Greg Champion - Slow And Mournful
Champion’s best songs are not just novelty songs. They are pieces of Australian folk zeitgeist, built on timing, observation, understatement and a deep instinct for how ordinary people actually think. “Slow and Mournful”, from his 2002 album Shady Tree, is a perfect example.

Boyce Avenue - Will You Be There
There is something intoxicating about the simplicity with which Boyce Avenue record songs; often just vocals and one or two instruments. The sparse arrangements make for an ethereal quality. Disarming, calming and hopeful.

Lionel Ritchie - Stuck On You
The velvety timbre and effortless control are iconic and therapeutic. Really, Lionel Ritchie just sounds like Soul. And even though this song was part of his 80s Pop era, the thing is unmistakably Motown.

Bruce Springsteen with the Sessions Band - When the Saints Go Marching In
On Live In Dublin, Bruce Springsteen and the Sessions Band hand out a lesson in music history. On this particular track, they reclaim a classic African-American spiritual that was widely appropriated by white churches for nearly one hundred years.

Ryan O'Reilly - St. Mark's Hotel
On an otherwise unassuming December day in 2010, I discovered a four piece band in Notting Hill. Strumming acoustic guitars, singing some of the most stirring harmonies I'd ever heard. At the time, they announced themselves as the Ryan O'Reilly Band.

Eagles - Busy Being Fabulous
The Long Road Out Of Eden was the Eagles seventh studio album, released in 2007. The line-up was one of the smallest in the band’s history: Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmidt. I’ll ruffle some feathers here, but for me, it’s their best line-up.
