It’s a Sunday morning, the first in the new year, and that means a little music to start the day. I am still trying to figure out the feeling of this year. I am not in any kind of rhythm yet, having taken a short hiatus, and am trying to break through to a hopefully rich vein. Maybe today is the day. We shall see.
But for my music I am going back to one of my favorites, Neko Case, whose music has appeared here a number of times. This song is Soulful Shade of Blue, taken from a live set in 2004 that became The Tigers Have Spoken, an album that instantly made me a fan when I was introduced to it. This song is an old Buffy Saint-Marie tune which probably doesn’t mean much to you if you’re not of a certain age. Click on her name for a quick education on her career.
It’s a wonderfully crafted song and Neko Case does it beautifully. It’s a nice, easy entry into 2015. Give a listen, take it easy and head down that road into the new year.
Have a great Sunday…
