Song of the Day 8/10/19 (Saturday Summer Song Series) John Hiatt “Drive South”
Few songs Say let’s hit the road and get away like this one.
Song of the Day 8/9/19 Revivalists “Oh No”
I’ve seen some pretty good live shows in the last five years. When these guys put on last night was one of the best ones I’ve seen. This song was one of the highlights.
Song of the Day (Saturday Summer Song Series) 8/3/19 Michael Franti and Spearhead “The Sound of Sunshine “
A couple of his songs have been overused in cruise line TV commercials but this is a really catchy song with a great summer feel.
Song of the Day (TBT) 7/25/19 Bob Seger “Night Moves”
What Bruce was to New Jersey in the 70s, Bob Seger was to Detroit and the Midwest. Still one of the best songs from the 1970s
Song of the Day 7/21/19 Brittany Howard “Stay High”
Brittany Howard has one of the best and most distinctive voices in music today. This is the second single from her first solo album. The Alabama Shakes frontwoman has outdone herself in this one and this video absolutely nails it.
Song of the Day (Saturday Summer Song Series) The Eagles “Take it Easy”
No summer song list would ever be complete for me without this song.
Song of the Day (TBT) 7/18/19 Gin Blossoms “Hey Jealousy “
Paul’s choice of the great Matthew Sweet song “Girlfriend“ put me in mind of the early 90s and what I was listening to then. This band spent a lot of time in my CD player in the early to mid 90s. While grunge was taking off these guys were more like a throwback to 80s “jangle rock”.
Song of the Day 7/14/19 Jeremiah Tall “Time”
Couple weeks ago I went to see the smithereens. They did not disappoint. Loved the concert. One of the revelations though was the opening act, Jeremiah Tall. He played banjo, guitar and drums with a company asked who played bass and on one song, a chain (you’d have to see it to believe it). Really cool interesting music. Here’s one of my favorite songs from his short set.
Song of the Day 7/13/19 (Saturday Summer Song Series) Wild Feathers “The Ceiling”
Like last week’s song in the series, for me, this song is both a road song and a summer song.
The Wild Feathers have dominated my song playlist for the past 4 summers .
