Song: "Harmonium"
Artist: Rogue Wave
Album: Asleep at Heaven's Gate
I love this band, especially their last two albums...ever since seeing them at SXSW like three years ago. If you like brooding alt-rock, check out Rogue Wave immediately.

Sunburn
Song: "Sunburn"
Artist: Fuel
Album: Sunburn
When rock band Fuel burst onto the scene about 10 or 11 years ago, they were very cool and alternative, while maintaining very heavy songwriting roots. Later on, their success bred record company and producer slickness, which was good for them and their wallets, but not great for fans...it's just that this first album is so raw and awesome, and while I dig the second album a bit too, I kind of lost interest in Fuel after that.

Basia
Song: "Promises"
Artist: Basia
Album: Time and Tide
My brother turned me on to this jazz/pop singer about 20 years ago....yikes, has it really been that long? Yes, it has. Anyway, I don't know if she is still making music, but this stuff is timeless and great for Sunday morning or any time to just chill to.

Song: "Leave Me in the Dark"
Artist: Keri Noble

I did some tour press for this awesome singer/songwriter last year, and this is one of my favorite tracks of hers...an amazing piano/vocal song.

Gabe Dixon
Song: "Disappear"
Artist: The Gabe Dixon Band
Album: The Gabe Dixon Band
This is one of my favorite albums from last year, and I remember first putting it in the CD player and having that "holy crap" feeling like I just discovered greatness. The first two songs on this album are particularly amazing. It's just pure, simple, yet powerful piano-driven pop/rock.

Hold On
Song: "Hold On"
Artist: Santana
Album: The Essential Santana
I loved this song when it came out, but it took a few years for it to show up on iTunes. When it did, I grabbed it. Killer song, and even more killer guitar work, as you might suspect from this living legend.

Marwa Blues
Song: "Marwa Blues"
Artist: George Harrison
Album: Let It Roll
I recently reviewed a retrospective album by the great George Harrison, and in addition to many forgetting what a great songwriter he was, many also might forget what an incredible guitar player he was too. This song proves the latter, big-time. Check it out if you haven't heard it yet.
