I was in high school when this song came out on the radio and I absolutely fell in love with it and the songstress responsible for bringing such a wonderful sound to the airwaves. This week, Lisa Loeb released the Purple Tapes on amiestreet and fans of hers could not be happier. It comes as a two disc set (to get this version of Stay you have to buy the whole bonus disc) with some previously unreleased cuts on the main disc and some background interviews on the bonus disc that make the whole thing worth while.

Especially if you’re a Lisa Loeb fan…

I’m usually not a big pop music fan (check out some of my past ASMW posts to figure that one out) but I cam across Marina on AmieStreet and not only is she hot (look at her photo!!) but her voice is haunting as well. Her newest release Modern Fairytale is a really cool mix of piano pop with a lot of good listens. My favorite from this cd is Moonlight Lullaby. Listen below and you’ll see why!

Sometimes, its fun to play in the dirt. Other times, its just fun to listen. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band take the best of everything country and mash it all together in a really unique sound that will have anyone bopping their head to the music (listen to the harmonica!!). The guitar, banjo, mandolin, harmonica and other instruments rock out the sound on their album. Listen to “Party on the Mountain” and you’ll feel like you’re there!!

Rare is it to find a good bluegrass band with an amazing sound thats light on the strings. However, The Greencards have managed to put together a sound thats fun to listen to while combining some of the coolest strings around. Listen closely to the guitar and mandolin, you’ll be taken away. Hey, can I have your tots??
