Sam Roberts - Although been in the public's eye for a decade now.. his contributions thus far have been great! He's a Canadian artist with band. Their sound is often familiar with 70's rock and roll flair intertwined with the spirit and mind provocation of this age. And I would dispute his rock and roll is real fun and at times nurturing. Nothing real lengthy or intriciate but just old fashioned rock and roll with love, wit and spirit.
Rick Brantley - Also a young artist. His rock and roll is in his lyric and delivery. His lyrics real live up to their song titles. He paints a real good picture of what he is saying and can deliver it with big sound, or simply acoustic guitar. I really haven't heard a lot from Brantley's catalogue. But his "I Don't Believe In Love" and his work with Meat Loaf I believe is reason enough to be a nominated. No filler lyrics, just wise & youthful rock and roll.
I could really write an essay on each of these two fellas, but I'll be brief :)
