You can also take credit for Jerry Jeff Walker. While originally from Onieda, NY, he made his mark musically once he migrated to TX. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also Ben Kweller, Secret Machines, Don Henley, Lyle Lovett, Reverend Horton Heat, Steve Miller, Michelle Shocked, Lucinda Williams, Old 97's, American Analog Set, Edie Brickell, Eisley, Okkervil River ... freakin' Beyonce Knowles and Kelly Clarkson for cryin' out loud!

kathyp Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Favorite band from my town: Uncle TupeloFrom my state: Wilco I'm glad I didn't have to answer this question nine months ago, when I still lived in Missouri. I guess the obvious one there would be Chuck Berry. I loved The Rainmakers from Kansas City back in the day. And, of course, The Bottlerockets. They all pale in comparison to the true musical genius that came from Missouri. I give you ... The Ozark Mountain Daredevils! I couldn't come up with many either. (Nelly?) Gene Clark (b. Tipton, MO)NadineSon Volt (this counts, right?)Fontella BassGet Up Kids (shut up. I used to like these guys.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markosis Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 The Misfits Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. I know there's more good artists from Jersey that haven't been mentioned. There has to be. And, none of you Chi-town folks mention Curtis Mayfield? Shame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
