[Texas Songwriter]

I think one of the best contemporary writers (and artist) is Skip Ewing.

Others I admire in country music would be Alan Jackson, Dean Dillan. I think Toby Keith is an excellent writer (with his writing partner).

I have always liked Paul Simon and Jimmy Webb (McArthur Park), and John Denver. I think Michael W. Smith is an excellent writer. In the old days I think there were few as good as Neil Diamond. There are so many I am sure I am leaving many off of the list.

Now, Texas songwriters I enjoy and believe are excellent writers are Delbert McClinton, Robert Earl Keen, Don Henley. Henley lives about 75 miles from me. in northeast Texas.

Thanks!

Spent some time in Dallas years ago and worked some festivals in college that featured several Texan singer/songwriters: Joe Ely, Guy Clark, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Butch Hancock all come to mind from those days and still listen to them all.

Agree on Delbert (saw him at Slims w/Joe Ely). Lot od good music there!

Yup Delbert is one of the best. FWIW, he taught John Lennon to play harmonica.

BTW, where can I here some of your songs?
