Grandaddy was a pretty cool indie rock band from California. They released four studio albums in their duration as a band, along with several EPs and appearances on compilations discs. I was first introduced to them in 2003 after hearing “Now It’s On” the first single from their third album Sumday. I was taken in by the catchy guitar hook, the cool keyboard elements and singer Jason Lytle’s unique voice. I was intrigued, but not sold until I heard today’s song on The World Café with David Dye. “El Caminos In the West” conjures images of just that: driving across the desert with the windows down. For some reason, I always match certain songs with certain times of the year and this is definitely a Spring driving song. Grandaddy released one more album in 2006 entitled Just Like the Fambly Cat and called it quits shortly thereafter. I didn’t hear very much from that record but I can say that Sumday is definitely worth checking out.
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.
