Sarah Jaffe is another singer-songwriter I discovered while browsing through The Sixty One.  I loved her so much that I had to share this:

Hello again.

A Velvet Underground original, from the Loaded album, and covers by The Black Crowes, My Morning Jacket and Phish. I love this song — hope you do, too. Enjoy :)

Comment on the Phish’s video page:

“Not many people bought Velvet Underground records, but most of the ones that did went out and started their own bands…” -Unknown

I guess that’s the best compliment any band can get..”

Hi there again. I just remembered this great song from Blind Melon and decided to make a post of several versions of it. This is it.

So, start with the original:

Proceed with an intimist acoustic version:

Jump to a jazzy, eerie beginning, acoustic version:

And end with the pure joy of a live performance with the vocals completely performed by the crowd.

Hope you have enjoyed it as much as I did.
Peace!

I found Lelia Broussard while listening randomly to The Sixty One. Then I fell in love with the music and the voice. I bought the record, but it wasn’t enough, I had to share it. Here it is.

Playing a Bruce Springsteen cover, Danding in The Dark. In my opinion, way better than the original:

And now two live songs, just her and the guitar. It’s amazing, really! Masquerade and Armour on My Heart

I discovered this band on The Sixty One and can’t stop listening to it.  Together with Dandelion Wine they have the most interesting and refreshing sound I’ve met recently. Here they are:

Hello. This one is for my 12 year daughter, because she didn’t understand the reference and tribute to these bands in tonight’s The Simpsons show.
