Sharon Van Etten - All I Can

We all make mistakes.
Even though I try to ‘stand
Even though it’s slowly
I do all I can

This is brilliant. 

Town Hall- Always On Time (Ja Rule & Ashanti Cover)

A friend just alerted me to this. I like it a lot better than that Karmin ridiculousness, that’s for sure. I will want to hear their original stuff, they play well together.

Over The Rhine  - Lifelong Fling

Did I take too long
Did I get it wrong
You’re still the missing line in my favorite song

Justin Townes Earle - What I Mean To You

Because I’ve been feeling that 
You’ve been fooling around with my heart 
Oh but I can’t be sure 
Yeah, I feel like I’m stumbling 
Around in the dark 
Danger at every turn 
So tell me right now 
‘Cuz it’s the least you can do 
I need to know right now 
Just what I mean to you 
Yeah I need to know right now 
Just what I mean to you

Kate Maki  - Lose My Mind

This is just delightful music. It’s certainly tinged with more country influences than typical folk or my genre-creating fashion, I’d dub it secular gospel. It just feels like hymnal music to me, without being religious at all. Or maybe like the progeny of Bonnie Raitt and Kathleen Edwards.

Moonshine is the fifth record from Kate Maki, grade school teacher by day, songwriter by night. It is the lively northern companion to Maki’s previous introverted desert album, Two Song Wedding.

The David Mayfield Parade - I Might Just Pray

Apparently, there’s a Mayfield whose album I might enjoy more this year than Jessica Lea. How ‘bout that? Enjoyed Cadillac Sky’s Letters In The Deep last year. Listening to him, I hear the familial influence a great deal, but I like this a lot.
