• Song of the Day #1,730: ‘When the Ship Comes In’ – Bob Dylan

  Number of comments: 2
  Apologies to Amy, who recently requested that I not post anymore Bob Dylan songs. I’m not sure why she picked on poor Dylan, who hasn’t made many appearances on the blog lately (only two this year, though admittedly one was less than a week ago). I hope today’s song, a [...]

• Song of the Day #1,729: ‘Skylar Diggins’ – DeeYouDouble

  Number of comments: 3
  I’m a huge Miami Heat and NBA basketball fan, but I don’t have any interest in either college basketball or women’s basketball, let alone women’s college basketball. So I was caught off guard earlier this week when SportsCenter did a segment on Notre Dame’s Skylar Diggins, the senior who just [...]

• Song of the Day #1,728: ‘This Movie’s Way Too Long’ – Josh Rouse

  Number of comments: 2
  It’s been six years since Josh Rouse released a proper solo album along the lines of his stellar mid-career trio, Under Cold Blue Stars, 1972 and Nashville. He followed his muse (and his wife) to Spain after 2007′s Country Mouse, City House and released one half-Spanish album and a couple [...]

• Song of the Day #1,727: ‘Merry Go ‘Round’ – Kacey Musgraves

  Number of comments: 2
  A couple of years ago I finally succumbed to all of the great things I’d been reading about Miranda Lambert and bought a couple of her albums. Regular readers of this blog know that I fell hard for her blend of sass and sensitivity, and songwriting chops I’d never associated [...]

• Song of the Day #1,726: ‘To Myself’ – Tift Merritt

  Number of comments: 3
  The other day I was very excited when my Facebook feed served up not just the usual mix of ads and self-help soliloquies but an announcement that immediately moved me to action. Tift Merritt, the singer-songwriter beloved by me and a handful of NPR listeners who recognize her as a [...]

• Song of the Day #1,725: ‘No Cars Go’ – Arcade Fire

  Number of comments: 2
  This might not be a popular decision around these parts, but I was intrigued enough by my three-week exploration of Arcade Fire’s The Suburbs that I’ve decided to continue the experiment. Over the next three weeks I will dissect each song on Arcade Fire’s 2007 album Neon Bible, starting with [...]

• Song of the Day #1,724: ‘Walls of Red Wing’ – Bob Dylan

  Enclosure: [download]

  Number of comments: 2
  Here’s one of those early tracks from the first volume of Bob Dylan’s Bootleg Series. This song was an outtake from The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan. Unlike many of the songs that were inexplicably left off of Dylan’s albums over the years, scrapping this one was a good choice. It’s certainly [...]

• Song of the Day #1,723: ‘Eli’s Comin” – Laura Nyro

  Number of comments: 2
  Laura Nyro was not only ahead of her own time (late 60s and early 70s), but pretty much every time after that as well. This is some crazy shit. Nyro has a knack for writing 4-minute songs that feel more like 45 minutes. I mean that in both a good [...]

  There are places I’ll remember All my life, though some have changed Some forever, not for better Some have gone and some remain All these places have their moments With lovers and friends I still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life, I’ve loved them [...]
