Song: "The Flame You Follow"
Artist: Jason Spooner
Album: The Flame You Follow
This is hands down one of my favorite albums of 2008 so far. It's breezy, 70's inspired pop along the lines of Paul Simon, with maybe a modern day flavor ala Josh Rouse. Every song on the record is good, but this title track is really amazing.

Lisa Papineau
Song: "Saxophone/Calypso"
Artist: Lisa Papineau
Album: Lisa Papineau
The debut album from this artist just oozes cool....it's kind of electro, kind of alternative, kind of pop and kind of jazz. Lisa has a great voice, and some pretty amazing tunes. I think this is her debut album and the only one that I know of and it was released about two years ago. Check it out if you like that sort of thing.

The Shins
Song: "Australia" (Amazon)
Artist: The Shins
Album: Wincing The Night Away
There are some songs and albums that are instantly catchy, and then there are some by bands like The Shins. These songs age like a fine wine and, as a result, I never tire of them. It's one of those albums you look back on and appreciate the fact that it's bordering on brilliant.

Black Tide
Song: "Light From Above"
Artist: Black Tide
Album: Light From Above
My editor for Bullz-Eye.com told me I had to check these guys out, because they're teenagers and can SHRED. He was right...they are like a young Iron Maiden, and that's no exaggeration.
Check them out now if you're into that kind of thing...for me, it's what I grew up on...melodic, guitar-driven metal.

Rain
Song: "Rain"
Artist: Patty Griffin
Album: 1000 Kisses
After Flaming Red, which is one of my favorite albums of all-time, Patty Griffin went back to more of her acoustic roots on 1000 Kisses. And while it's not my favorite work of hers, this song is absolutely riveting. And it's perfect soundtrack-wise as we're expecting rain all day here in Nashville.

The Coal Men
Song: "Natural Wonder"
Artist: The Coal Men
Album: Beauty Is A Moment
I just started doing PR for this great Nashville band called The Coal Men...if you've never heard of them, do yourself a favor and become familiar with them now.....they have a rootsy, Ryan Adams-like rock vibe, and some amazing songs.

Glorious Day
Song: "Glorious Day"
Artist: Weezer
Album: Green Album
This is one of the few albums I can honestly listen to from beginning to end. There is not a clunker on it. And why not "Glorious Day," in honor of April Fool's Day? Happy April 1 to you all, no joke!
