Welcome

Welcome to the Music Loop!

Throughout my life I have always stumbled across great music, but almost without exception the music is from virtually unknown artists. At least, unknown on the national level. I have always shared the music with friends, family, and anyone who will listen to me preach the gospel of the unknown artist. I'm the artist's listener. I'm the artist's market. So are you. That's why you are here. You are here to find the music from that artist that you might have missed your entire life if it were not for this blog.

I can only shudder to think what my life would have been like without being introduced to artists like Steve Earle, Ryan Adams, John Prine, Matthew Ryan, Townes Van Zant, Lucinda Williams, Ani Difranco, or Patty Griffin. I can only imagine what it would have been like to drive home from a harsh breakup with a lover and have to listen to something other than Steve Earle's "My Old Friend the Blues" What would my reflection on war be without John Prine's "Sam Stone" or my enjoyment of the bar scene be without Ryan Adams "The Bar is a Beautiful Place" ? Life would surely be akin to seeing everything in black and white.

So I'm looking to share the music I discover with the rest of the world. Come discover some color with me :)
