The War on Drugs has been featured here a number of times, a favorite of ours for their unique sound and soaring melodies, vocals and guitars. Their latest album, "I Don't Live Here Anymore," was released last fall, and one of the tracks, "Rings Around My Father's Eyes," is an evocative, slow tempo song, sung in Dylanesque style by lead singer Adam Granduciel.
The next selections are a tribute to Procol Harum founder and lead singer / pianist Gary Brooker, who passed away last Saturday of cancer at age 76. From their first album, the iconic "Whiter Shade of Pale," and from their second album "Shine on Brightly", the single "Quite Rightly So." RIP.
