What I Am Hearing-CCR

I've been a CCR fan for a long time. I have to be honest, I have a hard time getting into Fogerty now. When I watch him perform it just seems forced, to me anyway. I hate it that hey broke up. Isn't it great what the music business can do! :)

This song has everything you could want. Great haunting guitar intro, catchy melodic chorus, and a GREAT riff throughout.

New Music Tuesday-Public Radio - Sweet Child

I absolutely love everything I have ever heard Mark Mathis (the singer) do. If you have not checked out his solo singer/songwriter stuff you should. The guy writes GREAT songs.

Song Of The Week

I have always loved AIC. I think it is the combination of their great harmony drenched vocals and the very melodic chord progressions. This song has always been a favorite.

Lyric Of The Day

This is a new idea I had; sharing some of my favorite lyrics. This a few lines from a song called Please Do Not Let Me Go by the great Ryan Adams.

Great banter within this lonely conversation.

You were sweet enough to sing,
Oblivious to melody
Red suitcase full of clothes
Washed up on the shore of memory

Influences-Neil Young

Every time I hear this guy it reminds me of how songwriting should be done. He is, and always has been, a songwriting genius. I love his picture/word illustrations. He has impacted more of my songwriting influences than possibly any one else out there.
Here are two of my favorite songs, something old and something new.
