Alison Krauss

Rounder Records signed Alison Krauss as an artist when she was 14 years old, after gaining attention for her skill as a vocalist and instrumentailist. In the years in between, she has taken home 26 Grammy awards, more than any other woman in history. After launching her recording career with the 1987 album, Too Late to Cry, Krauss introduced her band, Union Station, on the 1989 release Two Highways. She joined the Grand Ole Opry in 1993 at the age of 21. Her Grammy-winning collaboration with EverGreen writer Sidney Cox remains some of the finest work of her career.

She is currently unpublished but judging by the buzz amongst the publishers, she won't be for long.

Bruce Fisher

Best known for his collaborations with Billy Preston, Bruce Fisher penned one of the most memorable, most recorded songs in music history with You Are So Beautiful which was famously performed by Joe Cocker. Artists as diverse as Kenny Rogers, The Beach Boys, Pavarotti, Engelbert Humperdinck, and Babyface have all recorded their own renditions of this timeless classic.

Working with film composer Christian Henson, Caroline has woven a mellifluous blend of sharp, lovelorn lyrics and scintillating vocals, all set to a bracingly original backing of organs and banjos, trumpets and cellos, xylophones and drums to create what will certainly be one of the most daring, innovative and utterly infectious albums of 2010.

Catie Curtis

Catie Curtis began her music career behind a drum kit, but found her greatest success as an empowering singer-songwriter on the acoustic guitar. Born and raised in the small town of Saco, Maine, Curtis attended Brown University where she became an integral part of the socially aware coffeehouse circuit.

She has released ten albums in her illustrious career, featuring such tracks as Gave Me Love (Don't Give Up) and The Kiss That Counted, and her music has been featured in numerous television programs including Dawson's Creek, Felicity, and Alias.

Eric Clapton

Eric Clapton is the only person in history to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times, and rightfully so. His work with the Yardbirds, Blind Faith, Cream, Derek and the Dominoes, and as a solo artist is the stuff of rock legend, and he is regarded as one of the finest electric guitarists who ever lived (ranked fourth in Rolling Stone’s list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of all Time). His timeless body of work from his many formations through the years includes such classics as Sunshine of Your Love, Layla, Tears in Heaven, Change the World, and Cocaine (originally written by J.J. Cale) which is still one of his most enduringly popular hits. “Slowhand” is currently on tour this year with Steve Winwood (his former bandmate in Blind Faith), a show that classic rock fans should not miss.

Fairport Convention

The best British folk-rock band of the late '60s, Fairport Convention did more than any other act to develop a truly British variation on the folk-rock prototype by drawing upon traditional material and styles indigenous to the British Isles. While the revved-up renditions of traditional British folk tunes drew the most critical attention, the group members were also talented songwriters as well as interpreters. They were comfortable with conventional harmony-based folk-rock as well as tunes that drew upon more explicitly traditional sources, and boasted some of the best singers and instrumentalists of the day.

Grand Funk Railroad

One of the 1970s' most underrated hard rock bands, Grand Funk Railroad built a devoted fan base with constant touring, a loud, simple take on the blues-rock power trio sound, and strong working-class appeal. The group had 20 singles in the Billboard Top 100 and went on to sell over 25 million records. The band was formed by Flint, MI, guitarist/songwriter Mark Farner and drummer Don Brewer, both former members of a local band called Terry Knight & the Pack. They recruited former ? & the Mysterians bassist Mel Schacher in 1968, and Knight retired from performing to become their manager, naming the group after Michigan's well-known Grand Trunk Railroad. 

J.J. Cale

Known for his laid-back, rootsy style, J.J. Cale's distinctly loping sense of rhythm and shuffling boogie became the blueprint for the adult-oriented roots-rock of Mark Knopfler and Eric Clapton, who has long performed many of Cale's songs. His songs from the late 1960s through the present day have an underlying poignancy prevalent in the blues/rock genre of music, and include the high profile hits Cocaine, Travelin' Light, I Got The Same Old Blues, Cajun Moon, and Sensitive Kind among others. In 2006, Cale teamed up with Eric Clapton on a new album, Road to Escondido.

Jane Said

In late 2008 Paula Jane Winger, under the name Jane Said, began writing and recording her debut album In Spite of Herself. The album has been met with a lot of adoration due to the eclectic blend of lilting pop melodies, playful rhythms, witty wordplay and sweet but street smart vocals. In the process of writing her album Winger was met with many offers for production but finally made the decision to produce herself with the intention of getting a sound that was truly her own to unfold in the process. Tom Biller recording/mix engineer for artists such as Fiona Apple, Kanye West, Sean Lennon and Silversun Pickups put the finishing touches on the album in L.A.

John Martyn

Beginning in the late 1960s, Scottish musician John Martyn's music melded the traditional sounds of his country and eclectic folk with influences of American blues artists such as Robert Johnson and Skip James. Coupling his guitar with various electronic devices and effects such as the Fuzzbox, Phaseshifter and Echoplex, he sculpted sounds that pushed the envelope of current musical genres. In 30 years as one of Britain's most imaginative songwriters, Martyn's work met with great critical acclaim and earned him a steady following of fans. Several of his songs were recorded by top artists, including his easy-going ballad May You Never (Eric Clapton), Head and Heart (America) and I Don't Want To Know About Evil (Dr. John).

Josh Rouse

The pair recorded the classic, I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight in 1974.

The late Sandy Denny remains the pre-eminent British folk-rock singer. In addition to recording several albums of her own, Denny was an integral force behind the best work of the most respected British folk-rock band of all, Fairport Convention, and also contributed mightily to recordings by the Strawbs and Fotheringay. It's impossible for words to fully evoke the haunting, spectral presence of her powerful and penetrating alto voice, which seemed to bring the mythology of English moors and folktales to life in contemporary, 20th century settings.

With hits including Semi-Charmed Life, Jumper, and Graduate, Third Eye Blind immediately proved they were no one hit wonder. The band received worldwide popularity with their catchy choruses and sing-a-long melodies, and they went on to release two follow-up albums: Blue (1999) and Out Of The Vein (2003).
