Day 7

In this challenge, I'm staying with artists I've seen in concert until I run out. Here's a 9 time Grammy winner. I really liked her 2nd (self-titled) and 3rd albums (Globe Sessions). Here's a song from #2.

Love that song even if it is fabricated. I can relate it to a time in my life. You got my vote.

Freddie Mercury and Stephen Tyler came to mind first.

Interesting discussion.

By the way if you weren’t aware, Rufus Wainwright is the son of Kate McGarrigle who I just featured a few days ago.

I don’t know how anyone could not like this song. It’s so rock & roll.

I’m like your countdown. I’m a little familiar with her as the album β€œMay Your Kindness Remain” caught my attention years ago but I’ve never dug into some her other releases.

Day 6

I have to get one of my favorites in. 15 Grammys along with many other awards. Not sure which song but I'll go with this John Prine song. It is one of her most popular. She really sounds good in this later version.

Probably another con like the Board of Peace that taxpayers will need to give another $10 billion.

I'll stay in Canada for this 4-time Grammy winner, 6-time Juno winner plus many others. This performance was at the Grammys in 1993 when she won the Best Female Pop Performance for this song.

Day 4

Keeping with a folky sound, these 2 sisters from Canada have won multiple Juno awards. This song from their debut probably sounds familiar to many, it was written by Anna.

Day 3

A change of pace to a lesser known artist. Winner at the GLAAD Media Awards, International Folk Music Awards and UK Americana Music Association Awards.

This song is 20 years old but is even more relevant today.

I bought a copy and still have it. I’m not giving it up. I also have his second album too.

Agree. I love her voice. This song was on my list for last month’s sad songs but there weren’t enough days in February so I rolled it into March.

Loved that clip. I was thinking the same, he was singing and playing live. Midnight Special and Don Kirchner’s Rock Concert on Friday nights were required viewing in those days before MTV and music videos.

Day 2

Want awards? 27 Grammys (tied #5 all-time, #2 female) plus another 30+ others including 15 IBMA awards (bluegrass).

As for the song, it was either this one or "Ghost In This House" which I also recommend.

S. Gault, Unhinged (****): In form and content, Gault's third and best album nods to the heaviest parts of Lambert's landmark Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. If not up to that exact challenge-- who is?-- Gault acquits herself brilliantly on this lived-in set of ace covers (Buck Owens! In 2026!) and originals.
