Andrew Vol. 1 - CM Review

This is a review of Andrew's first effort, or at least his first contribution to Drop(Box) Beats.  This is an eclectic mix of music, and I appreciate that a great deal.  At first listen, I was out of my mind excited because I've been on an all out search for more Patrick Sweany type artists that I could formulate a new long playlist to.  Andrew has hit the mark by including Roadkill Ghost Choir, Gary Clark Jr., The Blackwater Fever, Jack White, Wolfmother and Black Joe Lewis.  I'll be enlisting his help to make a truly awesome blues rock playlist.  Anybody else that thinks they can help are invited as well.

OK, back to the playlist review.  My favorite song was "Bitch, I love you" by Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears. Mainly because he has the raspy soulful voice that I love, and its a great song to boot.  I'm going to have to check out their other music, as I have a feeling I'll like them a lot. My other favorites on the disc were "Beggars Guild" and "Love Train".  Other notables include "Ellis Island" which sounds like an Irish folk song, and enjoyable one at that.  I also really enjoyed honeyhoney's cover of 1979, very nice addition.

I wasn't a huge fan of The National or Hanni El Khatib.  Although I'd be open to listening to more of their stuff, as they may have some other good material.  Thanks for contributing, and here's to hoping you upload some other fine playlists in the near future.
