The Beach Boys: Bluebirds Over The Mountain
As I stated yesterday, there’s probably no better band that brings you the soundtrack to the Summer than The Beach Boys. “Bluebirds Over The Mountain” isn’t the typical Summer or surf-song that you would match with The Beach Boys, though as with pretty much any Beach Boys song, it is full of Mike [...]
The Lovin’ Spoonful: Summer In The City
I apologize for the lack of posts recently – an unusual occurrence has arrived in my neighborhood… Summer! You’ll not see any Summertime Blues here, no Winter Hymnal, none of that. From here on out it is wall to wall sunshine, the stuff oranges live for. Summer songs in the 60’s had [...]
Simon & Garfunkel: Wednesday Morning 3 A.M.
I have, in previous Simon & Garfunkel posts marveled at the beauty and brilliance of the pair’s voices. This track, written by Paul Simon, off of their debut 1964 album (which share’s this song title) is a prime example. It’s hard to believe that this album didn’t make an impression when released.

The Beacch Boys: Surfin’ USA [Live]
“Surfin’ USA” is one of my all time favorite songs, one that I can listen to in all-seasons just to get me away to that warm ad sunny Californian beach so long to be on. For “The Beach Boys”, who need no introduction, this was to be their first big hit, released on [...]
José Feliciano: Light My Fire
‘ve been having a resurgent interest in The Doors recently – spurred by the loaning of one of their many “Best Of” CD’s from my local library. Yes, I am one of the few dorks that will loan a music album out of a library, listen to it for three weeks and then [...]
