Don't know if you have heard of a performer named Mike Cross. Essentially came out of the same musical scene/area as James Taylor. Just never made it as big as JT but equally talented, perhaps more.


I've never seen JT live, but I have seen Mike and my band even played a show with him where he headlined a Bluegrass/country music festival.

He uses no backing tracks when I saw him play live. I walked in to the first show and all that was on the stage was an acoustic guitar and a fiddle and a mic setup. He did the entire show with nothing but his voice and those 2 instruments. Amazingly good show.

He does use live pickers on stage at times.


Search him on youtube.
