+6
1- Dire Straits - The Walk Of Life - This song has a riff that I'd swear I was born hearing. The riff makes the song, and the entire tune is as upbeat as the summer sun, and as sweetly addictive as a bar of fine chocolate. Just makes me smile through and through.
2- The Secret Sisters - He's Fine
Terrific! Grabs your ear like an old familiar friend, and mines the same heartbreak as Tammy Wynette did , but in a new and unique way. Great harmonies, melody, storytelling and instrumentation. This song has it all. This is how it's done, friends.
3- Sullivan - What's Good For the King
Like jiraffejustin I was happy enough with the 'acoustic' stretch of the song, but the louder electric segment worked for me too. I love good lyrics, and there were some great Dylanesque ( that 's a plus with me) images ( lidocaine eyes!) Driving rhythm Entrancing song.
4- Ricky Van Shelton - If You're Ever In My Arms
Good sound , nice warm voice. True there's no new ground being broke here, but hey it's June, the month of romance, and this one deserves a slow dance with the one you love.
5- The Smiths- What Difference Does It Make
Interesting, strong beat, seems like alt rock, and if the melody isn't as indelible as the top 3; well,, he asks a tantalizing question.
6- Jason Aldean - Rearview Town -
I like the theme, sort of ' Take this Town and Shove It. Worth a listen but the others just appealed more to me.
7- Jake Holmes - Dazed and Confused
Interesting that this was the backbone of a Led Zeppelin song. It was a little dated in its sound, but that doesn't usually bother me. I just think it didn't grab me as much as the others .
