Song of the day.........Suzanne Vega with "Tom's Diner"

I have always liked this song. It just has this jazzy feel to it that I really like, and I like the flow of the vocals in this. This has always been one of my favorite Suzanne Vega tracks.

Enjoy.......

Song of the day............Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds with "Typical Situation"

I've always liked the Dave Matthews Band. I've seen them live once some time ago, and they put on a great show. Recently I've started listening more and more to some of Dave Matthews stuff with Tim Reynolds. Tim Reynolds is this amazing guitarist that accompanies Dave Matthews on most of his solo performances. Check out this performance from this "Live From Las Vegas" album. This song is originally a Dave Matthews Band song. Check it out.......

Song of the day........Brian McKnight with "Back At One"

Like I've said in previous posts occasionally my music listening strays from the Rock genre. Today's song of the day comes to us from the Pop/R&B genre, and is from Brian McKnight. I have always liked Marvin Gaye and songs, and songwriters that remind me of him usually get my attention. McKnight at times reminds me of an early Marvin Gaye. He's got a great voice, and this song from 1999 has always been a favorite of mine.

Song of the day...........Interpol with "The New"

I have to thank Yahoo internet radio for turning me on to these guys. This New York based rock band has put out some great albums including "Turn On The Bright Lights," which features the song "The New." These guys just have a really unique and great sound. There music to me has always sounded rather dark and mysterious too. Their songs go in directions that are often times not really predictable.

Song of the day........Oasis with "Wonderwall"

It was one of Oasis' biggest hits, and for good reason. It's an absolutely beautiful song. Every music project that I have ever been a part of has played this song. It was something that people my age grew up with. The album "What's The Story (Morning Glory)" was for our generation what "Frampton Comes Alive" was for the '70's. It was always in your backpack, or on your dresser next to the CD player. It was as common as salt in most of our homes. Simply put the album was amazing, but "Wonderwall" was what got us into it. The strings, the guitar, those great drum parts, and the vocals.

Yesterday the music project that I am currently in played this live for the first time in front of our audience, and the response was like something I have never seen for one of our songs. So, almost 20 years after this song came out it still holds true. This is an amazing song.

Song of the day..........The Verve with "Bittersweet Symphony"

If you were asking me to name some of my favorite cover tunes of all time this one would be close to the top of the list. The Verve's 1997 album "Urban Hymns" included a cover of a lesser known Rolling Stones song called "Bittersweet Symphony." It is just all around a great sounding song. The strings just add so much to this track. It's just a great rendition of a song, and a great example of a band taking a song and just completely overhauling it to make it their own.

Song of the day........Bratmobile with "Affection Training"

Today's song of the day is from the Punk Rock/Riot Grrrrl band Bratmobile. Bratmobile was one of many bands that rose to popularity from the Grunge scene of the Pacific Northwest. Back in 2000 the band reunited and released the "Ladies, Women & Girls" album, which featured this track. Check out "Affection Training" by Bratmobile.
