Song of the Day 8/26/18 Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris “This is Us”

The collaboration between Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris seemed to come out of nowhere but it produced a great album  ( All the RoadRunning) and this terrific song, one of my favorite songs about marriage.

Song of the Day 8/26/18 Olafur Arnalds re:member

Song of the Day 8/22/18 Greta Van Fleet “Flower Power”

This four man band from Michigan has only been in existence since 2017 but they sound like they’ve been doing this a lot longer.  Classic rock and R&B influences jump out at you. Lead singer is almost channeling Robert Plant in this great song.
