Here is the first single from the Dream Syndicates’ first album since 1988 called "How Did I find myself Here". Clocking in at 11 minutes, it probably won’t get radio airplay. However, if you like the paisley underground vibe, the new material will be a pleasant reminder of the past.
I also saw today that Steve Winwood has a 4 LP/2 CD package of live recordings from his personal archives coming out in Sept. It includes works from Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith, Traffic, and Winwood’s solo career. Depending on the recording quality, this should be a good one.
Here is another new release worth noting from Strand of Oaks called "Hard Love". I think that they are from Seattle and remind me of My Morning Jacket, electric Neil Young with a bit of Screaming Trees grunge thrown in. They opened for MMJ this Spring and will open for the Drive-By-Truckers this Fall. This is "Rest Of It". Good one to turn up a bit.

1/2 way through 2017. There has been so many excellent releases to date.
I sure hope the second half , keeps time like the first.

Happy Listening!
