Adele - Hometown Glory

I know this is not a new song by Adele and everyone's probably heard it many times. But it is such a great song so I thought I would share regardless. It's from her first album, 19 (2008).  Both 19 and 21 were amazing albums worth buying in their entirety and I cannot wait for Adele's next album!

I wonder if the album cover will show as "Adele (MBE)" to reflect her award of Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire?  I believe that would be most excellent.

Eddie Money - Think I'm in Love

Great song from the eighties!  Brooklyn native Eddie Money came from a family of police officers and spent two years on the force before leaving to pursue his musical dreams.  He had a string of hits but has not produced any original music in more than a decade.  I would definitely recommend buying one of his compilation albums if you don't have his early work - it is worth the money!

Something for Kate - Back to Normal

Something for Kate is an Australian group formed almost twenty years ago.  They have eight studio albums and several compilation and live albums as well.  Back to Normal is from the 2012 album, Leave Your Soul to Science, a welcome return after six years without a studio album.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Katie Melua - Spellbound

English singer Katie Melua has some very interesting songs to her credit on her six studio albums.  Spellbound is from her third album Pictures (2007).   The album also contains Mary Pickford which is definitely worth a listen!

Paper Aeroplanes - We are Ghosts

This is my favorite song from Paper Aeroplanes and was on their 2011 album, They released a new album this year, Little Letters. While Little Letters is a good album, it's not quite the brilliant effort that We Are Ghosts represented.

Please see the video below for the music and lyrics.  Hope you like it!!!
