honeyhoney Song of the Day

There's so much to like about this live version of "Come on Home" from First Rodeo and little-to-nothing to dislike. I love the opening, which was unexpected but nice. It's always a pleasure to hear Ben and Suzanne singing together. I like Suzanne's fiddle playing. I like how the song starts off calm and then ramps up the energy level as it continues. I love how Suzanne just gets into the song. She doesn't just sing the lyrics; she feels the song.

I have a feeling Suzanne Santo and Ben Jaffe are going to put on an unforgettable show this Saturday.

Oh, such a treat for you today. To make up for my long weekend (I saw The Avengers on Friday. That took precedence over EVERYTHING), here are FOUR videos, three from Billy Jack and one from First Rodeo. We've got "Ohio," "Old School Friends," "L.A. River," and "All on You." And I've got less than a week before I see honeyhoney in concert. What a fun, sexy time for me.



I haven't brought him up much because Suzanne is the lead singer, but damn, Ben Jaffe is a fine guitar player, and his voice is not unpleasing. "Old School Friends" is a great duet, and Jaffe gets to shine a little more. This song also makes me feel incredibly nostalgic for my youth in Jasper, IN, and for all the people I left behind when I moved to Tennessee. I miss them all, even the people I didn't like.



I couldn't find a live version of "L.A. River," but this short film uses it, so here you go.



The video quality of this last song isn't all that great, but the audio comes through nice a clear.

Since this is a song-of-the-day feature, I HAD to put up a song, so here's a live version of "Give Yourself to Me." It's awesome. Enjoy.



What I REALLY wanted to post are these two candid, behind-the-scene videos. I love it when we get to see the human side of these people we admire. Before seeing these, I was already a bit smitten with Santo because of her voice and her extreme prettiness. Now I find out she's a bit of a smart ass with an awesome sense of humor? Swoon.

This might be the most country-like of all of honeyhoney's country-like songs, but that hasn't stopped me from loving it. Of course, Santo could probably make me like any genre that she's singing. It's that voice. That wonderful, wonderful voice.



I also realize that I forgot yesterday's honeyhoney song, and I apologize for that. So here's a double-dose today. Hows about a live version of "Not for Long"? Will that do it? I hope so.

It's a great band, they're a great duo, she's pretty damn hot, AND they're socially conscious. Here is today's honeyhoney Song of the Day, a live version of "I Don't Mind" from Billy Jack. This video was produced for Feed Them with Music, and you can learn more about them here.

I'm surprised that I haven't already posted the official video of "Little Toy Gun," but today I wanted to find a live version. It's a slower arrangement of the song and totally acoustic. It's raw and unpolished, and it's awesome. Suzanne and Ben look like they're have SOOOO much fun. No I'm even more excited to see them live. I don't like going to shows and hearing a CD. I want to experience the band and the music. I want to enjoy myself, and I want to see that the band is enjoying themselves, that they're not just going through the motions.

Song of the Day

The only videos I could find of this song were static pictures with the song playing over them. That's not fun to watch. I couldn't even find any live versions. So here's a Spotify link to Switchfoot's "Monday Comes Around." I guess it's not the Video of the Day now.
