And we’re back!
For my second post, I’m excited to share with you one of our favorite artists, First Aid Kit. Let’s get the obvious out of the way, it’s not a good name. That being said, listening to their wonderful harmonies and well-crafted songwriting will cure whatever ails you (I know, such a cliche’). They are simply a joy to listen to.
First Aid Kit are two sisters, Johanna and Klara Soderberg, from Sweden. Growing up, they listened to a lot of Emmylou Harris, Gram Parsons, Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen, and Simon & Garfunkel (they do an amazing cover of “America”). They’ve released five full albums plus a handful of EP’s and I’m still surprised that so many people I mention them to have not heard of them. This is why I am doing this. If just one person reading this falls in love with them, I’ll be thrilled. My guess, it will be more than just one.
I’m going to stop now and let the music speak for itself. So many good songs to choose from...

“Yeah, listen, we'd love to stand around and chat, but we've gotta sit down in the lobby and wait for the limo” From Spinal Tap
Stay tuned for more music recs. Hope you find something you love.

Nice listening driving today from Phoenix to Sedona, as I approached the orange-red rocks
