Ghostbird by Zee Avi
Zee Avi is kind of the perfect summer music. Her music has an island vibe that's really cool. I first heard of her from YouTube. She gained quite the YouTube following before she was signed by a record label. This is her second CD and I feel it has really refined the sound of the first CD. The first song I really like off of this CD is The Book of Morris Johnson. The vibe of the song is just really cool. Another song on the CD that exemplifies summer is Roll Your Head in the Sun. Seriously this song puts me on a beach in the Caribbean.
One Song At A Time by Jamie Grace
I've had and enjoyed this CD since last fall, but this summer I turned my mom on to it by listening to it whenever we ran errands. It's really a great CD, and perfect for the summer. My mom's favorite song off of the CD is 1945. It's a really creative and catchy song.
Once Again by John Legend
I have to admit, the reason I got into John Legend at all was the reality singing competition Duets. I had always wanted to take the time to listen to some of his stuff, and the show just gave me the perfect excuse. R&B is a lost are in music these days, but John Legend goes back to the days of Marvin Gaye and really puts out some impressive music. My hands down favorite song of his is Slow Dance.
Chronicle, Vol 1 by Creedence Clearwater Revival
This is a greatest hits album, but I find that those are often a good way to get into a band that has a large catalog like CCR. They really have a plethora of amazing songs. Two of my favorites are Down on the Corner and Fortunate Son.
Human Again by Ingrid Michaelson
I've been a fan of Ingrid Michaelson for a while. Her newest CD came out this last winter, but I really haven't had a chance to listen to it until this summer. One of my favorite songs is Blood Brothers. It has a great meaning that people should be reminded of more these days.
