It's been dreary few days in Nashville, and my mood has matched the weather. Music always helps... Here is today's dose...
"Lola" (live) by The Kinks from Come Dancing With the Kinks (The Best of the Kinks 1977-1986)/
I liked this song before I knew what it was about. I liked this song after I knew what it was about.
"Pilgrimage to Aunt Virginia's" by Minton Sparks from Middlin' Sisters
Minton Sparks has such a compelling voice (both in the writing sense and in the speaking sense). The setting and descriptions and characters paint a very clear picture of the story being told.
"Why Feel?" by Heath McNease from Fort Wayne (Songs Inspired by the Film)
Music inspired by Heath McNease's crowd-funded new film Fort Wayne.
"Far From Over" by The Slang from The Slang EP
A song from the self-titled debut EP by The Slang from Columbus, Ohio. My first listen. It's strong alternative rock, and I definitely want to hear more.
"This Hell is Where We Belong" (live) by Humming House from Humming House Party!
Another track from the live album recently released by Nashville-based Humming House. This high-energy Americana band from Nashville now features the powerhouse vocals of Ms. Leslie Rodriguez.
"Halomaya" by Shabbadoo from Pajama
A trippy, instrumental groove straight out of Memphis.
"Light erases the thought" by Fred Frith from $100 Guitar Project
Another excellent track from the $100 Guitar Project. This one features legendary guitarist Fred Frith (Henry Cow etc.). With the previous track in today's shuffle - we have over nine minutes of glorious instrumental music to start of the day. Nice. The related video we found is some good fun, too. Fred Frith along with John French (Captain Beefheart), Henry Kaiser, and Richard Thompson doing a unique version of the Beach Boys' Surfin' U.S.A.
"Living the Dream" by Warren Pash from Plastic Rulers
Warren Pash co-wrote "Private Eyes" - the Hall and Oates hit song. He is also an amazing singer/songwriter now based in Nashville. This song comes from his 2007 album Plastic Rulers. The video is from a show at East Nashville hotspot The Family Wash and features Warren Pash playing with Rolling Stones collaborators Nanette Workman and Bobby Keys.
