Music outside of the classic oldies was never really
emphasized in my household. I can talk at length about classic bands such as
the Beatles, the Beach Boys, CCR, Led Zeppelin, the Eagles, etc.
So “discovering” new music for me has typically been
dependent on other people “in the know” or looking backwards at classic music
that I had not been exposed to and streaming albums and such.
With this in mind, here are songs that I have really enjoyed
over the past month or so. For those that know music much better than I do, I’m
sure these will come across as a resounding “duh…”

Tighten Up – Archie Bell and the Drells
2)
Move On Up – Curtis Mayfield
3)

4)
Two Weeks – Grizzly Bear
5)
