Etta James comes to this song with some serious directness. Miss Peaches delivers an impressively passionate, yet cool, and seductively brazen rendition of Blues singer/guitarist Muddy Waters original song I Just Want to Make Love to You. This track lays testament to all that this gloriously versatile songstress brought to music.
Etta's sonorous contralto sound and exceptional execution of vocal soul expression gave music a dynamic body of work. Etta you amaze me, thank you.

Song Of The Day: Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams//Nico
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmcVsLIu-rY
Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams is from Nico's debut solo album, Chelsea Girl. Lou Reed's dark, beautiful lyrics paired with Larry Fallon's string and flute arrangements create a most enjoyable acostical tune. It is one of my favorites from this album, and ever so fitting in NYC's current weather conditions.
The minimal string section and peculiar snowy sounding guitars accented with the flutist trills create a haunting orchestral quality that brings more a intimate reality around chanteuse Nico's monotone lament. It is esoteric perfection.
Thank you Nico//The Velvet Underground for the warm pool of luminous darkness in which I have swam this dreary day.

Song Of The Day: Marlene Dietrich//Something I Dreamed Last Night
Though this song written by Herbert Magidson, Jack Yellen and Sammy Fain has been beautifullly executed by the likes of Miles Davis and John Coltrane. However, only Marlene’s fascinatingly dark voice so unique, makes Something I Dreamed Last Night a song for me to cry with. The very talented orchestra lightly plays consistently quite emotive compliments to her glowing aubergine sound…a sound destined to turn your head down to the sorrows of the soul.
Thank you Marlene for your resolute solitary sound that speaks more to your style and sophistication than any writer ever could.
