The Puppini Sister's new sophomore-effort CD (UK version -- US not out yet), The Rise and Fall of Ruby Woo, arrived and is quite enjoyable. They do a few great covers like the Classic IV's Spooky, the Bangles' Walk Like An Egyptian and the standards Old Cape Cod and It Don't Mean A Thing, but they also show some good songwriting, too. Here's a cool new video of Spooky.
As for live music, brother Vinnie and I drove down to the House of Blues in Dallas last Sunday to see Todd Rundgren and had a wonderful time, met some neat Todd fans and saw a great show (a no keyboards-hot guitars rock night).
Go here to see guitarist Jesse Gress do a blues harmonica solo on guitar! Here are some more bits of cuts from that night.
Finally, been listening a lot this week to Owsley, a power-pop young guy who is very good at the genre. See albums here and here. I think that my kids turned me on to him, but I can't remember which kid or when. Shows I'm getting old. But I really like this guy. Check him out.
Later!

Will Owsley is a genius. He's Amy Grant's guitar player. His first record is one of my all-time favorites, especially "Oh No the Radio," co-written with another Tennessee power pop wizard, Ross Rice.
