Can't speak about Kinney, but Graham and Hendrix are Austinites that I'm
familiar with. Jon Dee can have his off nights and I can understand how his
vocals might seem a bit gruff to the uninitiated. His records and songs are
wonderful, his vocals might take some getting used to. Hendrix is another
thing altogether. Her brand of bland folk-pop has attracted quite a
following locally. I've seen her perform a few times and wondered what I
was missing, especially since everyone around me seemed starry eyed in her
presence and just a little overenthusiastic about what was happening on
stage. Then just gave up as she "wasn't my cup of tea." Strangely this is
the same reaction I had with Shawn Colvin and D*r Willi*ms, the first
couple of times I saw them. Not an unfair comparison, IMO.
