Only a Rehearsal

Song: "Only A Rehearsal"
Artist: Zack Hexum
Album: Open To Close

I had the privilege of working with this talented singer/songwriter a few years back, who is the younger brother of 311's Nick Hexum. Zack is still pretty young, and has the potential to be a household name if he keeps making great music.

Feet Don't Fail Me Now

Song: "Feet Don't Fail Me Now"
Artist: Utopia
Album: Anthology

I'm a big Todd Rundgren fan, at least a fan of his early stuff, and this is one of the best Utopia songs that is under the radar but quite awesome.

I haven't released this song yet, but maybe I should....it's the second day of baseball season so the second straight day I am pimping my own baseball related song! Here's to baseball season 2009!

This Game

Song: "This Game"
Artist: Mike Farley
Album: This Game

I would like to take this opportunity to pimp my own music, and since it's opening day across the country in baseball, this is the song I released last year as a single that I co-wrote with Jason Vigil and Zack Nichols. It's a song about steroids in baseball, but has a light catchy melody that even my very young son likes.

Give Me Love

Song: "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)"
Artist: George Harrison
Album: Living in the Material World

Most people think of John Lennon or Paul McCartney when they think of the Beatles, because those guys wrote most of the band's huge hits. But George Harrison was one heck of a songwriter himself, and some of his solo stuff borders on brilliant.

Man on the Corner

Song: "Man on the Corner"
Artist: Genesis
Album: Abacab

I loved Genesis before Phil Collins became a commercial superstar. This music is heartfelt and awesome and this is one of their best songs ever, and maybe one of the best songs in the history of rock music. Seriously.

Fools in Love

Song: "Fools In Love"
Artist: Joe Jackson
Album: Look Sharp!

Joe Jackson does not get the credit he deserves for being one of the most iconic and compelling songwriters in pop music. His first two albums, this one and I'm the Man, are full of some amazing songs that are interesting melodically and lyrically.
