New songs for May 15th 2019

here they are:


"Bad Case" by Lukas Nelson: Can you believe Lukas' dad, Willie, has outlasted Tom Petty?! I sure can't! Yet here is Lukas doing a song that sounds strikingly similar to Tom Petty circa the late '80s when Petty was more active as a Wilbury than he was as a Heartbreaker. Both the drums and the choice of C major key recalls The Traveling Wilburys' "Last Night". Willie Nelson has become a fave of both country and rock fans, so it's great to see his son, Lukas, carry on the tradition by blending the two genres into one here.


"Heart" by Rainbow Kitten Surprise: With the funky, fresh vibes of RKS' "Fever Pitch" and "Hide", I couldn't understand why they were being compared to the more folksy side of the indie spectrum. Until now, that is. "Heart" is a sweet folk-pop song whose loving sound lives up to its title. The lyrics take a turn for the worse towards the end with the following two lines: "She's got a gun in her hands and a burden in her heart/You've got love in your hands, you got a hurt in your heart." Makes your heart skip a beat there, doesn't it?!
