Don’t Leave Me This Way – Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes Feat. Teddy Pendergrass “Don’t Leave Me This Way” is probably better known as a cover by Thelma Houston or The Communards, who both do a nice job. But my favorite version is the original, written by the renowned duo Gamble and Huff, with… Read more

No Ordinary Love – Sade I remember the first time I heard Sade, with my dad showing me a live concert of theirs that he had on DVD. At the time, I think I was around 9 or 10 years old and wasn’t really into it. As I got older, and really began to fall… Read more

Sweater Weather – The Neighbourhood Happy Friday! I’ve gotta admit, I was pretty late to the game on “Sweater Weather.” This is a song that I had been aware of for a really long time. I remember hearing it all the time playing in various cars throughout high school and college, but I never really… Read more

Kathleen – Catfish and The Bottlemen Catfish and the Bottlemen are another one of the groups that I listened to all the time in college, an indie rock outfit hailing from Wales. If I remember correctly, I first heard “Kathleen” while I was in high school. I really liked it but for whatever reason never… Read more

It’s called Freefall (Live from Athens, Georgia) – Rainbow Kitten Surprise It’s really hard for me to pick just one song by RKS, so much like 49 Winchester, there will most definitely be some in the future. I think if I had to choose the artist or group that was the largest contributor to the… Read more

Saw Red (Acoustic) – Bradley Nowell (Sublime) I have been a huge fan of Sublime since middle school, and I think what really drew me to them was the fact that, at that time, I had never heard anything like them before. This sort of prototype of punk and reggae, with killer horns featured as… Read more

Almost Automatic – Good Looks Happy Friday! I was introduced to the outstanding indie group Good Looks by a good friend of mine, who showed me this song almost a year ago, and since then, it has been in regular rotation for me. Not exactly a country song, but these fellas are from Texas, and… Read more

Toubouk Ine Chihoussay – Etran de L’Aïr Etran De L’Aïr are a group hailing from the town of Agadez in the West African country of Niger. According to the internet, “Etran De L’Aïr” translates to “Stars of the Air” in English, which directly relates to Agadez’s location in the mountainous region of Northern Niger. Agadez… Read more

Truck Stop Gospel – Parker Millsap Happy Friday! Fairly short post today because I need to go mow the lawn. “Truck Stop Gospel” is a really fun song with some really great lyrics. I don’t believe in criticizing anyone for their religious beliefs, and I actually really enjoy learning about spiritual beliefs other than my… Read more

Kerosene – Miranda Lambert I don’t follow Miranda’s career like I used to, but I grew up on her first 4 or so albums, and I still really enjoy going back and listening to those songs. I have to credit my dad for introducing me to Miranda, and we were actually able to see her… Read more
