The band Dawes will be playing at SXSW along with several other bands. If you are in the area you will have some great music to listen to. Below is a sample from their upcoming album Stories Don’t End, “From My Window Seat”. When the lead singer of Dawes started sing my mind immediately flashed to Jackson Browne. The way he sings is really reminiscent of Jackson Browne’s sound. So if you know anybody that is a Jackson Browne fan, let them know about Dawes they might enjoy it. One to consider adding to your collection when the album is released. For more music go to http://www.thewildhoneypie.com/.

Joshua Radin “Beautiful Day” Single
JOSHUA RADIN
ANNOUNCES NEW SELF – RELEASED LP
WAX WINGS
COMING MAY 7, 2013
“BEAUTIFUL DAY”
I just listened to “Beautiful Day” and really enjoyed it. I enjoy the simplicity of the music. The instruments were nice and clear, but they didn’t over power Joshua’s voice. When the instruments overpower the artist voice I hate it. But this was very crisp and clear. The song itself was to me really up lifting. If you get a chance check out Wax Wings I think it would be a nice album to pick up for your music collection.
