About Jeff Buckley's You And I, Suzanne Vega and More: Chatting with Steve Addabbo, Plus Bob Hillman's "Big Sur," and Exclusives from Sara Niemietz, Typhoid Rosie, Erica Glyn and The Looking

BOB HILLMAN'S "BIG SUR" How the freewheelin' Bob Hillman stayed under the radar this long is a head scratcher. He'd say, "I really love your dad's stuff," and Jeff would kind of look like he didn't really have much to say about that. and it's like, "Well great, but it's not the same song, it's not the same tempo and it doesn't work." To put yourself out there as a singer-songwriter is a very scary thing to do, and I think over time it was like, "All right, you spent a lot of time critiquing and making suggestions on other people's stuff, step up to the microphone and do it yourself, big shot." We wrote this song called "Get Up" which was one of NPR's most-played last year, we got on the year-end list.
