I’m thoroughly enjoying the post Christmas gift card euphoria – I love buying music – there’s something very noble and rewarding about it.
There’s a website that I’ve been digging for a while – Live from Daryl’s House - it has this killer show that captures Daryl Hall and his band – they welcome in a different artist every other month, hang out and play music. They cover some of the guest artist’s songs and then some of the Hall & Oates classics. It’s all shot and recorded live – the music sounds and feels real – you get a sense of what it is was like to be there – you also get a sense of the musicianship required. Check out the trailer below:
The episode that turned me onto the show was K.T.Tunstall’s – she was brilliant – check out this version of Black Horse and the Cherry Tree. The current episode is with a band called Company of Thieves – I’d never heard of them but checked out the show – 30 minutes later I have their EP Ordinary Riches playing through my iTunes and my gift card is $5.99 poorer – 15 tracks too – amazing value!
This is the music business – it is alive and getting better all the time.
