Does Stevie influence other music you buy?

[Mokona]

This is interesting - I find the more I listen to Stevie and learn about her music, the more I'm branching out into other bands. I bought a Tom Petty CD today, have a new interest in Bonnie Raitt since "Circle Dance," and now I'm going to purchase an LZ album after she's been covering their song.

So it looks like Stevie has really introduced me to a lot of good music out there, aside from her own work, because if you asked me two years ago if I had any interest in the above acts (except Bonnie Raitt - I liked a few of her songs), I would've shrunk in horror, thinking they were old people's music - no offense!

What about you? Has she had the same affect?

PS...how great would a Bonnie Raitt/Stevie tour be? I'd love to see those two together!
