I'm running a special today--one free recommendation with any request for five!
Here's my contribution--I enjoy just about the entire catalog of all these artists and have made some recommendations for specific albums. Although all don't tend to be considered "rock" first, they either have rock roots, or on these albums lean into rock/pop vs. their traditional niche (jazz, blues, folk, etc). In other words, there's some diversity of style on each album, song to song and the do a nice job of showcasing each artist's range.
1. Holly Cole--Romantically Helpless or Don't Smoke in Bed
2. Keb' Mo--Just Like You
3. Mark Knopfler--Shangri La
4. Steve Forbert--The American in Me
5. George Harrison--Brainwashed (last album--posthumous release)
6. Shawn Mullins--Beneath the Velvet Sun
Great idea for a thread, by the way!
