Nicki Bluhm and The Gramblers – I Can’t Go For That
Thank you to my buddy Bobby Fivecents;) for turning me onto this band! I shared Lake Street Dive's Hall and Oates Rich Girl cover and he volleyed with this song. These folks travel from gig to gig in their van and play great covers along the way. ...
Tina Turner – Whole Lotta Love
Was hanging out with a friend searching for some other song, when this popped up and we were like, "Whoah, man, this is awesome." Killer bass riffs and of course vocals by Ms. Turner. Let me know what you think about this version in the Comments!
Barry White – Just the Way You Are
First heard this version during the summer of 1994 while I was living/working in London. It was on a cassette tape I had bought for some other song I don't remember.
The Rolling Stones – Just My Imagination
The 1978 Rolling Stones Some Girls album contains this great remake of The Temptations 1966 hit Just My Imagination. It's not an easy feat to render an equally enjoyable version of any popular Motown song, but IMO the Stones nailed it with this one! Let me know what...
Eric Burden & The Animals – Sky Pilot
"We die. We die rich with lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we've entered and swum up like rivers. Fears we've hidden in - like this wretched cave. I want all this marked on my body. We are the real countries. Not boundaries drawn on maps with the...
Bette Midler – The Rose
First off, thank you to my daughter Zoe for this awesome pic. It was taken in NYC at Central Park's Shakespeare Garden during our first cross-country road trip together. I'm sending this out to anyone who feels alone and/or unloved. The world, and the people in it,...
Oscar Isaac – The Death of Queen Jane
Boy do the Cohen brothers know how to entertain! Their movie, Inside Llewyn Davis, contains MANY musical gems, but this is my favorite. Becoming a mother has given me the most rewarding and educational experiences of my life! We've been through some trials and...
Britten: Cuckoo! Songs from “Friday Afternoons”, Op.7 – Choir Of Downside School, Purley (from Moonrise Kingdom)
This song is from one of my favorite movies ever, Moonrise Kingdom, by the quirky film-maker Wes Anderson. For me, this is a movie about love. All kinds of love. Young love. Love that has died. Unrequited love. The love one feels for comrades/friends. I found out this...
Stevie Ray Vaughan – Chitlins con Carne
Back in 1994, I spent the summer in London while participating in the Work Abroad Program through my local university. It took that trip, and an Italian guy from Pavia, to turn me onto Stevie Ray Vaughan! Shameful, I know, that a southern American girl wasn't yet...
Eric Clapton – Peaches and Diesel
If you've looked around the site a bit, you'll see I love road trips. One of my favorites was Seattle to Atlanta, via the Grand Canyon:-) Now that's a cross-country road trip! One of the most magical memories from that trip was driving through the Columbia River...
