The Lounge 5
Not sure if this will be a re-curring feature or not, but with the latest post of the Halloween iTunes Mix, I thought it might be cool to share some new and old tracks that are currently in my iTunes playlist. Of course some of these will be seasonal selections as well.
Autumn in New York - Frank Sinatra
Not much needs to be said for this one. It's Francis Albert crooning a fall classic that will put you in the middle of Central Park as the leaves gently tumble to the ground.
Big Ol' Game - Joss Stone
This is a brand new track released as part of a benefit CD to fight hunger & poverty. Joss is a fav on the ol' jukebox and this tune shows why. How does such a young British woman sound so soulful? Don't know, but sounds great.
Cool Struttin' - Sonny Clark
This is a newly re-mastered jazz bop classic recorded in 1958. For you Miles fans, in on this session was the famous rhythm section of Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones.
Eh Hee - Dave Matthews
This track actually came out back in September, but just in case you forgot about it I included it here. Believe it or not, this tune is on my iPod Run Mix and I use it toward the end of my run - usually right before I switch into high gear with either AC/DC's "Shoot To Thrill" or (OK don't laugh) Motley Crue's "Kickstart My Heart." I'm not a Crue fan, but all I can say is if "Kickstart My Heart" doesn't make you run fast than you must be dead. Back to Dave and "Eh Hee" - in the Dave & Tim Reynolds DVD, Dave speaks about writing this tune after visiting an African tribe with his family (BTW, Dave is actually from Africa). He played this with the full band at his show in West Palm Beach and in Charlotte. This song rocks live and if you missed him this time around hopefully it stays in the set list next year.
Bring It On Home To Me - Marc Broussard
This is a cover of a timeless classic from the same benefit CD mentioned above. Marc is a gifted singer-songwriter whose vocals stand up and demand attention. Check out some of his own songs if you haven't already.
