Who is your favorite second generation singer/musician?

[Norbert]

I guess it is wide open: Natalie Cole, Jeff Buckley, Nancy Sinatra, Jacob Dylan, Julian Lennon, Lisa Marie Presley (okay maybe that one is a stretch). Whoever you can think of.


I actually like Jake Dylan myself but I know that are some out there I heven't thought of.

1. Arlo Guthrie.....a great live performer

2. Good choice...

for me it is probably either Ivan Neville or A.J. Croce. Ivan is quickly becoming as good as his dad on the Hammond B. I saw him play a few months ago and he is pumping out some serious funk these days.

The first time I heard A.J. Croce, I thought it was his Dad. The voices are almost identical. A.J. just happens to be a damn good painist to boot.

3. Elvis Costello

His dad, Ross McManus was a professional singer, with the Joe Loss Orchestra from 1955 to 1969. Continued with solo career. Had hit single with 'Patsy Girl' in Germany in 1969, released LP 'Day Costello Sings Elvis Presley's Greatest Hits'

4. I thought of one. Bonnie Raitt

Her dad, John Raitt was a great singer on Broadway. How could I have missed it?

I completely forgot about Elvis Costello and his musical father.
Arlo Guthrie another excellent musician.

5. M (Matthieu Chedid)

His father Louis Chedid was pretty famous back in the day, I guess.

Nina, his sister, also had a singing career.

7. Natalie Cole

Because Nat King Cole is my favorite singer of all time. The apple didn't fall far from THAT tree....

8. Elisa Gilkyson

I can't forget about her. She is the proud daughter of fifties folk singer Terry Gilkyson. Remember (All day all night) "Marianne"?

9. Ben Taylor oh HELL yeah!

Has his dad's (James Taylor's) basic timbre and tone, backed up by his mom's (Carly Simon's :loveya: ) power, control and finesse. Why this kid ain't a star just beats the hell out of me!

10. I'll go with Jakob Dylan

I'm a big Wallflowers fan. Someone who gets overlooked a lot is Shana Morrison. Sometimes Lisa Marie's voice gives me delight because on her voice reminding me of Elvis's voice. Lisa's album isn't bad, but I expected better.

It's possible I'm missing someone.
