Rod Johnson Ann Arbor, Michigan
Singer, songwriter, not really a singer-songwriter though. Just trying to make something good.
Rod Johnson recommends:
Blue Jay
by The Mysteries of Life
I have loved these guys for a long time and I'm happy they're still/again making records. There's something mysterious (ha) and warm and subtly funky about all their records.

Big, brave, atmospheric orchestral rock, like something out of the deep past and the future simultaneously. I'm a linguist and it thrills me to hear materials like Caedmon's Hymn treated with respect.
