Song Roulette

 

1) “You Painted Yourself In” • Jolie Holland • The Living and The Dead

“This album was given to me by a friend who thought I’d enjoy it. Wow! Was he sure correct! There’s not one single song that I skip!”

 

2) “Rosewater” • Waycross • Waycross

“A now defunct band—R.I.P.—a friend o’ mine who lived in Albuquerque for a summer years ago fronted this band. The haunting lyrics and vocals pull me in every time.”

 

3) “Lo-Fi Tennessee Mountain Angel” • Whiskeytown • Faithless Street

“What can I say ... Whiskeytown. (Insert heart symbol.)”

 

4) “Take It Easy Mama” • Ryan Bingham • Mescalito

“Ryan Bingham is perhaps my favorite songwriter right now. I discovered him on Austin City Limits late one night. I’ve learned nearly all of his songs!”

 

5) “Lazy Eye” • Silversun Pickups • Carnavas

“Perhaps the BEST SONG EVER WRITTEN! I put this song as the first on my bike riding playlist. I truly believe that this song makes me drive faster.”
