Music Friyay: The The, Lambchop, George McCrae

By Joanna C. Valente

Here’s some music, new and old, you should listen to and check out:

The The - Dusk

The The’s 1993 album is not to be forgotten. “This Is the Night” has been on repeat for me.

Lambchop - Nixon

This 2000 album is a poppy, sometimes moody, alternative rock daydream.

George McCrae - Rock Your Baby

McCrae’s 1974 album is absolutely a gift, and his voice is unforgettable.
