Tunes of the Week

Mat Kearney. Nothing Left to Lose. Refreshing and enjoyable blend of folk rock, hip hop (yes!) and pop. Easy to listen to. Excellent music for backdrop to mark Grade 5 essays. Two thumbs up.

Patty Griffin. Children Running Through hit the Canadian ITunes Store sometime last week. I haven't listened to it enough yet, but "The MLK Song" is powerful and "No Bad News" has been a fast favorite. For your fill of folk, Patty is the way to go!
