After recording three critically acclaimed albums before he was 21, this guy turned down offers to join Bowie, the Stones, Blood Sweat & Tears and Quincy Jones because he wanted to make his own music. One of his first sessions at 15 was with Frank Zappa, and Zappa called him one of his heroes and personal influences.

1953 Shuggie Otis

Great find. When I leave guys like this open, it's not a dis. I just know you will be able to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Honestly, I only kind of liked DF before seeing their acoustic clips. Armageddon It never fails to slay me after hundreds of plays. Similarly, I couldn't stand KISS until a few singles beginning w/ the Dynasty LP, but their acoustic show has a lot of great stuff. Still kills me to say great and KISS in the same paragraph....

I'm sure I heard some of their stuff on the radio, but I couldn't pick out a kiss song if my life depended on it. I have bought CD collections in the past, so have a good many DL CD's but never really listened to them other than the radio. {but then I have 1.5K CD's and the same 6 have been in my office player for the longest time}
