Wild Card Wednesday - Ben Kweller


I saw Ben Kweller (and Ryan Adams) on Letterman the other night playing with the band America and it reminded me of the first time I saw him live. It was in Baltimore, MD back in 2001 and he was opening for another act. He wasn't with a band at that point... it was just him, an acoustic guitar, and a piano. The first song he played was a cover of "Ice Ice Baby" (listed below) and then went into some catchy material of his own. Here's a few tracks from the EP i picked up after the show.

Soul Music Sunday - The Commodores



I suppose songs like these were the beginning of the end for The Commodores. Lionel wanted to write the slow ballads while the rest of the group wanted to bring the funk! As for me, I like 'em all.

Just To Be Close To You - (from the Hot On The Tracks Album)

It's Alive! - Johnny Cash / Willie Nelson



I pretty much despised country music throughout high school and into college. I occasionally heard stuff that was on the radio and I just didn't get it. That is till i saw the VH1 Storytellers special with Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash back in 1998. I sat through the whole show and was blown away. I guess this was my "gateway drug" into the world of country music. Honestly I still don't particularly care for any current "country" stars, but after watching this TV special I discovered some great music that I once ignored: The Carter Family, Hank Williams, Waylon Jennings, David Allan Coe, etc.....)

Wild Card Wednesday - A Tribe Called Quest



If you've watched any sporting event in the last few months you've probably heard Q-Tip rapping in the Bud Select commercials. You know the one.."Don't Hold Back!" Anyways, I guess the marketing worked because it made me pull out my Old Tribe Cd's. Here's two tracks from one of the greatest rap groups from the 90's.

Two For Tuesday - Jimmy Cliff


Happy New Year! Let's kick off 2007 with two classic reggae cuts by Jimmy Cliff from The Harder They Come Soundtrack.
