Take Nora Jones, who silky voice comes from her dead, the Cittar legend Ravi Shankar, who hooked George Harrison on Indian sounds. Or Rufus Wainwright, son of Canadian folk queen Kate McGarregor, carrying that storytelling vibe forward. Then there's Jacob Collier, the young prodigy with a violinist mom, Susie Collier, who teaches at London's role academy. Nenna Cherry got her rap edge from jazz trumpeter Don Cherry, who jammed with cold train and ornette Coleman. These kids grew up surrounded by instruments and genius. Fans often miss these links, sparking debates on nepotism versus raw skill. But most agree, like with Ben Taylor, offspring of folk icons James Taylor and Carly Simon, or Carney and Wendy Wilson from Wilson Phillips, daughters. Of Beach Boys Brain, Brian Wilson, they've carved their own paths amid the shadows.
