Tim Easton’s new gorgeous album American Fork came out on September 2, 2016. This is one of those co-releases with Last Chance (USA) and At The Helm Records (UK). This new one is uplifting and little adventurous, but I’m perfectly fine with that. Being miserable for no apparent reason is one of the few things I’m extremely good at, so instead of continuously relating with the saddest of songs, it’s quite refreshing to listen to such an uplifting album for a change. This album opener Right Before Your Own Eyes is so extremely catchy that it should be a hit. The kind of stuff that I would love to hear on the radio.
Steven James Adams – Kings Of The Back Of The Bus (video)
The new Steven James Adams album Old Magick came out in March on one of the most trustworthy pop labels Fortuna Pop! I’ve been a Steven James Adams fan since The Broken Family Band days and picked up this new one early in the summer. Such a good record once again. I’m very fond of the song Kings of the Back of the Bus although I wonder if I relate to it a little more than what would be advised. A music video for this great song surfaced a couple of weeks ago and you can catch that below.
Onechord.net turns 15: Bobby Emmett – Queen of Hearts
I recently learned that the magnificent Bobby Emmett plays in Sturgill Simpson’s band these days. That’s pretty cool, because I do love Sturgill. However, I still hope Bobby finds some time to write his own pop masterpieces as well. In my books, his 2009 release Learning Love is one of the finest pop albums of this current century. It was the album of the year back in 2009 and I still love it to bits. All power pop kids should have this one. It has the hooks, the melodies and it’s catchy-as-hell. Albeit Sturgill’s music might actually be closer to my current taste in music, records like this are still the foundation of music taste. Here is Queen of Hearts, the brilliant opener of Bobby Emmett’s album Learning Love.

Onechord.net reaches 15 years on September 17. Leading up to that, I will be sharing some songs that I hold dear. Songs that I’ve loved the most during the years I’ve been making this. So basicly just some nostalgic crap, but with a damn brilliant soundtrack
