Song of the Day #1,347: ‘It Might as Well Be Spring’ – Doris Day
Song of the Day #1,346: ‘Spring Fever’ – Elvis Presley
Song of the Day #1,345: ‘Spring is Here’ – Frank Sinatra
Tomorrow marks the first day of Spring. And more important, today marks the first day of Spring Break for my wife and kids.
I’m taking the week off as well, both from work and Meet Me in Montauk. In place of actual blog posts this week I will post five songs about (or at least containing the word) spring.
Kicking things off is Ol’ Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra.
Song of the Day #1,344: ‘All Good Things’ – Jackson Browne
A year and a half ago, I posted my first Jackson Browne song on the blog in response to a commenter’s repeated outrage that I’d posted plenty of songs by artists he deemed less worthy than Mr. Browne without ever giving Jackson his due.
Today, thanks to Random Weekends, I’m posting my second Jackson Browne song. Listening to the track, I’m struck by how easy he is to listen to… he has a wonderful voice and a smooth, laid-back style. I like Browne a lot better than The Eagles and their ilk, even though I’m sure he’d be classified as their ilk (in fact Don Henley sings backup on today’s SOTD).
