Griffin House – The Guy That Says Goodbye To You Is Out Of His Mind
Griffin House is a pretty good songwriter. This song, one of my favorite love songs, is a particularly well written one. It’s an oldie but a goodie. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsnlrXza57o]

Joshua Hyslop – Where the Mountain Meets the Valley
Every time we do a year end, best of list, we inevitably leave albums and songs off of our list. Sometimes it takes us months to hear those albums, other times, like this time, it takes us a day. Joshua Hyslop is an …
