I am wondering if there is other artist who’s work you believe is similar in some way to Mikes.
I am currently listening to a guy called Nick Drake, I watched a documentary on this UK born Musician recently on SBS here in Australia, I went out the next day and bought one of his albums (Five Leaves Left).
Does anyone else here have any of Nick's work
He reminds me of Mike's style although I can't really put my finger on it. Sort of folksy, understated yet musicianship is exceptional and jumps out at me, Nick seemed to suffer in the same way that Mike did at least in his early days from shyness and a feeling of not being good enough, but most of all they are both very introspective.
I think this inward looking nature of Nicks created some great lyrics and music but among other things was Nicks down fall, as he led a troubled life that ended when he committed suicide.
It's seeing talent like this seemingly wasted, cut short before reaching it’s full potential or in fact being recognised publicly, it makes me happy that Mike lives on and still shares his gift with us.
If you have not heard any of Nick's work I'd recommend giving it a listen.
So, is there anyone that you think compares artistically in anyway to Mike.
