Song of the Day - June 16, 2006

The Society of Rockets sophomore effort, Where the Grass Grows Black, combines elements of Neil Young with their psychedelic San Francisco roots. The two best songs on the album are the ethereal "The Longest Mile You'll Ever Walk" and "Old Glory." Of the two, I would give the edge to "Old Glory" an eleven minute epic of melancholy vocals, keyboards, horns, guitars, drums, and bass. The song meanders along a path accented with occasional bursts of guitar and horns. This is a song for a dog days of summer. Click here to listen.
