Tahoe Recap

We just spent over 20 hours in the car last week on our annual trip to Tahoe for the Tingey Family Reunion. 20 hours is a long time, and it gave me amble time to sample quite a few new albums and relive a few of the classics.
Some of the Old School hits...

Biz Markie, Just a Friend Just for you Lenny.


John suggested that I listen to Whitey. I liked the tracks enough that I downloaded all of his albums when I got back to Sandy. Here's a sample...



Dad mentioned on one of the previous posts that this blog seem to be very male centered. In an effort to keep everyone happy. We did spend quite a bit of time listening to the new Sara Barilles and KT Tunstall albums, both are very good. I think Kaleidoscope Heart is a very good album. Tiger Suit is a good album, not as good as KT's freshman album.

Sara Barilles, King of Anything



KT Tunstall, Push That Knot Away



Lastly, I really like the new Jeremy Messersmith album, "The Reluctant Graveyard". Take a listen, let me know what you think.

Chuck is Back

Stacey and I are fans of the show Chuck on Monday nights. The show is okay. Although very predictable, the music they choose for the show is great. Last season they gave me Sam Issacs, this season they started out using a great track from The Black Keys.
Gavin suggested I check out the Black Keys over the summer. It's one of the CD's I keep in my car just in case I forget my Iphone.

Otis Taylor

I was reminded of an oldie but goodie this morning as I put the Iphone on Shuffle. Otis Taylor, you may recognize him from the closing scene of Shooter or from Public Enemies. This song seems to get used a lot, for good reason, if you want my opinion. I'm a sucker for a great guitar line. Aren't many better than this one. Otis can play.

Mumford and Sons

A friend of mine suggested that I add Mumford and Sons to my playlist for this morning. I have to admit, I'm impressed with 4 guys playing 7 instruments at one time. Check out the video, basic, clean and very catchy.

Week of Sept 13

With this being my first post I thought I would tell you what I've been listening to in the car for the last couple of days.



The Arcade Fire, The Suburbs. Fantastic Album, will probably make the top of my list for Album of the Year.



Brandon Flowers, Flamingo. Brandon apparently wrote all of these songs while on tour and when The Killers got home the rest of the band decided to take a break. The videos are terrible, but I really enjoy Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas and Crossfire.



I may have mentioned this group to a couple of you, but, I can't stop listening to The Gaslight Anthem, there are three albums to date, American Slang, The '59 Sound. and Sink or Swim





Recent recommendation from my Dad. The Drive by Truckers, The Big To Do. I just started listening to the album this morning and I've enjoyed the first couple of tracks.




Just a couple of suggestions to start the blog, what are you listening to?

Welcome to my music blog

I don't pretend to be an expert when it comes to music. I listen to a huge range of music and just wanted an outlet to share what I'm currently listening to. I encourage you to share what you are listening to as well. I'm always up for something new.
