Kris Kristofferson: Loving Her Was Easier

Here is a vintage 1972 performance of a song that should be on everyone's "all time greatest" list.

Nick Waterhouse: Some Place

I have commented often on this blog about how thrilled I am that there is so much soul out there these days. If you agree, you're going to love this song off Waterhouse's debut album that was release last month on Innovative Leisure Records.

Ben Howard: Keep Your Head Up

I like the upbeat feel to this folksy-pop bit by this English artist. This is off his 2011 album Every Kingdom.

Here We Go Magic: Alone but Moving

This is another tremendous Brooklyn-based band. One critic hit it spot on when he described this group's music as walking "the line between ambient hypnotica and melodic indie rock."

Marie-Pierre Arthur: Alright

Here's a catchy tune off this Canadian artist's recent release.
