Rodrigo y Gabriela, Live in Japan - "Stairway to Heaven"
Stairway to Heaven is a classic rock song that has been covered various times. However this version from guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela has quickly become one of my favorites (it is a close runner up from the original). I mentioned this particular track for this week because it is easy to transition from what might be a typical diet of radio music to intense paced Latin acoustic with something a bit familiar. However, the entire album is amazing to listen to; I have a fondness for the track "Tamacun". Live in Japan, comes with a DVD performance which is not to be missed. I am amazed that all the instrumentation is performed by just the two of them, truly a good time.Rotation 2
Mark Ronson & The Business International, Record Collection - "Somebody to Love Me"
Mark Ronson's third album dropped this week and has instantly taken over my speakers. Record Collection brings together an array of performers, including Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran, Q-Tip, Spank Rock, and MNDR, to produce a compilation of fun and quirky songs. "Somebody to Love Me," featuring Boy George and Andrew Wyatt of Miike Snow, is one of the more epic songs that makes you want to get up and dance even though there's a deep longing in the vocals. The mixture of the two takes you on a crazy odyssey all in the matter of 5 minutes. I have to also recommend the tracks "Bang Bang Bang", "The Bike Song", and "The Night Last Night."____________________________________________
