Song of the Day - Danger Zone - Hawk Tubley TBT #1

Hawk Tubley harnesses an old soul feel. I wanted to get this out on a Thursday. It is my first of my TBT songs segment. In this fast paced world of electronics, gadgets, snap chats and hackers, this song heals the contemporary psychological wounds. I do feel we are all in a "Danger Zone". Where are we going? Well to figure that out, let's go back. Time to set "your inner monkey free".

George Mostoller is the mastermind of Hawk Tubley.

The name came to him one morning pre caffeine. he questioned why he chose the name. I think it works because it is unique sticks with you. You know alight then. George crafts masterful lyrics that just "bounce like a rubber ball". I enjoy the creative word play. He plays his acoustic guitar with a shifty hand. It works. His keyboard player, Dave Cope (leader of the Sass),lends his multi instrumental prowess to the Ozymandians. He is seen here playing keys then shifting to guitar. "Dirty streets/dirty minds.... dislocated rendezvous. I sent a message through."

I hope this reached the masses looking for a simpler time. Hawk Tubley has a retro 70's feel. Thank you Jesus! Maybe 1974 was a year rip with strife, but the music was better. It was. There was a sense of insouciant abandon. People with voices that maybe wouldn't get radio play (aka Neil Young, Dylan, even jerry) were setting stages a blaze with messages and guitar solos galore. George and his gang of maharishi musicians bring me back to a time when music held it head high in it's unabashed reverie
Hats off.
