NEW ARTIST / REGIONAL / UP & COMER

CLASSIC

The Turtles biggest and best known hit is "Happy Together", released in 1967. The song reached #1 status on Billboard's Top Ten list and stayed there for 3 weeks, knocking The Beatles "Penny Lane" off of that spot.












WORLD MUSIC

Cinemacinco is a contemporary Columbian Folk band that came to the US to perform at the 2013 SXSW Festival. You gotta love their smooth harmonies!


 







INTERESTING COLLABORATION OR COVER

Two very different musical worlds collided when Robert Plant and Alison Kraus decided to join forces. They recorded a mixture of songs from each of them, with the other providing harmonies that surprised us with their wonderful fit. Here's one from Alison with Robert doing harmony...

...and here is one of Robert's with Alison joining in.
