Kristen’s ’10 Mix – Track 4- Joe Firstman

Posted on by Kristen

4. Joe Firstman – Pretty Things

2010 proved a good year for Joe Firstman. He released a CD, Live at The Treehouse which I think may be my favorite Joe Firstman CD since 2004’s War of Women. Joe was also a feature of my summer vacation, a trip to South Carolina to spend a weekend on the beach with a bunch of singer-songwriters at Hotel Carolina. Other highlights from that event included Matt Duke, Tony Lucca, Curtis Peoples , Jay Nash, Todd Carey, etc. “Pretty Things” was one of my favorite songs from that entire weekend…everyone knows it and everyone got up on stage to sing it.

It’s Tuesday…you know what that means! 

I’m excited about several albums that come out today so I thought I’d share:

Joe Firstman: Live At The Treehouse
my love for this man’s music will never cease…I’m really looking forward to hearing this album, which I hear is mostly stripped down remakes of older songs

Lissie: Catching a Tiger
go here to listen and watch some great videos

Filter: The Trouble With Angels
What has this band been up to since they were promoting the photography industry? I don’t know, but let’s find out shall we?

Darker My Love: Alive As You Are
I’ve been hearing a lot of buzz about this band, so I’ll be interested to see what it’s all about

Tea Leaf Green: Looking West
these guys are playing with Truth & Salvage Co. at The Troubadour on Oct. 2nd…might as well get pumped about their music because you know I’m going to be there!

Can’t wait to go buy some new music! If you’ve already checked them out, let me know what you think!
