Little Steven is back! Off the forthcoming album Summer of Sorcery out May 3. And looks like he is touring the US this fall! While I have read that the album will not be as political as previous ones, on first listen this song sounds like the exception. But really dig the rock and soul groove!
After five years, something new from the Black Keys. Worth the wait
From one of the best post Beatle Beatle albums, All things must Pass
Here’s one that’s a little more upbeat than my usual Sunday morning selections.
There are a thousand great LW songs, but this one is particularly sad and poignant. Seems right for a gray rainy Sunday morning.
This morning I went searching for something really loud. I came back to one of my favorites. After many listens , the lyrics still make no sense to me in this song but the guitars, well they make perfect sense.
Today’s choice is from Canadian electric violinist Hugh Marsh. The song starts with an ambient dissonant buzzing like a great machine starting up that after a minute becomes a drone that underlays the rest of the song.
One of the greatest voices ever.
In anticipation of the March 1 release of a new retrospective The Best of Everything, a new previously unreleased and un-bootlegged song by Tom Petty & and the Heartbreakers was released this week called For Real. From listening to the lyrics, it sort of sounds like a manifesto on why musicians do what they do.
Can’t wait for the new retrospective. I still can’t believe he is gone.
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.
