Happy New Year 2011


I’d like to wish all my readers a great 2011. As the years have passed on this blog, I realize as music aficionados we are bombarded with more new music every year – and I promise I will do my best to keep up. I will STILL be reviewing 2010 albums that didn’t make it to my ears till recently. As a way to usher in the new year – let me direct your attention to a FREE download of “Walk Tall” by Ziggy Marley & Paul Simon.

Neil Nathan and Oranjuly holiday cheer


More holiday goodies! Here is a video by Neil Nathan doing “Santa Claus is coming to Town” and we also have Brian E. King of Oranjuly doing a cover of his favorite Christmas song, “Christmas Don’t Be Late” originally performed by Alvin and The Chipmunks.

Anny Celsi "Christmas In The Pines"


Anny Celsi had a great debut and this year has a new treat. Fresh as Oregon snow, a new holiday tune – “Christmas in the Pines”. It features Nelson Bragg (Brian Wilson Band) on acoustic guitars, percussion and backing vocals – Paul Lacques (I See Hawks in LA) on lap steel, and Carl Byron (Ben Vaughn, Syd Straw, Michelle Shocked, etc.) on accordion. Buy this beautiful single on CD Baby.
