Song of the day........Serena Ryder with "Little Bit Of Red"

A couple of years ago I had tickets to a Red Rocks show, and showed up as I usually do before the opening act played. Sometimes the opening acts are a hit, and more times than not they are a miss, or are interesting, but you forget about them after the show has ended. Hands down the best opening act I have ever seen live is this singer/songwriter Serena Ryder and her band. They were absolutely mesmerizing. Hook after hook. Each song was just so well written, and these great melodies. Great guitar parts, amazing keys, just really exceptional music. Serena's vocals are just so powerful, and emotional as well. I purchased her most recent CD, Harmony, and it quickly became one of my favorite albums of all time.

It's obvious I need to add to the collection. I love this song, but still do not own the "Is It O.K.?" album. Just this great acoustic riff opens up the track, and then at the chorus there are these layers of riffs on electric guitar, and keys, and you'll be singing those lyrics hours after the song has ended. Just a great track... Check out her other stuff as well. It's just so, so well written.

Song of the day..... The Amps with "Tipp City"

Pretty much everything that Kim Deal touches is good. From The Pixies, to The Breeders, to The Amps. I've really been digging this 1995 album "Pacer." Just some really good Rock tracks on this album. "Tipp City" has always been one of the highlights off of this album.

So, check out "Tipp City" by The Amps
