I'd take Biggie back over Pac ANY DAY. No argument.

Fuck that's some good music...never heard of him before, thanks for posting!!I've always liked Slaid Cleaves, but for whatever reason he's been on ultra-frequent rotation in my playlist the last month or so.
One of the great songwriters working imo and another chapter in the depressingly persuasive argument that there is no justice whatsoever in fame and success when it comes to art. That country music hasn't snatched him up and made him today's Merle Haggard is a completely travesty.

That spot's taken. Today's Merle Haggard is almost certainly James McMurtry. Definitely is, for me.
(Oddball experience of the day: You can start two or three of your Cleaves links playing at a time. With headphones on, I suspect one could drive one's self stark raving made trying to track one of them through the cacophony....)
.... Or maybe a triple bill with Ray Wylie Hubbard....
I have a couple Andy McKee albums and an Antoine Dufour album that I listen to now and then. Andy looks to be about half the size he was when I first heard of him. These are the first two videos I ever saw of his...Currently a chill fingerstyle guitar mix with Andy McKee, Preston Reed, Antoine Dufour, Kaki King:
