Best music being written right at this point is by this young (26) woman from Virginia (who has way too much ink IMO and she mentions it in one of her songs.) Her latest collection of songs is "Reckless." The track "Wilder Days" caused quite a bit of stir, she performed it on CBS and some other TV. These tracks from The Blackbird Studio sessions are being released little by little:
