Music Friyay: Mort Garson, Neil Young, The Dears
By Joanna C. Valente
Here’s some music, new and old, you should listen to and check out:
Mort Garson - Mother Earth’s Plantasia
Do yourself a favor and listen to this 1976 album. It’ll calm you down.
Neil Young- “Vacancy”
Who doesn’t want to listen to a newly released Neil Young song? The song is part of his new album (unreleased for decades) will be out on June 19.
The Dears - Lovers Rock
The band just released their new (and eighth album). While some of it can feel a bit stale, “No Place on Earth” and “Play Dead” are great songs.
