Frequent visitor to A Little More Vodka, Courtney Barnett, teams up with Hoodoo Guru’s Dave Faulkner for this fantastic cover of Died Pretty’s Everybody Moves. As always, hearing another song covered by Courtney left me wanting more, and who knows, by now, we may actually have Ms. Barnett’s new EP, How To Carve A Carrot Into A Rose, due out sometime in August. The combination of Barnett and Faulkner left me wondering if more duets are in Courtney’s future. It certainly…
Read MoreRegular readers of this blog will recall seeing The Breedings posted here last year with the video / review for the 2010 release, Turn.

Just 36 years old, Jason Mraz has a successful musical career that dates back to…
Read MoreAbout 5 months ago, I reviewed the fun folk-country-pop of Flagship Romance and their song Treason from their debut EP, The Fudge Sessions (January 2013). These two provide such beautiful harmonies and incredible melodies, that they deserve yet another look. Hit The Ground is a true testament to this duo’s love for each other and yet another look at those oh so important harmonies. If you can carry a tune in a bucket, you will easily be singing along with all of…
