Wheat are a band that have been around since the mid 90s but I didn’t hear of them until 2003 when their third album Per Second, Per Second, Per Second…Every Second hit college radio. It had some excellent tracks such as “I Met a Girl” and “Breathe.” I dug it, but never bought it or looked into it much more. Then in 2005 I saw the excellent Cameron Crowe movie Elizabethtown, which features today’s song on its equally excellent soundtrack. “Don’t I Hold You” originally appeared on Wheat’s 1999 sophomore album Hope and Adams, and I probably wouldn’t have heard it if not for Elizabethtown. You can tell that the band has an affinity for extremely long album titles; their fourth album released earlier this year is titled Every Day I Said a Prayer for Kathy and Made a One Inch Square. I haven’t heard anything from this album nor have I heard anything else from Hope and Adams, but I can tell you that the Elizabethtown soundtrack is a good bet and probably the easiest place to find today’s song.
One new song everyday until I get tired of doing it again. Click on the artist's name to get more information about them. Click on the album art for purchase information. Click on the play button to listen for yourself. Enjoy.
