Everyonce in a while an artist or group comes along that offers something different yet the same. Enter Phonograph. Their sound reminds me of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers which isn’t a bad thing at all. Its got some nice rock undertones to it and listening to the Phonographs is an audiophile’s pleasure.

Solid. Strong. Nuts. Funny shaped leafs. All things you think of when you think of a mighty Oak. Standing tall, shading you on a hot summer day while you sip lemonade and play your guitar in hopes of wooing women. Right? Well, when thinking about these OaKs its more like good tunes, wonderful lyrics that really sing to you and a sound thats clean.

The OaKs have been around since about 2005 and have released a number of albums. Their latest, Songs for the Waiting, is the culmination of several years work and is perhaps one of the best new releases in the acoustic field today.

Don’t believe me? Just listen!

Its 1997. I’m on the quad at Oxford College of Emory University in wonderful Oxford, GA and a little known band making the rounds of college campuses is busy playing. The music sounded a lot like hootie and the blowfish, but a little closer to our age. It was cool and I was introduced to Sister Hazel.

All for you was their big radio hit that following year. People everywhere could be heard humming the chorus (and really, who could blame them?) and now, you can download it to your ipod for as little as 99 cents. What could be better? Well, not having to work for a living, but other wise, nothing. Absolutely, nothing.

Today’s ASMW comes to us from a pretty hip chick who’s performed in coffee houses and bars for most of her career (think of Phobee from Friends, but with amazing talent and a pretty good voice too!). Christina Abbott hails from NY and has been a singer/song writer for most of her life. The route she has taken has helped develop a pretty cool sound as she plays and sings about the things that she likes.
