Any performer that you think should be huge, but isn't?

Here are a few for me. After 10+ years in the biz for each of them, none is as big as I would have expected. Brendan Benson has gotten some acclaim as a member of The Raconteurs, but Jack White's participation helps attract the attention. In concert, Damien Jurado (who works in Seattle as a Kindergarten teacher) is breathtaking. Unfortunately, most of the YouTube videos are of poor audio quality. Enjoy!

Brendan Benson:



Jason Faulkner (How freaking great is this song?). He's also done two Beatles lullaby albums--one pink, one blue--that are amazing:



And one of my favorite singers of all time, Damien Jurado (from his latest):

ME! I did two comercials about 10 years ago.... Can't understand why I never made it to the big time as an actor ... Probably because the products were lousy

Those guys are great. I've seen some fantastic clips with Tony Levin.

Robert Cray is a good one, Jimbits. Makes me scratch my head as well. He's so impressive.

Paul...keep going, buddy.

Derek Trucks...He's big amongst musicians, but not very well known. Probably better off that he dosent become mainstream.



as a teenager, 14 or 15 I think
