[photogallerylink id=111587 align=left]The craft of songwriting fascinates me as much as the guitar solos. I like quirky. I like ethereal. I like emotionally eviscerated. Here are some songs that should be hard to overlook, but some of them have been.

Ryan Adams-Ashes and Fire

His XRT Holiday Concert For The Kids this year featured a solo performer who galvanized a sold out crowd at The Cadillac Palace Theater into rapturous silence. You know me. I don’t like hyperbole. Much. This is the greatest song ever written.

    Trying to find out name and artist of a song that includes the line “It” or “I” CAN MAKE YOU HAPPY! it’s areal upbeat song that I have heard on XRT several times!
