Some songs can be indelibly linked to a specific moment . For me, Vienna goes back to a Sunday morning when I was about 14. I was delivering news papers early on a mild fall Sunday morning and I could hear this song quietly coming from an open upstairs window as I dropped the newspaper on my neighbor’s front porch. Vienna will always be a Sunday morning song to me.
I heard this song yesterday and all of a sudden it was like I was back in 11th grade again (minus the bad haircut and acne), sitting at a stop light, bobbing my my head and playing air guitar in the front seat while the kids in the minivan next to me looked at me like I was nuts. I’ve now listened to the song about 15 times in the last 24 hours.
in honor of their album of the year award by the Americana music awards……
For a period of time in high school, The Guess Who’s Greatest Hits lived in my cassette player. This one brings back memories
One of my favorite unappreciated songs from an underrated album.
Great song by this San Antonio native whose music has skirted rock , punk , alt-country with Mexican and jazz influences
If I closed my eyes and pointed at a random song from a list of Warren Zevon songs, I couldn’t choose poorly. Here’s one for a rainy Monday.
I forget sometimes how much great music REM made. This is an under the radar favorite of mine. Love the imagery in this song
Bit of a Springsteenesqe Quality to this singer. His question at the beginning of the song “is anyone out there alive?” Seems to be a nod to The Boss
Something about southern rock…..
