And 14 could be Sonny Bono but it would seem too obvious.

Right on the Brothers – the only use of the word 'turbulent' in popular music.
Yeah, I managed not to quote anything that included the title :) . Bit more psych than Sonny

Signer-songwriter. Hmm, not a lot of those around I reckon. Is it something by Mr Tumble?

Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.
