I wasn’t sure what to expect in a solo album from the guitarist from Dinosaur Jr, but whatever I was expecting, this one was a nice, mellow pleasant surprise.

#820 – This Is A Photograph by Kevin Morby
I heard an interview with Kevin Morby this morning about the origin story of this song. It’s a great tune about finding an old photo of his father when he was at the same age that his father was in the picture.
#819 – Three Flights From Alto Nido by Greg Laswell
We’re out camping at a state park this weekend in an area with little cell service. I ended up having to go for a walk to find a spot with enough reception to listen to this one.
#818 – Heart Like a Wheel by Linda Ronstadt
I heard Willin’, a Little Feat cover from this album, the other day and am now obsessed with the song. I’ve probably played it 10-20 times per day since the middle of last week. It’s starting to become a real problem.
#817 – Stratosphere by Duster
Here’s another artist from the Desert Daze lineup.
#816 – Troupeau Bleu by Cortex
One of my favorite festivals is Desert Daze, which takes place in Joshua Tree national park each fall. Of course, on a year that I can’t attend, they have an amazing lineup. So I’m picking my way through the artists that I don’t know.
#815 – Gasanova by Yung Gravy
A buddy of mine recently produced a pretty successful track with this guy, so I wanted to check out his catalog. He has an unusual combination of catchy beats and humorous but really clever lyrics. He also has a great Comedy Central video about his DMT/earthquake experience.
#814 – WINK by CHAI
Sub Pop soda bottle label, part 4.
#813 – self-titled by Black Heat
Another great 70s soul/funk album. Enjoy!
#812 – GT Ultra by Guerilla Toss
If you write an album that is seemingly inspired by acid, I’m gonna check it out.
