Groovy Tunes For Your Next Road Trip

Groovy Tunes For Your Next Road Trip


The James Hunter Six: Minute by Minute



I know that your itching for that first road trip of the spring.  Youve had enough of winter and you want to pack the family up and head to your favorite campground for a warm weekend getaway.  Your picturing yourself behind the wheel with the music cranked up just loud enough to drown out the sounds of chaos coming from the kids in the backseat.  Or, if your a lucky dad like me, then maybe, just maybe, your kids are starting to like some of your favorite tunes.

This afternoon I hit play on the groovy new disc by the James Hunter Six and Max and Theo immediately started to boogie woogie across the living room floor.  Their dancing and singing reminded me that they actually are starting to like real music--my music!  Last summer they learned the names of all of the artists on my favorite road mix--and they learned some of the lyrics too.  They memorized all of the words (the important ones anyway) to Eric Churchs "Springsteen" and they particularly loved belting out the "whoa oh oh oh ohs" from the back seat of our Chevy Silverado. At the beginning of each song they would also ask to see the picture of the artist on my iphone screen.  They were particularly impressed by Eric Churchs dark beard, sunglasses, and trucker hat.  Note to Eric; my 3 year old twins think you are the definition of cool.

But this spring its time for some fresh road tunes and the new album by the James Hunter Six, Minute by Minute,  is about to go into heavy rotation.  Hunter and his band look and sound like they stepped out of a time machine from a simpler and more soulful time--and each song sounds like a classic from the golden age of radio.  But its all just brand new blue-eyed soul from one of Englands finest crooners.  Hunters voice and his bands crisp and classy backing (on saxophones, drums, keyboards,stand-up bass, and guitar) are irresistible.  This is the album for your next road trip and it will also sound great around the campfire at night.  Whether your drinking milk or Merlot get ready to dance and shake away those winter blues.  Just remember--quiet time starts at 10:00 PM...
