Albums in Modern Singer-Songwriters
Various Artists
(continued)
Description
Most modern singer-songwriters owe some debt to Bob Dylan and his visionary approach to music. Artists like Tom Waits and Beck freely adopt different styles and approaches to match moods that range from quiet to quirky, choosing anything from the unadorned accompaniment of an acoustic guitar or piano to electronics and experimental studio tricks. Keeping the folk tradition alive, singer-songwriters like Ani DiFranco and Ben Harper perform music with deeply personal lyrics and political and social commentary. Today's singer-songwriters are rarely content to focus on a single style of music and offer listeners a broad palette of emotions and textures.
