Song of the Day 2/16/19 The Hold Steady “Stay Positive”
I really like this song from their 2008 album of the same name. The hold steady have been around for a long time. And much of their music you can hear the Springsteen influences and Craig Finn has a way with words.
Song of the (Valentines) Day 2/14/19 Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul “Saint Valentine’s Day”
I may have posted this song last year for Valentine’s Day, what the heck, it’s a really good song.
Song of the Day 2/12/19 Tedeschi Trucks Band “They Don’t Shine”
Husband and wife team Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks (of Allman Brothers) put together a 12 piece band about 8 years ago and play great blend of rock and blues and inspired live shows of originals and covers. Here’s a new one
Song of the Day 2/10/19 Crash Test Dummies “God Shuffled His Feet”
If you were a fan of Canadian music in the 1990s you might remember these guys. Their album “God Shuffled His Feet“ was/is a favorite of mine. Good Sunday morning song from that one.
Song of the Day 2/8/19 The Clash “Train in Vain”
So apparently, today is international Clash day and in celebration of the 40th anniversary ,this year, of the release of London Calling, here’s one of my favorite songs by the Clash.
( also one of the greatest all-time album covers )
Song of the Day 2/3/19 The Beatles “Norwegian Wood(This Bird has Flown)
When I was about 14, I asked for music by The Beatles for a Christmas present. I was thinking White Album but what I got was a compilation called Beatles Love Songs which was fine but not exactly the Rock and Roll I had in mind. Norwegian Wood was on that album and I was “ meh” about the song.
Well, chalk it up to youthful stupidity. This song is amazing.
Song of the Day 2/2/19 Paul Westerberg “Runaway Wind”
I woke up this morning in the mood for a little Paul Westerberg, then I realized there are about 1000 songs by him that I like. Here’s one of them
Song of the Day 1/27/19 Los Lobos “Set Me Free”
It seems like it’s been 100 weeks in a row of cloudy Sundays so when I woke up and saw the sunshine this morning I knew I wanted something a little more upbeat than my usual Sunday morning pic. This is the song from their 1987 album “By the Light of the Moon“ This was the album that introduced me to Los Lobos .
Song of the Day 1/26/19 Old 97s “Murder (or a Heart Attack)”
Great band from Texas it’s been around more than 20 years it always seems to just be on the edge of making it big. Kind of rock, kind of country, kind of punk, and this one’s a little bit more on the side of pop.
