Usually when I adore a musician, I instinctively hate their imitators, out of loyalty and a desire for originality. But when singer-songwriters come along and remind me of Elliott Smith, I swoon. It’s not like he invented acoustic guitars and poignant lyrics, but he was certainly one of a kind, and I can’t blame other musicians for following in his footsteps. If I made music, I would probably try to sound like him, too.
