Amy MacDonald - I Got No Roots

Great song by Amy MacDonald, a Scottish singer. She has three albums to date at the ripe old age of 26.  All of the albums are are excellent and I would buy them all (And I did).



I Got No Roots is from her second album, A Curious Thing (2010). Please see the video below for music and lyrics.

Jordan Pruitt - I Wanna Go Back

A cute song from Jordan Pruitt. I think going on The Voice after having two albums to her credit was a career mistake - even worse was losing...

In any case, both albums were filled with catchy pop songs and she's definitely talented.  I'm not sure why that hasn't translated to longevity on the charts.

The good news is that there are a lot of reality talent shows out there now and I'm sure she could get on any of them if that's her thing.

Please see the video below for music and lyrics.

Vedera - Loving Ghosts

Vedera was an American rock/pop band with heavy emphasis on the "was."  With two albums and EP to their credit, they were well on their way to success.  Stages (2009) which contains Loving Ghosts was an amazing album.

Unfortunately, the group disbanded in 2011, never to be heard from again.  Or at least most of the group drowned in anonymity - Kristen May, the lead singer joined Flyleaf, replacing their lead singer in 2012.

Please see the video below for music and lyrics.

Michael Penn - All That That Implies

I think almost everyone's heard No Myth from Michael Penn's first album, March (1989). I think most would be hard-pressed to name another song from any one of eight studio albums in his discography.

That's unfortunate since a lot of his music is quite good, just not very commercial with radio in mind. All That That Implies is originally from his third album, Resigned (1997) but can be found on his compilation album released in 2007 as well.


Please see the video below for music and lyrics.

Greg Laswell - Come Back Down (Feat Sara Bareilles)

Nice song by Greg Laswell that includes an assist from Sara Bareilles. With five studio albums and several extended plays to his credit, he has a large collection of work from which to choose. All of it is serviceable but much of it sounds very similar - the lyrics may be different but unless you are paying close attention, it's difficult at times to tell one song from another as a casual listener. Still, there are some jewels on each album that are worth a listen.

Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to get much airplay though I've heard him on TV shows here and there.

Please see the video below for music and lyrics.
