Last Week’s Jams (3.17 – 3.21)

Well, after going pretty nonstop for nearly 20 years, RayRay and I had our first real Spring Break, so we took a few days off…please forgive us! That means that today you’re getting a lot of jams coming your way, new and a week old that I couldn’t ignore! But, even with our time off, Ray and I covered almost 20 new tunes…all but one included in our weekly wrap-up playlist to get your day started. There’s new Buffet Lunch, Mamalarky, Sharp Pins and more. If you want to go back and revisit the “writing,” just scroll through the site, but you’re going to have to try to keep up as the tunes are coming fast and heavy at you today!

Wholihan Shares Dried Up Creek

I’ve been playing catch up this morning, as I took off immediately after SXSW to hit up a family vacation, so the emails are everywhere! Which is how I hit upon Wholihan, an artists new to me, but whose voice is certainly something I’ve been drawn to this morning. The artist has a slew of observational singles to his name, but his latest for some reason recalled Eef Barzelay, partly because the voice was distinctive, but also because there was this way with his wordplay that really highlighted the poetic craft. Musically, the song takes on a songwriter’s craft, albeit with a bit of a down-trodden nature due to the tones and self-deprecation. Try this one on for size.
