Brainwaves – Feb. 9, 2021 – Gold rush for great music
Written by Brian Blum on 09/02/2021
There’s so much great music in this week’s Brainwaves, we had to call it a “gold rush.” Seven “golden” songs from Looking Glass, 10,000 Maniacs, Ed Sheeran, Mates of State, the Stranglers, Snow Patrol and Golden Earring. Plus a set of crying music from Gomez, Said Cleeves, Victor Malloy and John Fullbright.
