Updated my review of “make-out” music with examples of said tunes. You may listen freely here. But a caution: These songs are from a collection called “Music for Love.” You may find your inhibitions under attack.
Ray Wallace, the Troubled Troubador, returns, this time taking inspiration from both Pete Seeger and Bob Dylan in putting one of the “Songs of the Suffering Servant” to music. He calls it “Isaiah 53 Revisited.” We call it “catchy.”
Watch it at YouTube, as I haven’t uploaded it here yet.
The Troubled Troubador, Ray Wallace, favors us with another of his trademark songs, “Death to SMERSH,” captured live in Sligo Creek Park in Silver Spring, Md., on a chilly afternoon. Once again, Mr. Wallace puts his fascination with ’60s pop culture, Cold War politics, and WWII iconography through the psychoanalytic blender for a fevered trip down recovered-memory lane.

If you’re unfamiliar with the song stylings of Ray Wallace, let this be a quick introduction. Mr. Wallace dropped by a while ago to favor us with a few tunes he’d been working on.

I think you’ll enjoy this ode to I Dream of Jeannie, and other things. (More to follow; keep watching the skies.)
