Check out Lee Moses singing California Dreaming, it'll get your attention.

Glad you liked it!!

Enya is truly classic!

I've stumbled across a few of her songs in this search, but I'll look more deeply into her stuff, as yes it is very close!

A very surreal sound, I definitely enjoy it!

Jazz giants Hank Monkey, Art Blakely, Horace Silver, Donald Byrd, Charles Mingus, Bud Powell, Sonny Rollins....

Not well known nationally but look into Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five and the Carolina Cotton Pickers. Both groups were popular on the Chitlin' Circuit and are well worth noting in any history of black music.

Not that I have found. Over time, i have had all versions (free, plus, and premium) and the trick has worked for me. Btw. Spotify sucks ass. Last I've checked, you can't listen offline without paying ungodly amounts. Plus,you might still get ads.

Sister Rosetta Tharp

I should ask this - is there a large difference between Plus and Premium for offline listening? Is my issue that I have Plus not premium?

didn't finish my comment. If it's a playlist because I know pandora's sneaky with those things, you may, if you try hard enough, be able to listen to online stations while offline.

Ok. I used to have this same problem where it would do that. Just thumbs down the songs that keep looping, and after a while, it will eventually function like a normal station. However, if it's a playlist,

Bessie Smith, Sarah Vaughn, Lee Fields. Sharon Jones and the Dapkings are more modern but always worth a listen. Her duet with Lee Fields, "Stranded in Your Love" is awesome.

I love Dinah Washington! Her versions of "What A Difference A Day Makes" and "Teach Me Tonight" are my favorites.

I haven’t seen anyone mention Mississippi John Hurt or Rev. Gary Davis yet. Most of the fingerpicking guitar style that found its way into folk, rock and country is a direct result of those two teaching their playing style to the Folk Revival crowd in the 60s.
