Song(s) of the Day # 4,112 Suzi Ungerleider

'All of is that came of age. Around that Johnny Thunders stage.'

Wake up little Suzi. I'm waking upon a world that's a poorer place. One that doesn't have Sly Stone in it. That's a big chunk of history ro process..

I've listened to Sly. Now Im listeing to Suzi Ungerleider's Among The Evergreens on the way to my half eight in Dussledorf. It's not Sly Stone . But it is quietly Rock & Roll. Among The Evergreens had me in the palm of its hand within about thirty seconds.. This is exacttly what I go to music for. Characterful Storytelling. 

Divided into' Then' and'Now' which let's face it all our lives are, it sketches out its American narratives of departure, passage and arrival with easeful grace.It's a record to pull up a chair to and appreciate. Ungerleider' has a layered voice and she has a way with melody, attitude and soul.

Drifting between Americana, Folk and the classic Amerucan short story. This is rich and veined reflection and experience in the Suzanne Vega, Ron Sexsmith and Anne Proulx tradition. Like having a meal inwonderful company. Splendid stuff !
