Another share of one of my MP3s. I set up a new one once a week and give you seven days to check it out. After that it will be gone and replaced by a new selection. Please don’t link to this. Just click on the link and save it. Until I can make some money and buy some, if you get the message BANDWIDTH exceeded, just try again tomorrow. For this week:

Jann Arden “California Dreaming” or you can try here too! |
Jann Arden has just release a new album called “Free”. It’s great as if I could think otherwise. I thought it was time to revisit her last album called “UnCover Me” and chose “California Dreaming” to share with you today. It is a great version and apt for this time of year.
The 2007 disc kicks off with “Bring the Boys Home” (originally a 1971 anti-Vietnam war song) that is especially moving with its refrain, “bring ‘em back alive.” The ’70s hit “Peace Train” by Yusuf Islam (a.k.a. Cat Stevens) also delivers another powerful message in a gentle melody. True to Arden’s musical nature, there are a handful of melancholic tracks, including the aptly wistful version of Janis Ian’s “At Seventeen” and a moving, traditional take on the Carpenters’ “Solitaire.” The disc’s one original, “Counterfeit Heart” is a definite standout.
Hope you enjoy my share. If you do enjoy it you may want to check out the wiki page.
