!!! - "Myth Takes" -- the incredibly talented Gerard Fuchs, drummer for !!!, Maserati and Turing Machine, died in November when he fell down an elevator shaft.

Utah Phillips... Maybe something off of 'The Past Didn't go Anywhere' (how fitting)

I second from above Allyson's Koko Taylor. But I would prefer "I Got What it Takes". Her vocals on that song matches its lyrics...."I got the same thing that makes a bulldog break it's chain'. Now that was a woman!!

anything from jeff hanson

John Cephas (March 2009) was the most prominent purveyor of the Piedmont style of blues. "Action Man" would be a good selection.

Definitely "she's like the wind."

Isecond the cramps and suggest an international artist Nacho Vega frontman of legendary spanish band Nacha Pop n collaborator with many other musicians. Death does not have to be so sad jeeez

Anything by Vic Chesnutt

Don't forget the unfortunate passing of 28 year old drummer "The Rev" of Orange County Metalcore band Avenged Sevenfold. He died on Monday night.
