Bobby McFerrin & Chick Corea – Spain
Jenny Lewis – Heads Gonna Roll
Jenny Lewis has gotten so much praise and attention over the years, and, on the strength of Rilo Kiley, rightfully so. But I never really liked all that much of her solo work, despite giving it plenty of chances. It seemed like she was skating by on reputation. I very much enjoy a lot of her latest album though. It definitely wasn't an instant hit for me, but it seems to have grown in depth.
I especially dig how this live performance captures the cavernous sound of the album version.
Owl City – The 5th of July
Seeing and raising DK.
Nina Simone – I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free
Composed by jazz pianist Billy Taylor, this song was originally an instrumental called “I Wish I Knew”. Taylor recorded it in November 1963 with Grady Tate on drums, Ben Tucker on bass, and a horn section. He also wrote the first verse of lyrics, then collaborated with Dick Dallas on the rest. Ms. Simone recorded the song, now retitled as “I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free,” for her 1967 album Silk & Soul. She performs it here at Montreux ‘76.
Caroline Polachek – So Hot You’re Hurting My Feelings
Been waiting two months for hj to use this, and was waiting longer than that for a live vid of this song...so I'm going to pilfer it and play it now
Radiohead – True Love Waits
So at least one song on this Previous Decade list is actually around 25 years old...also on the list is Tame Impala's "The Less I Know the Better"
