Monday, July 04, 2022 By Mayer Danzig

How about another fave Fourth of July song? This time from Boston’s Todd Thibaud, performing the song in a pandemic throw-back living room stream. (If you like what you hear, you can get a full collection of Thibaud’s couch sessions here.)

Monday Morning Video – Todd Thibaud “4th of July”

Monday, July 06, 2020 By Mayer Danzig

Todd Thibaud’s “4th of July” isn’t about the holiday but it does capture an appropriate holiday sentiment, especially this year. As turbulent times swirl around us, sometimes it’s nice to find moments of peacefulness and contentment in our lives. There’s a guy on my street, he moves to the beat of a song And he […]

Mayer’s Picks – Best Albums of 2019, Boston/Dallas Edition

Wednesday, January 08, 2020 By Mayer Danzig

I’m fortunate to be able to explore and enjoy the music scenes of two cities – Boston and Dallas. Artists from both metropolitan areas have released some exceptional music this year. Here are a few favorites. Love it local. LOVE THAT DIRTY WATER (BOSTON YOU’RE MY HOME) LULA WILES, What Will We Do What Will […]

Mayer’s Picks – The Best of 2019 (So Far), the Songs

Wednesday, July 03, 2019 By Mayer Danzig

Canyon, Joshua Ray Walker (from the State Fair Records release Wish You Were Here) Talk about making a statement on your debut album.  Walker’s moving acoustic ballad is both a highly personal reflection on his father’s battle with cancer and his own desire to be a better person.  Simply stunning. Full Moon Goodbye, Michael McDermott […]

My Mind Must Be Back in Boston – A Special Playlist

Friday, May 17, 2019 By Mayer Danzig

Reckless Heart, Todd Thibaud (from the self-released Hill West) Singer-songwriter Todd Thibaud decamped to rural Vermont to craft his latest album. He returned to Boston with a collection of songs somber and introspective, no doubt reflective of the environment in which it was born.  Stark but nuanced arrangements play into the pensive nature of the […]

Monday Morning Video: Todd Thibaud

Monday, November 20, 2017 By Mayer Danzig

I spend so much time listening to new music that it’s easy to forget about the classics and old favorites, so I love it when a casual conversation sends me back into the archives. Boston’s Todd Thibaud has one of the most consistent — and consistently good — catalogs of any in my music collection. […]

I Will Remember Massachusetts, Part 2 – A Special Boston Playlist

Friday, December 02, 2016 By Mayer Danzig

Good Old Wind, Kingsley Flood (from the self-released Another Other) There’s been a recent trend of artists producing EPs rather than full-length LPs. The economics make sense, certainly for independent artists, in the context of the continuously evolving music industry. I also appreciate the possibility of getting more frequent, albeit shorter, releases from my favorite […]

Mayer’s Picks: Best Albums of 2013, Boston Edition

Thursday, December 19, 2013 By Mayer Danzig

This has been a great year for music in and around Boston. I hesitate to break these out into a separate regional list as they would all feature prominently on my overall Best of 2013. That said, taken together they make a great statement on the vibrancy of the Boston music scene. KINGSLEY FLOOD, Battles […]

Mayer’s Picks: The Best of 2013, So Far (the Songs)

Wednesday, July 31, 2013 By Mayer Danzig

Elephant and Super 8, Jason Isbell (from the Southeastern Records release Southeastern) This list wouldn’t ordinarily include two tracks from the same artist but I’m gonna make an exception. These two tracks exemplify the range of Isbell’s songwriting talent, from the somber beauty of “Elephant” to the boisterous rock of “Super 8.” Alphabet City, Todd […]
