Pharrell

with all the recent talk about Pharrell's recent appearance with Nile Rodgers on the new Daft Punk, I kept meaning to come back to this track which I heard a few months back.

Catchy fun track and (in this case) hot models and bewbz in the video.



 

Imagine Dragons

It's hard to not compare them to The Lumineers with this intro, but this is better than Hey Ho

I think I heard this on the radio here in Chicago and Shazam'd it. Good stuff. 



I'm not signing up for the newsletter or anything, but the song Hear Me is also catchy

Jamey Johnson plays Hank Cochran

I posted this video a little while ago and am still in love with the song



I hadn't heard of Jamey Johnson before but this song is just so great in an old time country way. For some reason, I never got around to looking into the rest of the album...it just slipped my mind the way that things do these days, but yesterday I came across it at the library and it's just so good.

This video gives a good description of Hank and why the tribute record was put together:



Lots of great singers here; country legends even.

Beyond the Alison Krauss, the Merle Haggard stuff is excellent including the Patsy Cline classic.



and this more "uptempo" number which features Willie Nelson



Lots of other clips on YouTube if you're interested.
