I love artists who can sit down with an instrument and sing their asses off with little or no pomp and circumstance. Susan Calloway delivers that in this most excellent live performance of her original song titled Chasin The Sun. First saw this video below a few years ago and I still love to crank it up regularly and ponder her words that reflect on that dose of reality dreamers with big ideas are faced with as they are often kicked to the curb, but manage to get up again and keep going. Whether one loves the song or not, it's a song with legs that keeps selling and selling and selling in good numbers for any artist, indie or major. She may not yet be a household name in America, but she is organically growing a strong international following by traveling and playing shows around the world.
Typically don't feature cover songs here, but loving this inspired group known as Lake Street Dive performing their rendition of The Jackson 5 hit "I Want You Back", live on a Boston sidewalk. It's from their EP titled Fun Machine, which is available on iTunes. Enjoy!
