The Mastersons – Crash Test: A great song from the debut album of this band led by the husband-wife duo of Chris and Eleanor Masterson. Twangy guitars and great harmonies make up this song that should make everyone who likes country rock smile as well as rock.
Chuck Prophet – Willie Mays Is Up at Bat: Chuck offers up a portrait of the people who made up San Francisco circa 1964. Chuck’s lyrical clarity, the bouncy melody and the nice harmonies from Stephanie Finch make this a history lesson you’ll like to study over and over.
Megan Reilly – To Seal My Love: The first song off of Megan’s album The Well takes Megan’s high but surprisingly powerful voice and joins it with the guitar pyrotechnics of James Mastro and the top notch rhythm section of Steve Goulding and Tony Maimone. Musically, there is always something interesting, even exciting going on in this track.
Spanking Charlene – The Other Girl: Lead singer Charlene McPherson’s tour-de force vocals on this track is what grabs you at first, but the rest of the band backing her builds, eventually leading to a wonderful crescendo. From Now I’ve Heard Everything’s Best Album of 2012, Where Are The Freaks?
Bruce Springsteen – We Take Care of Our Own: Occasionally a song stands out primarily because of its lyrics. This is one of those times. Although it doesn’t name names, given that the past election was between the forces of those who take care of their own and those who would have you be on your own, Bruce’s sentiments were clear enough in this rallying cry of a song. Musically, the song works well enough, except maybe for the Wild Honey inspired intro.
