Songs Sunday


The day I spring my newest sounds on the world.


Writing to music has become a necessity. Certain rhythms set the scene, fueling the inner muse.

Or for exercise. Tunes: the powerful motivator. 


Gotta have music that kicks me into gear.

The movie, O Brother, Where Art Thou, features the Soggy Bottom Boys (aka Dan Tyminski) rendition of The Man of Constant Sorrows. After listening to this bluegrass tune, I didn’t think improvement was possible.


I was wrong.

Charm City Devils slows their version to give time for the bass to vibrate. Sweet, like molasses, but with a dark flavor, so different from the movie version but not so much that I can't enjoy both. Like choosing between a premium chocolate bar and the same brand with nuts. 


Both are excellent

  1. Music is a must for writing and working out. And it's cool when a band can remake a song even better.

    1. it's got to be instrumental or soundtracks for me to concentrate on writing. Like the soundtrack from True Blood or Master and Commander, Pride and Prejudice.
