October Top 5

This was my top 5 for October 2008

Click the play button next to any song to listen

1. Closer - Kings Of Leon
   I listened to the new Kings Of Leon album - Only By The Night - so much this month it was difficult to pick just one song (i settled on two).



2. Manhattan - Kings Of Leon
   more Kings Of Leon goodness.



3. Slow, Smooth and Easy - Anita Tucker
   A great tune from an impressive Swingin' Girls - From the 40's & the 50's compilation put together over at the Rockin' Kitten blogspot.



4. Shtiggy Boom - Patti Anne
   This is from Aladdin Records' 1983 14 Magic Lamps LP reissue. Another wonderful re-up from the fine people at Be Bop Wino. The entire compilation is pretty stellar; Shtiggy Boom being one of my favorites. I mean, come on, how can you not want to listen to a song called "Shtiggy Boom"



5. You Are The Best Thing - Ray Lamontagne
   I love Ray Lamontagne's voice. So powerful, so much emotion; same thing I love about Soul music. I'm always concerned i won't like the next Lamontagne project as much as the one before. This one took a few listens, but i am all over it now. You Are The Best Thing is one of the more upbeat tunes on the record. It is also the first single.
