My Mom passed away in 2001. Some music performers both make me miss her and make me feel closer to her. Nanci Griffith is DEFINITELY one of those performers
First of all, I strongly prefer the Bowie version of “Hang On To Yourself” from Ziggy Stardust than the Arnold Corns version.
Sometimes you just have to shrug about how much you enjoy a song.
“Don’t Tell Me You Love Me” by Night Ranger is such a song for me.
“Goddamn right it’s a beautiful day.”
So, I love this song Funky Céilí, it’s just so catchy. Black 47 had a hit on their hands in 1993, and I kind of thought we’d be hearing a lot more of them going forward.
The first time I heard “I’m Shipping Up To Boston” by the Dropkick Murphys was in the 2006 film “The Departed” (which is a great flick btw).
Maybe this isn’t Pearl Jam’s greatest song. But I think it’s their catchiest.
It may take some folks a while to appreciate Nelly Furtado’s voice on this song, it can come off a bit nasally. But she sings with a swagger (and dances the same in the video)
Love and her band Hole were no musical hanger-ons. They had some great songs.
Welcome to my favorite Christmas song.
