Delta Rae might sound like the down-home name of a backwoods country singer but it’s really just Greek to Brittany Holljes.
“I think there are a lot of ‘Delta’ bands out there, too, so we kind of get that ... people get confused,” said Holljes, the whip-smart singer of the North Carolina-based sextet (like Deborah Harry used to say about Blondie, Delta Rae is a group). “And I completely…

Professionally known as Lissie, Elisabeth Corrin Maurus identifies with another one-word pop-culture phenomenon not named Madonna, Beyonce or Pink.
The rock-pop singer-songwriter who was raised in the Midwest still has googly eyes for Annie, the spunky fictional character she played as a precocious 10-year-old at Circa ’21 Dinner Playhouse in her hometown of Rock Island, Illinois.

Ryan Bingham might look, act and talk like a cowboy, and maybe that’s where his crazy heart ultimately lies. But there’s more to the singer-songwriter’s backstory than the scratchy voice he can raise to eardrum-splitting levels and the hardscrabble past that’s impossible to forget.
The 32-year-old musician with a sense of adventure has a Los Angeles zip code (along with Hollywood-handsome movie star looks and an Academy Award to go with it).…

Bruce Springsteen and Mark Knopfler have influenced tons of artists over the years, but a sweet-sounding soprano who’s co-founder of the charming Canadian trinity known as the Wailin’ Jennys wouldn’t be the first to come to mind.
Ruth Moody, who possibly possesses the prettiest voice in all of North…

Jason Isbell doesn’t mince words while discussing his battle with the bottle.
“Man, I’m an alcoholic,” the Alabama singer-songwriter said of his addiction that involved a dangerously close friendship with Mr. Jack Daniel’s. “So I drank all the time. I used to think I didn’t drink in the morning, but my wife pointed out to me that I didn’t usually wake up in the morning.”
Isbell laughed, yet knows there’s nothing funny about…

My name is Steve Hatch and I’m currently conducting research for my Master’s in Songwriting at Bath Spa University in Bath, England (though I happen to be an ex-pat Georgia boy). I would be extremely grateful if you could find the time to listen to the track (link below) and answer the 2 accompanying questions. The more detail, the better of course (more to say in my final analysis) – but all feedback will be useful and very much appreciated.
Sadly, as this is an academic pursuit, there is a deadline. Please reply by May 20th if at all possible so that I can have time to chew over your response and include it in my final write-up.
The track: http://soundcloud.com/stevehatch
1) Which artist/band(s) would you say the track is most similar to and why?
2) Which genre(s) would you say the track belongs to and why?
Johnny Hickman said… Always good to connect with like minded music lovers in Colorado Michael. If you are free on March 11th and think you might enjoy some all original, alt / outlaw style country music, the Hickman Dalton Gang ( Jim Dalton of The Railbenders and me) are playing at Road 34 Bike Shop and bar in Fort Collins. Until now we have been an acoustic duo and this will be our first show with a full band! I noticed you have also written about Carrie Rodriguez.....Jim Dalton and I opened for Carrie at The Soiled Dove Underground a while back. We are definitely moving in the same circles here! Cheers, Johnny
