Tracks of the Week: Seasons
Blossom Dearie "They Say It's Spring" - This song makes me float. I don't know if it's the drum brushing, subtle piano, or Blossom's voice. But there's a feeling to this song that's so light and airy. She's the voice behind Schoolhouse Rock's "Unpack Your Adjectives" and she's one of my favorite jazz vocalists. The album this track comes from (Give Him the Ooh-La-La) is fantastic and you should really do yourself a favor and: Buy It.
Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood "Summer Wine" - What to say about this. It's great 60s pop. You've got a bright-eyed Sinatra duetting with a trail-worn cowboy. Endearing and at the same time ridiculous, this track is one of my favorites from their 1968 album aptly entitled Nancy & Lee. Out of print.
