It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over – Lenny Kravitz I’ve been a casual Lenny Kravitz fan for a while; I think he’s a great proponent of art and music, but I’ve never really known more than a handful of his songs. He’s got some damn good ones, though! Believe it or not, I actually was Read more

Alaska – Maggie Rogers I was first introduced to Maggie Rogers through her feature on Zach Bryan’s song “Dawns“, or so I thought. After a quick Google search, I realized I had seen her before. In 2016, (I think) Maggie was a student at NYU, taking a master class with the legendary producer Pharrell Williams. Read more

Here We Go Again – Ray Charles Feat. Norah Jones and Billy Preston A country music standard, Ray Charles first made “Here We Go Again” a big R’n’B hit in 1967, which is a killer rendition, but in 2004, the same year he passed away, he re-recorded the song with one of my favorite voices Read more

Ten Million Slaves & Hey Joe – Otis Taylor Otis Taylor is a really cool artist I’ve been a fan of for a while now. Ten Million Slaves was the first song I came to know by him after hearing it in the great Johnny Depp movie, Public Enemies, about John Dillinger. He’s an incredibly Read more

A.H.Q – the Will Overman Band Another tune from my high school years, a good buddy of mine introduced me to this one on a trip to Destin. A.H.Q by the Will Overman Band is a fun little southern rock song that is a laid back listen, great for sharing some drinks with a friend. Read more

Musta Been A Ghost – Proxima Parada Proxima Parada’s song “Musta Been A Ghost” is a great song for the days ahead, with summer winding down. Upbeat and soulful, this is a great song to welcome in the weekend or maybe even say goodbye to one on a Sunday afternoon. Lyrically, I think this song Read more

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

Fool Hearted & Veruca Salt – 49 Winchester Okay, I promise this will be my last 49 post for a while. To avoid posting them four weeks in a row, I decided to feature both these 49 songs on the same day because they’re on the same album, The Wind. It also happens to be Read more

Can You Do It For Me – Jai’Len Josey I first heard this song in the back of a car with some of my really good friends in college, and I believe we were heading back to Carrollton (where I went to school) from Atlanta via I-20. It was pretty late at night and I Read more
