It’s Sunday, a little overcast…a little wet outside. And I’m fully enjoying it. A nice reprieve from the constant L.A. heat of late. Here’s a tune that was playing around the house this morning. Dusty tends to cool everything off.

A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine, who works in media, was good enough to score me the Starbucks exclusive Bob Dylan Live at the Gaslight 1962 album. In simple terms, it is great. If you have had some hesitation, as I initially did, check out these two sample tracks below. A great […]

The blog I am currently guest-posting at turned me on to Richard Buckner through this song a few weeks ago. I cannot get enough of Buckner’s voice, tt’s as if he’s lived a 100 lives.

Canada’s music scene’s been on steroids the past few years, as further exemplified by the sophmore release from Ontario’s Great Lake Swimmers. Upon first listen, songwriter/vocalist Tony Dekker comes across as a hybrid of an early, pensive Neil Young and My Morning Jacket at their most subdued.
