This Is The Life
Monday morning, Shut Up and Kiss Me wonder where’re you gonna sleep tonight.
This catchy song was originally a big hit for its singer-songwriter, Scottish Amy Macdonald, who wrote it when she was only 16. The song made its way all through Europe a decade and a half ago, and landed here with this Romanian band.

Little Saint Nick
Josh Turner and friends with a rollicking Beach Boys re-creation straight from his apartment. The harmonies, the ridiculous lyrics, and the 1960s vibe are all so much fun.

You Really Got A Hold On Me: Allison Young
Monday morning, the great Smokey Robinson song as performed by Allison Young. We always enjoy her duets with Josh Turner, but even some of her much earlier YouTube videos, made in her bedroom, as seen here, show her extraordinary voice and artistry.

Joan Baez and Earl Scruggs At Home
Monday morning, banjo legend Earl Scruggs pays a visit to Joan Baez’s house in the California hills. It’s 1972, and the courageous Earl Scruggs was the first (and one of the very few) major country western star to have come out against the Vietnam war.
Earl decided he wanted to expand his musical horizons, so he paid a visit to a slew of young singers, including Dylan and Baez. Documentarian David Hoffman got it all on film and turned the footage into an award winning documentary.
Here’s a scene at Baez’s home with Baez singing “Love is Just A Four-Letter Word” and Scruggs playing backup. Baez’s singing voice here is incredible, unearthly almost, just sitting there in her living room with no equipment. Earl’s talented 16 year old son Randy is on the other side of Joan, playing guitar.
