There are a thousand great LW songs, but this one is particularly sad and poignant. Seems right for a gray rainy Sunday morning.

Song of the Day 2/23/19 My Morning Jacket “One Big Holiday”
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.
Song of the Day Sunday Morning Hugh Marsh – She Will
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.
Song of the Day 2/17/19 Ray Charles “You Don’t Know Me”
One of the greatest voices ever.
Song of the Day – new Tom Petty! – For Real
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.
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 Day – Special Valentine’s Day Edition: Steve Earle – Valentine’s Day
Just coming in under the wire for today. I’ve always loved this Steve Earle song. Protagonist of song is a total screw up who always forgets to do the stuff you’re supposed to do on Valentine’s Day – no flowers, no candy, no card.
” I know that I swore that I wouldn’t forget… I wrote it all down… I lost it I guess…”
But he just lays it all out there for his love about how he feels. Very touching and gets at the real meaning of the day.
“The way you love me everyday… is Valentine’s Day”
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 Sunday Morning Hauschka – Hike
Some piano music for this Sunday morning from German pianist and composer Hauschka (Volker Bertelmann). From his just released album A Different Forest.
