10 Songs: Sunday, June 26th, 2016
1 – My Body Is Made Of Crushed Little Stars – Mitski – This is a huge song for me right now, I know it isn’t Gospel at all, but there is a strange spirituality about it, a searching for something, a dream of what life is – A
2 – Guitar Man – Elvis Presley From 1967, and, except for the Spirituals, his best performance in five years. He played it constantly once he got back to the stage. He medleyed it with “Trouble” in 68- A+
3 – Famous – Rihanna – If you can get over West lowbrow rap, this is a great song – A
4 – Peace Like A River – Paul Simon – His greatest song is my Beirut song, it reminds me of a fragile peace holding (it wouldn’t hold for long) – A+
5 – Poses – Rufus Wainwright – He has yet to top this perfect song about shallowness, depth, New York and brand name sunglasses – A+
6 – Plunder – The Felice Brothers – For ONE TIME ONLY, they nail their Woodstock Dylan and the Band vibe – A-
7 – Let The Mystery Be – Ben E. carlos – Xeno does the vocals and like the album itself, it is simply but it gets you there – B+
8 – Celebrate – Anderson Paak – I so need to see a full show and not an opening spot – A
9 – Islands In The Sun – Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers – Perfect Bee Gees covered, she sang it last night- A
