[dar-list] The Next Dar?

[Shawn Proctor]

In thinking about this, you're right-it's an unfair question.  Dar Williams certainly can be an influence to newer musicians, but (like Bob Dylan) labeling artists as imitations of her is (at best) inaccurate.

Yet I now have a list of 8 musicians who I have never heard of and can check out based on your recommendations. I am truly thankful for that!

Also, for anyone who plans to attend the Philly Folk Fest, they just released the preliminary line up.  My must-see of the current list is Steve Earle.

Excuse me, but I have a whole lot of new music to go listen to.  Thanks again everyone!

although I'm not sure I agree with the question--after all, I don't really want or need another Dar--I would recommend Deb Talan (she has been mentioned as half of The Weepies) and Meg Hutchinson as other singers that Dar-lovers might appreciate.  Totally agree with the previously mentioned Kris Delmhorst.
Brilliant.
