Yes. Wherever possible.
I would have to say that it's the songs, rather than the artists, that have always been my major influences, regardless of the era a particular song may have come from. As far as the songwriters who have had the most influential songs: Lennon and McCartney(not necessarily in that order), Neil Diamond, Cat Stevens, Dolly Parton, Randy Newman, Neil Diamond, Don Henley, Brian Setzer, and Shania Twain all top the list. I would have to put Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, The Gershwins, Hank Williams, and Kris Kristoffersen somewhere on my list of influences as well.
Primarily accoustic guitar, keyboards, and vox. I record guitar and vox in the studio, and all the keyboard work I do at home. Mixing/mastering are performed in the studio, of course.
Soundclick is an exciting forum for indies. I love nothing better than discovering new music from artists who are as good (or better) than the ones in the limelight. What a great time to be alive!!!!!
