Ed Askew: For the World
I discovered Ed Askew in a time where he was producing videos with a webcam, where you can hear the squeaking chair, keys pressed, the coughing to tune the voice or the opening of the harmonic box. The first post about him on "Unisex Music" is dated March 27, 2011. At the time, the suggested video, "Blue Car", had only 74 views and 2 likes. Today it has 324 views and 5 likes. I showed it to many people and they all ignored my admiration. It was an heresy in a world where the stage, the funny faces, the eyebrows or the boobs count more than the message (Sabrina, you're the exception because you can combine the "two" things). I still like this musician and his music with the same intensity, if not more, than that I felt at the time. Ed recently released a new album, "For the World", and it is highly recommended. A genius, a true genius.

Matt Elliott: The Right to Cry
If I had to pick a dozen of the best albums of recent years, I have no doubt that the previous record of Matt Elliott, "The Broken Man", would be there. And if he had not time to think, it would to be on a "Top 3". The new album 'Only Myocardial Infarction Can Break your Heart" follows the same style and with the same quality. If the song had not more than 17 minutes, I would say that is an excellent sample of what can be found there. Instead, I have to say that in this song you can hear much of the excellent disc.

Van Morrison: Brown Eyed Girl
This was the song that made Morrison turn his back on the "mainstream". Apparently, the man was forced to do playback on TV; he hated it and said he can't lip-sync. From this video you can't tell...

Tim Hardin: How can We Hang on to a Dream (II)
Although at a time where Tim is not at his best, it's always good to return to this fantastic song.
