On Tour Together ! Yes. Have you really, really, really read the title of this post ? So what else to expect from me ? First, some excuses : I’m really late posting about two of the most talented songwriters (yes I really measure these words) who are touring for some months now !

Following Under The Blacklight’s retro AOR sound which brought Fleetwood Mac’s classic period to mind, Rilo Kiley’s Jenny Lewis has turned her attention back to her solo work and unleashes her Acid Tongue on this new release.

So it’s been a busy time… many stuff to deal with, preparing everybody before the first snow falls… Excuses.

This one is going to be a keeper folks, the fourth installment of If You Haven’t Heard - “Donovan Woods”.  Oh, did I mention we also have an unreleased new song as well??  Well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

The boys haven’t checked in for a few months…so it’s great that our pals at VIMBY have put together this sweet vid to help us relive the HOT show in July. If you haven’t already bought the album - it’s out now!
