Recent tunes …

I heard a stunning version of the Grateful Dead’s “Brokedown Place” on Prairie Home Companion the other night, but I didn’t catch the name of the woman singing it.

Thank god for the Internet. Tracked it down there. It’s Adrienne Young. And amazingly, iTunes had her “Art of Virtue” CD, which I downloaded. I’ve only listened to it a few times through, but it’s a keeper.

Also found a recommendation in the Wall Street Journal of all places. The Dreadful Yawns. Again, iTunes had it, so I downloaded it. Odd mix that sounds like Crosby Stills and Nash, Neil Young. It has sections that are reminiscent of Crosby’s “If I Could Only Remember My Name.”

And finally, I found a copy of Herbie Hancock’s Head Hunters at Barnes and Nobel the other day for 10 bucks, so I snapped that up.

Good stuff, overall. My iPod is smiling.
