For the one-year anniversary of the Mixtape Friday series we’re going back to basics: great songs in the verse-chorus-verse mode by rock outfits and singer-songwriter types.
Much like my first posted O’Pinionated Mix “Lost Verses” and July’s “Lost Causes”, the songs are a combination of classic favorites by folks like Tom Waits and R.E.M. as well as recent discoveries, like Port O’Brien and Boston’s own Hallelujah The Hills (whose Colonial Drones was my favorite rock album of last year). Enjoy…
(Playlist is below the fold.)
