That is some good shit. Song 1 and Song 3 are right up my alley. Song 2 is good but I didn't connect immediately, if that makes sense. Something about a guitar or piano and a person is pure acoustic magic. Thanks - I'll be adding to a playlist.
Listened to 2 Ray L. songs - not bad but didn't grab me. Still haven't listened to Hozier.
Keep it Loose Keep it Tight is one of my favourites by Amos, here's an acoustic version. His studio recordings are minimalist, but I still prefer just him and a guitar. https://youtu.be/ZK6Dg6zeuvc
I just sampled some of the Hozier stuff. Yuck. I don’t really feel like singer/songwriter is what I’d call him.
What would you call him?
Hozier calls himself "Doom Soul", but he's usually smiling when he says it. He's very blues-based obviously and big on harmonies, which may both make him not the typical "singer-songwriter".
I'm cool with whatever people call him. His songwriting and his voice are extraordinary.

Doom Soul, I like that.
Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm for Hozier with us. I have enjoyed learning new things about him!
Has anyone ever gone to Pandora and only added stations of bands/solo artists you didn't particularly like and hit shuffle? I'm doing that right now. I'll let you guys know how it goes.
Yeah, turns out that wasn't such a great experiment after all. Why did you guys let me do that?

Most times it's best if one learns for themselves.
Have I already said Joseph Arthur in this thread? If so, it deserves to be said again. Joseph Arthur. One of my all-time faves. There is just so much feeling in everything he does.

No you haven't. I'll add it to my list - so many artists that I am just discovering.
Lots of good artists mentioned here. I’ll echo the Josh
Ritter nod. His recent work is very good. Excellent live act. My favorites are
The Animal Years (2006), So Runs The World Away (2010), The Beast In Its Tracks
(2013). New album to drop sometime next year.

I’d also suggest Josh Ritter and Colter Wall.

Shawn Mendes.
Nah, they aren't horrible but they write empty pop songs mostly devoid of anything deeper than surface sentimentality.
