Comment:
No real rhyme or reason to this, just something I felt like assembling, and it flows rather nicely. Had to make a fair number of cuts (i.e. Jeff Buckley, Elvis Costello, Paul Westerberg, Kristin Hersh), as I wanted to keep it to a single disc. May need to add a second volume down the road. The first (and likely last) appearance of Elton John on one of my mixes, an artist I've never cared for but I love that one song.
Feedback:
You had me 'til Rocket Man. Nice, though.
I'm somewhat susceptible to the sappy but satisfying sensitive stuff, so I might sing along w/ all but one of these.
I'm puzzled though, why you left out Mr. Sensitive himself (Tim Buckley)?

Go for the 2nd disc & I'll forgive ya fer Monsieur John!
I'm a sucker for the sad and sappy m'self, Killer cover too.
one of my favorite types of music has always been melancholy-driven singer-songwriter stuff, so i'm really digging this. great elliott smith, elton john, neil young, bright eyes, harry nilsson & one of my all-time favorite closing tracks to an album with the dylan pick.
this is nice. i've always loved that s vega song - her first album will always be a strong memory for me (as it was the fave album of my then-girlfriend; draw your own conclusions...). nice to see epic here, too. and elton, of course - that was big of you.
This is really lovely - seems like quite a few people on here share your penchant for signer-songwriter stuff, myself included! Nice Ben Folds and Leonard Cohen choices, in particular.
Lovely stuff.Go for volume 2.
Great stuff. And the closer is just brilliant pop...
Looks really nice! great cover too.
This is a wonderful collection of singer/songwriter stuff. Hmmm... the title of this mix would also be a very apt description of an Elton John single artist compilation. An artist who, for a few years at least, created some brilliant pop.
Looks like it flows great. nice job.
Amazing genre, well represented here
I like a lot of this stuff, including the Elton John song (nothing wrong with Elton from '70-'75).
