Song:I'm Alive
Artist:Jackson Browne, Germany
Album:I'm Alive, 1993
Notes: An absolute cracker that never charted from a singer-songwriter who couldn't be more West Coast if he tried, despite being born in Heidelberg, West Germany - his father was an American serviceman stationed there. The ever youthful Rock and Roll Hall of Famer is still feeling alive at the age of 66, and has just released a new album 'Standing In The Breach'. This track was co-produced by the legendary session guitatist Waddy Wachtel, who is also the long time guitarist for Stevie Nicks. More at jacksonbrowne.com.
Song:Hole In The Middle
Artist:Emily Jane White, Fort Bragg, CA
Album:Dark Undercoat, 2007
Notes: With lovely off-kilter, off-note light twangs going on the background chorus, this is an L&F debut for a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist based in San Francisco. She started out as somewhat of a punker at college, subsequently formed the Diamond Star Halos band but began her solo career some seven years ago. She has a bit of a niche following in France where she once lived and performed. More at emilyjanewhite.com.
Song:Long Way Down

But his favourite album-making experience, he says, is with Broken Bells, his duo with The Shins’ frontman, James Mercer, for one simple reason: “We don’t have to be nice to each other.”
For someone who takes his stage name from an intrepid cartoon secret-agent rodent, White Plains, New York native Brian Burton can come across as a bit dark. He is, after all, the guy who assisted Norah Jones’ transformation from a chilled-out songstress to a noir chanteuse singing about murder on 2012’s Little Broken Hearts. The afro-sporting keyboardist, drummer, and computer wiz can give moodiness a populist touch: his biggest hit, Gnarls Barkley’s Crazy, is built on the forlorn spaghetti-Western textures he favours. Ever since he came to prominence in 2004 with The Grey Album, which mashes up Jay-Z’s lyrics with The Beatles’
