Challenge 3: March - A Musician/Band a Day #4

Yesterday, I listened to Shakin' in the Rafters by The Abyssinian Baptist Choir.  I suppose I shouldn't have listened to this while reading a strange YA fantasy novel, right? It felt like too stark a contrast. I mean, it was gospel and it was upbeat, and I starred the song "I Want to Ride that Glory Train."

Today, whenever I was writing, rendering, or reading I listened to Ryan Adams' Heartbreaker. I was cheating a bit, because I've heard Ryan Adams before. I love his sound. I decided this could count, though, because I hadn't listened to this album, or at least, not all the way through. I'll probably star the whole thing, but the standouts right now are, "To Be Young (Is to Be Sad, is to Be High)" and "Oh My Sweet Carolina."

Challenge 3: March - A Musician/Band a Day #3

Yesterday I listened to the album Blu Blu Blu by The Muhal Richard Abrams Orchestra. When I first started listening I enjoyed it, but as I played it later in the day as a background track to reading, I found it agitating. Then, I don't care much for Jazz... It had a lot of unique sounds, though, I'll give it that.

Tonight, I'm listening to the album Shakin' in the Rafters by The Abyssinian Baptist Choir. It's hard not to be drawn into gospel music... so snappy!
