American Dollar has been one of our longtime favorites on SoundSuck. Their new album delivers on the quality and ambiance we've come to expect from this band. <p><p&a mp;amp;amp;gt;&amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p& amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&am p;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp; amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&a mp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp ;amp;amp;gt;&a mp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p& amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;am p;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;& amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;am p;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp; amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&a mp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;a mp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;a mp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p& amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;am p;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp; amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;am p;amp;gt;& amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;am p;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp; amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;am p;lt;p&amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;a mp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;g t;&amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;a mp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;l t;a href=" http://theamericandollar.bandc amp.com/album/awake-in-the-cit y"&amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;a mp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;g t;Awake In The City by The American Dollar&amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;a mp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;a mp;lt;/a&a mp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;a mp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp ;amp;gt;&a mp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;a mp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp ;lt;/p&amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;a mp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;g t;&amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;a mp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp ;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;a mp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&a mp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;a mp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&a mp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;a mp;amp;amp;gt;&amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;a mp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&a mp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;g t;&amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;a mp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;g t;</p&a mp;amp;amp;gt;</p>

A lil something I just heard up over on the Aficionado FB group . A lovely Balearic groove, now where's that sun..?

An immense amount of credit goes out to the fine people at Cascine . Before I even jump into this glorious new track, I want to thank this expanding label for sending their finest music. It really is incredible to hear how much insanely diverse music they continue to put out. Now, imagine running on water in slow motion. That's what it is like listening to Ditt Inre 's sun-soaked new track ' Månljus'. The En Värld I Brand EP is due out May 29 on Cascine [...]

Sofia Talvik live in Holly Springs Last night I had the great experience to play at the Holly Springs Cultural Center. I was invited by The Swedish Consulate of Raleigh, SACC and SWEA and the night was a total hit. Holly Springs Cultural Center is a beautiful building and it's always a treat to get to play in a theatre environment, built for performances. (Check out all the pictures from the concert here ) After the gig the local restaurant My Way Tavern treated us to a great dinner [...]

This is hands down my favorite slow jam of all-time. I can remember lying in my bed at night in my Scooby Doo boxers, thinking about my high school crush while listening to this song on the radio. "Beauty" was the song that always made me have wet dreams think about the girl I wanted to be with at the time. Dru Hill- Beauty What happened to R&B groups? Do those still exist? Back in the '90s, Dru Hill was just one of many groups that produced classic we-really-don't-need-a-condom music. [...]

• Dru Hill - Dru Hill- Beauty is Her Name

Henry is a resident in a nursing home and has been there for about a decade. He isn't doing too well, from what the beginning of this video shows us. He seems unhappy and very unresponsive, until someone gives him an iPod with some music that he recognizes. Instantly, the music changes him. He sits up, sings along and is suddenly much more excited about everything going on around him. It's an incredible reaction. When asked about it, Henry verbalizes a lot of what makes music special to all of us, even if it's in terms that we would never [...]

fortheloveofhersmile : :) Lovely frames all.

Yes, we do listen to country music. We may not post it but it's all our parents listen to. This latest installment of "Rewind" is a country gem from a country star. Back in 2002 Faith Hill released her fifth studio album creating hits like "Cry," "One" and so forth. It was the album track "Beautiful" that sticks with us to this day. Beautiful was written by the team of Aimee Mayo , Chris Lindsey and Shaye Smith . The romantic ballad lasts a full minute before Hill even [...]

Connect Savannah Noteworthy I'm tracking my footprints, or rather tire tracks, back towards the east coast and will be re-visiting a few of my favorite concert venues and exploring a couple of new ones along the way. So it's extra nice when Connect Savannah gives me this "welcome back" in their latest edition: Sofia Talvik's newest collection of songs, The Owls Are Not What They Seem, sounds like it could [...]

Artist of the month at Hotel Cafe Junkie LA music blog Hotel Cafe Junkie ( for you who don't know this Hotel Cafe is a singer/songwriter concert series and one of the best music venues in LA) just listed me as their April artist of the month .

♦ Kanyan - Beautiful

The KELLY CLARKSON is a fan of the covers, does at least one per gigage. And two PMs ago, in Boise town, the she-popper performed a spot on rendition of the AGUILERA's BEAUTIFUL mp3. Summin to sort those Monday blues ..

I missed out on my gig at the Super Happy Funland SXSW after party in Houston this week as my tour bus broke down in Austin, but Space City Rock blog did a really great write up for the gig. I hope people found out in time that I couldn't make it. I'm playing March 25th at Dun Bros Coffee in Katy, TX instead if you want to come and see my show. I'll admit to being somewhat biased towards Swedish musicians, these days; [...]
