Where's Alejandro?
Best in Austin or best of TX? That should eliminate Minor & Future Clouds... can Sorta really measure up?
It's actually my Top 5, not necessarily "the best," which is very subjective anyway.
But, I am interested in others' opinions. That's why I put it out here.
of the ones on your list the ones my ipod says i've listed to the most are Carrie Rodriguez & Alejandro Escovedo. saw both live this year too. both are at the top of their game. wish i could have caught one of the shows they did together.
the steps and electric touch should definitely make the final cut without a doubt!
