A Wild Bunch

Title non-descript.

Good times and bad, gotta move on and grow up and get your shit together, ain't nobody gonna do it for you.
and it is happening right now, whether you like it or not.


Neil Young - Tonight's The Night 

The second album in Young's The Ditch Trilogy, although released third, this was recorded 2nd, (first being last weeks Time Fades Away, and the final On The Beach) Continuing with the Live album format, Young cruises down the lonesome road, dealing with death and drug use.  Tonight's The Night, see Young at possibly his most darkest hour, singing despondently over the piano and playing over loose, rock blues rhythms.   The band was going through much internal turmoil, and Young himself has been noted as being intoxicated throughout most of the tour.   In an interview he once said of this album that it was the closet he'd ever come to making art. This is not your Dad's Neil Young.


Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings - Naturally
Modern soul from the Dap-Tone label, Sharon Jones brings the romance back with style, being helped by a great backing band with The Dap Kings.  Get down on this Valentines Day, this ones for the modern lovers.  Includes a great version of This Land Is Your Land.
Key Tracks: Stranded In Your Love, How Long Do I have To Wait For You?
