BoomBox is a duo that originated in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Their second album, titled downriverelectric, was recommended to me by a friend, and currently available as a download only.
Mr Boogie Man highlights their creative and eclectic mixture of ~1970s jam band and modern electronic artistry, the former not surprising, given one of the duo's ties to the Grateful Dead.
Frankly, I'm not enough of an expert to place this music into any of the myriad, thinly sliced musical genres. It sounds catchy to me though. Give it a listen.

The Avett Brothers - I and Love and You
The DJ on KBCO this evening said he "couldn't get enough of this song."
I concur.
It's been a good several months since I've heard something both new and good on the radio, so here's something new for you. It's a poetic, mournful, folk-sounding track, which almost reminds me of Cat Stevens. And there's that piano again!
The flow of the lyrics sounds a little rushed at times, but the poetry they've written here is delightful.
"That woman, she's got eyes that shine, like a pair of stolen, polished dimes."
Yes, dear reader. It's a hidden gem.
