get yoself some love in this world

it could be the fact that i've had two intense days of family rock band jam sessions and, being the drummer, my "kick pedal" foot is on overdrive (hence the amount of toe tapping and head bopping)...or it could be that she's just that groovy.


let me preface with the fact that i love emusic. (props to one chris march, who even though he used me for 50 free downloads, did introduce me to the wonders of the site) it's a chance to discover new people, quite possibly before the rest of the blogosphere. i ran into one of those people today. rachael brady is a musical equivalent of a breath of fresh air. you could compare her to a female jack johnson, just minus the sand. not as much beachy as there is bluesy. more folky than poppy. but smooth and groovy riffs on the acoustic. and folks, in my book, that's all ya need. inspiring, smart lyrics blended with her voice - which has moments of joan baez, a little carly simon, and even i think a little nelly furtado (old school, not her hip hop stuff as of late) i know, i know. i just used joan, carly and NELLY in the same sentence. forgive me, but give her a listen, just the same. if you need more convincing - she's australian. so she has an accent when she talks - and that's always fun.






and by all means, take advantage of this wonderful site, and check out rachael on emusic.
