Over In About An Hour: Volume 4

After too long of a delay between Over In About An Hour mixtape releases, I’ve put the finishing touches on the Volume 4.

The tracklist is:

  1. Brighter Discontent – The Submarines
    John Dragonetti and Blake Hazard pair up for musical and emotional journey on Declare a New State! This record gets better with each listen. Download it from the little digital music store called Zunior.com
  2. Every Time We Say Goodbye – Oscar Peterson
    The gifted Canadian pianist tackles the Cole Porter songbook.
  3. Winter – Joshua Radin
    A record so good that I want a physical copy of it. Three separate trips to the local shops and I’m still empty handed. He gets lots of play on the Last Kiss soundtrack.
  4. You Don’t Make It Easy Babe – Josh Ritter
    First learned about Josh Ritter during my Hear Music days in Seattle. Fortunate to see him play in a wide range of settings and this track always stood out as a highlight during his performances.
  5. Sent To The Moon – Tullycraft
    This came up as a recommendation while using Yahoo! Music earlier today. Liked the slight change of pace it added to the mix.
  6. Leave (Alternate Version) – R.E.M.
    This version in my opinion is much better than the album take.
  7. Let It Die – Feist
    Can’t say anything new about this record that hasn’t already been said. Add it to your collection if you haven’t got it already. Waiting for the next Feist disc due soon.
  8. Know – Nick Drake
    Nick Drake. Alone. From the album “Pink Moon“.
  9. Maybe Not – Cat Power
    Chan Marshall’s vocals and minimalist production leave lots of space for mind to wander.
  10. Left And Leaving – The Weakerthans
    The first of three Canadian songs in a row. Search around online for MP3s of these guys and Sarah Harmer’s performance at the CBC’s Glenn Gould Studios in Toronto, ON.
  11. Coffee Stain – Sarah Harmer
    Storytelling is part of the art of great songwriting. Sarah captures both in this track from “You Were Here“.
  12. Look Out For My Love – Neil Young (with Crazy Horse)
    Neil, minor key, and a restrained Crazy Horse.
  13. She – Gram Parsons
    I love the Emmylou Harris version of this song. The original contains as much passion as those that followed
  14. Miss Being Mrs. – Loretta Lynn
    From the 2004 disc she and Jack White worked on. Worthy of a place in any record collection.
  15. Something Nice – Mike O’Neill
    Used to play hockey against Mike when we were growing up. He crafts beautiful light pop songs that are always over before I’m ready for them to be. Download the album over at the Zunior.com store.
  16. Heartbeats – Jose Gonzalez
    Love this record especially with the headphones on.
  17. The Light Behind My Head – Dolorean
    Thanks to Tim Ziegler for hooking me on Dolorean a few years back. A significant number of spins for this one as the Starbucks crew spent many late nights on the Third Street Promenade building out the Hear Music Coffeehouse in Santa Monica, CA.
