. He is DM's lead songwriter and co-singer. That's why I love Depeche Mode a lot. ❋ Stella Luna (2006)
