If i've just discovered i like Nina Simone, Bob Dylan, Mama Cass and Janis Joplin, what other artists would you recommend i try listening to?

[MrsLadyBug]

Try listening to some of Leonard Cohen. He is a brilliant songwriter but like Dylan doesn't have a great voice.
I have just been introduced to a blues/soul singer from the 50's who has a fantastic voice, Carla Thomas. She's the one who sings on the new comfort ad. I believe some of her tracks can be downloaded from somewhere but don't know where. I dont have broadband so cant do that. You probably know a few sites already

That was what I listened to in the 60's I also liked Tim Crowe and Leonard Cohen

[Mortartube]

Try Donovan, he was touted as the British Bob Dylan, also Joss Stone has been compared with Janis Joplin by some.

jefferson airplane.

[chocice]

An album called "Trouble" by Ray LaMontagne

"Surfacing" by Sarah McLachlan

[The Big Gill]

I'd suggest Etta James, and Irma Thomas.

If you like Nina, then you may like some of the older lady jazz singers - Aretha Franklin, Lena Horne etc.

[helliebobs]

Jeff and Tim Buckley, and Nick Drake.
