7 Songs I'm Into Now

Yes, I've been tagged by my son at http://www.bergamatt.blogspot.com . And I'm supposed to list seven songs that I'm into now...hence the title. Some of these songs are new; some not so much. At least one is VERY old, but off a recent classic jazz recording on the Verve label. I like much of the newer music that's out, but newer music seldom swings like the old stuff. I'll let you guess which song I'm speaking of. Here they are...my list of seven, in no special order:

1) All the Time in the World - Lowen & Navarro
2) Busting Up a Starbucks - Mike Doughty
3) Soul - Healthy White Baby
4) Asshole - Jim's Big Ego
5) Black Horse and the Cherry Tree - K T Turnstall
6) Deja Vu (All Over Again) - John Fogerty
7) Steppin' Out With My Baby - Fred Astaire

I'm also listening to anything by Jack Johnson, "A Bigger Bang" by the Stones, and a lot of old stuff by Ricky Nelson and Johnny Cash. I kind of like the sound of high-pitched women's voices in songs like "Ooh La La" by the Ditty Bops and "Walking With a Ghost" by Tegan and Sara. I like bluesy performers like Daniellia Cotton and Shemekia Copeland. And I think David Gray has an excellent voice...specifically the song "The One I Love". Let's see...that Hassidic-looking Ska guy, Matisyahu is pretty interesting. And...the Subdudes just released an excellent album that was produced by the very excellent Keb Mo. But...now I've talked about more than 7 songs, haven't I?
