Song of the Day

Cory Branan - Tall Green Grass

-----------------Cory Branan's "Tall Green Grass" rides along a jagged, steely guitar as well as an echoing block-beat that makes for a rustic, country-style rythem. Just as well, the sweet-secrets, hidden lust lyrics are perfect for lovers intertwined or those gone afar. Rolling Stone magazine called Cory Branan "a new breed of singer-songwriter" upon the release of his album, The Hell You Say. However, the Southaven, Mississippi man released "Tall Green Grass" from his 2006 album, 12 Songs.

You may be asking yourself, "Gee, Meg, how'd you find out about this killer artist? I love this guy!" Well inquisitive listener, I'm delighted to tell you that Cory Branan was featured on Taking Back Sunday's Adam Lazzara's featured playlist made on the obviously titled, Playlist.com. The list includes Iron and Wine, The Avett Brothers, HoneyHoney, and many more. Tell all your friends!

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Bad Moon Rising

-------------Ever wonder what the greatest songs of all time were? Back in 2004, Rolling Stone magazine dug through the archives, interviewed countless icons in the music industry, and forgoed sleep, food and smoke breaks to compile a 500-strong list dauntingly titled "500 Greatest Songs of All Time." Sure "Bad Moon Rising" hits 355 on the list, but it's the last of four songs by CCR that made the list. CCR takes original American heartland rock to its finest extent of southern rock and a 1960's vintage sound. Get "Bad Moon Rising" from Creedence Clearwater Revival's 1969 album, Green River.
