As summer is winding down I thought I would post a mix of old and new sounds from my studio. This soundtrack has been perfect for the long daylight hours of a Montana summer. I'm always interested to hear what you have been listening to so please leave comments about your new music, or your old summer favorites.
Chairman of the Board- Give me just a little more time 1970
The first notes of this song transport me back to childhood beach trips to Ocean Isle, NC. As we left the mountains and got closer to the beach my parents would switch to vacation mode by popping beach music into the cassette player.
Kopecky Family Band- Heart Beat 2013
A got turned onto this great band through the
ATO records Spring Sampler on Noise Trade. If you aren't familiar with them or Noise Trade they are both definitely worth a look.
Sam and Dave- Hold on I'm Comin 1966
Another family favorite for the summer. My dad would put this on and we would dance in the car. This would completely embarrass my older brother which only made us dance harder.
Damian Marley- All Night 2005
One of my favorite tracks off of Damian Marley's Grammy award winning Welcome to Jam Rock. Perfect sonic motivation for working late in the studio.
Ha....great bunch of tunes. Some I'm not too familiar with so I've written them down to explore while in the studio. Lately I've had a Pandora station playing called 'Mellow Happy Music' Lol good mix of kind of Americana, country, singer song writer kind of stuff. I also scored a few CD's (remember those?) of latin, indian, african, and a few other world music.
ReplyDeleteTourist season is almost over and wont have to worry so much about drop in traffic in the studio and teaching workshops so I can CRANK up this Damian Marley album!!!
Keep up this awesome Blog! I love reading it and seeing all the diversity in clay.
Hello Rural Clay,
DeleteGood to hear from you. Thanks for reading the blog. Your Pandora channel sounds like a good studio mix. I've been listening to comedy on Pandora lately and its been a good uplift for my studio day.
Have a good week
Delightful selection - thanks for sharing (:
ReplyDeleteA lot of these are new to me as well, so I'm looking forward to listening to them! As for me, this summer's highlights have been:
Spiritualized - Sweet Heart, Sweet Light
Tallest Man on Earth - There's No Leaving Now
Pesky Alders - Heavy Meadow
Timber Timbre - Cedar Shakes
A.A. Bondy - Believers
Maybe there's something new in there for you, too.
Keep up the fantastic blog and podcasts!
Emma
