My friend, Candice, led me to this song, which I really like.
I went to Tift’s MySpace music page, and I really liked her self-description of her sound: “…maybe a little like if Creedence Clearwater Revival had a girl singer who loved Dusty Springfield and Bruce Springsteen and old french movies and played a real warm summer night right after a thunderstorm…but really…I’m pretty sure I just sound like me.”
Enjoy.
I, too, have recently discovered Tift and various other Folk/Americana singers. FWIW here’s a list of my favorites with a song I like to give a listen.
Steve Earle (Copperhead Road)
Kathleen Edwards (Back to Me)
Griffin House (Tell Me a Lie)
Brandy Carlile (Hiding My Heart Away)
Ray Lamontagne–My personal favorite–(Trouble)
Amos Lee (Keep It Loose, Keep It Tight)
Ryan Adams (Answering Bell)
Old Crow Medicine Show (Wagon Wheel)
Colin Hay–Formerly of Men At Work–(Just Don’t Think I’ll Ever Get Over You)
The Jayhawks (Save It For A Rainy Day)
Old 97’s (Bloomington, Time Bomb)
Emmy Lou Harris (Boulder to Birmingham)
Derek Webb (Mockingbird)
Now you are officially my hero. You’ll keep me busy tapping into the wonderful world of music, and I need the guidance!
