Here’s a sampling of what I’ll be checking out this week. Its great to see Sonic Youth still at it after all this time and you just gotta love the Delta-blues from Keb Mo. Keep Donavon Frankenreiter on your radar. He’s yet another surfer-turned-musician to enter the scene bringing acoustic rhythms with a touch of 70’s soul. If you only have time to listen to one album, check out Allison Moorer’s Getting Somewhere. I know I’ve been waiting for this for some time now.
