Song of the Day - December 23, 2005

Colin Spring is a great talent, a blend of Americana influenced indie folk. If you listen to him you will detect bits of Dylan, Zevon, and Springsteen. They are some pretty powerful influences, but Colin does them all justice. His album a How I Came to Cry These Tears of Cool is a beautiful album to listen to on a cold night when you are in a contemplative mood, as Colin is a great lyricist. This is an album that is definitely worth repeated listens. One of his best songs is "Life Out on the Fringe," which deals with materialism and other issues, a very poignant song.
