Song of the day - "Heaven Bound" - Tijuana and Blair Dollery

Image result for Blair Dollery


Enter the rush of the guitar coupled with a pop of  tambourine. Experimentation of sounds captivates.  You are going to love this in an instant.   He really turns your world around  He pulls out the last d in bliiindd. And he knows it gets heavy. A love that is not conventional.

The inextricably bound lyrics and crisp, smoky guitar work on this tracks amps it to a different level.   The track starts heavy then drifts out to a quick stop.  It is an inquisitive track with sassy riffs and accompanying reverb.   And  Springlike bird sounds.  Yea as if you are taking a nature walk.  But its the smoking guitar solo that will halt you in your tracks. Lush and ripe. It is right up there with the greats. Apparently Tijuana put the musc together, then gathered Blair up to ignite the gutar parts and write the words. It  works .

The video follows a banged up couple couple reaching seeking moving through the sunlit forest.  Her messy bun matches his weary, forlorn look. The illustrious guitr solo haunts .  There is rebellion brewing in its warmth. And truth.  A relationship shattered by others comments. A fierce belief in movin on despite crticisms.   The halted stop signifies to me a fuck you. Yea we are going to be together anyway.  This song reveals and heals. The musical engagement  treats the listerner to an unencumbered ride. Beautiful just beautiful.

Song of the day - The Big Swirl - Barney Cortez

Wild opening sequence  draws you in with a sweep of psychedelic, cowboy energy.  barney favors Stetson looks btw.  Eclectic guitar riffs match the lyrical sass and elegant horn accouterments.  Barney comes at you with silky smooth vocals that belie the hard truth as he tells  a little story about his journey.  He thought he should call this track Runaway but The Big Swirl spews intrigue.  He sing about being a coke a cola freak and the failure trap.  So he Runs away. "The Big Swirl" emanates from a song by "Sir Rockaby",  Frank Black tune. The particular use of the term moved Barney. He told me,  " " It's what he calls the sky and the universe and I came to use the phrase as the spectrum of human emotions and experience. Sort of like a rebirth." This is deep and poignant kind of like much of Barney's music and though process.  Barney imparts a casual vibe but his songs are ripe with world wariness. He has a groovy vibe sport

Artist of the Week - Rubber, the band, from Philadelphia

A n ironic set of results when you Google,Rubber the band.  The useful office staple pops up. This useful educational article appears Rubber: A simple introduction - Explain that Stuff There is also a 2010 movie entitled Rubber. ´ Rubber  is a 2010 English-language French independent, satirical horror film about a tire that comes to life and kills people with its psychic powers.” Apparently it’s based on a true story. Rubber, the band, from Philadelphia consists of Andrew Loper (Singer/Co-Writer) & John Della Franco (Producer/Co-Writer). This amiable duo is quickly gaining steam and streams.  They are playing in several local Philly venues drawing crowds with only 2 secured singles out. They say an EP is coming soon. “Contol” snapped and popped into my finely tuning auditory system. The level of sophisticated twists in this melodious song about contemporary angst is right on point. The aspect of pretending to be in control anchors this self admittedly personal tr
