AMFM - “Disney Girls (1957)”

This is one I’ve had sitting on my hard drive for awhile. See what you think.

I’m Back In The Saddle Again

I got back from Mexico a few short weeks ago. It’s been forever since I last posted, so i thought I would make it up to you with this fantastic song by Johnny Rodriguez -  ‘Ridin My Thumb To Mexico’

I wouldn’t mind doing that myself… Maybe next summer.

36 Crazyfists - “Only A Year Or So…”

                                        36 Crazyfists

This band has been in constant rotation on my iPod. Make sure to check out their other stuff.

This song is obviously concerning the Iraq war and the soldiers involved. It has an interesting dialogue between a wife and her soldier husband. Makes for an interesting song.

Bucky Pizzarelli and Frank Vignola - “Moonglow”

This little gem of a jazz guitar album was released in 2005. This is the title track from the album. IMHO, this is some the most beautiful jazz to hit my earbuds. See what you think:

Bucky Pizzarelli plays on his signature seven-string Benedetto guitar. Frank Vignola also has a nice signature guitar by Benedetto.

Destroyer - “Painter In Your Pocket”

Lee Moses - “Bad Girl Part 2″

Is it true that you can’t have part one wihtout part two? I think so. And so here you are.
