spring showers

This week seems appropriate for a rainy day playlist of sorts. However you won't find dreary Irish wakes on the playlist. When it rains I want music I can dive into, it requires depth and soul. Music that can be enjoyed, not just listened to. This week features Big Little Lions, Cereus Bright and Miner.

Rain nourishes the ground as I hope this playlist does the same. Spring is about new beginnings, new starts and awakening. Enjoy the rain, relax for a bit, have a cup of coffee and start something new. Create a new beginning, try something different.

Enjoy your week and stay dry. Listen well.

risen, indeed

Today is a celebration, a victory, it so happens to be the most important victory in the history of earth. Love defeated death. Love wins. So put down your defenses, your weapons, your stereotypes, your preconceptions, your arguments, your quibbles and lay it at the feet of your good, good Father. Celebrate His gift to you.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" - John 3:16

Rest in those words and celebrate. Live well.

rock and roll

Another week, another playlist. This week we feature Wild Feathers, Houndmouth and Wilderado. I think throughout the playlist you can hear somewhat of a southern rock feel, hard to avoid with major keys and harmonized vocals. However as you see these bands have more depth and variety then at first glance. The unique sounds of these bands make them a great listen.

The other great thing is that I classify this as great mowing music. Its spring, flowers are blooming, its not unbearably hot and there is work to do as we emerge from hibernation. Get out your to do list, pop on the playlist and get after it.

Have a great week.

retro soul

This week's playlist is a veritable time machine. Leon Bridges, Nick Waterhouse and JD McPherson are all unique in their own way but I think also share the same retro feel. These artists exhibit the sound and feeling of soul music from the 50's and 60's. Each one, that is if you weren't looking, could easily slip between Otis Redding and Sam Cooke. I am not by any means comparing them to those greats. They have however recreated the sound with a distinctly modern take.

There are a lot of things that shouldn't come back like 80's fashion statements or maybe jorts. It seems however that somehow things have a tendency to come back around. I enjoy the take back to another time and think these songs are great!

Have a great week and listen well.
