Song of the day.......Sara Bareilles with "City"

A couple of years ago my wife and I saw Sara Bareilles open up for OneRepublic at Red Rocks. I have to admit that I was not that familiar with her catalog other than her hits. Her performance blew us away, and in the years since I have gotten more familiar with her discography. Great music. Soulful music. In the early '90's I found myself listening to Tori Amos for the exact same reasons. I've always loved the sound of the piano, and some people can play it and make it an extension of themselves, and it's just this beautiful, soulful thing. Billy Joel and Elton John are in that category of musicians as well. They can play a piano in a room, and it just be them, and its amazing. So, check out this great track from Sara Bareilles titled "City." Just a beautiful number.

Song of the day......Gogol Bordello with "Shy Kind Of Guy"

Today's song of the day is a slower number from the Gypsy-Punk band Gogol Bordello's catalog. I saw these guys open for Faith No More at Red Rocks a couple of months ago, and their set was pretty amazing. Lots of energy, and great material. I've been listening to them a lot lately on Pandora, and I am really digging their material. Today's song of the day is the first song, but definitely not the last, to appear on my Song of the Day blog. Love the accordion on this. Check out "Shy Kind of Guy" from Gogol Bordello.
