Marc Cohn @ The City Winery, 2012 Jan 26
{This has apparently been sitting in my Drafts folder for four years. Oops. I never finished it, so it ends abruptly. -=-BLG} It’s been a while (a real long while) since I’ve gotten to a Marc Cohn show, but this … Continue reading
Marc Cohn and guests at the City Winery : 2013 Feb 14
I’ve sort of blown the deadline on my 30 Days of Marc Cohn, but I can at least offer up this playlist. 🙂 “From the Station” “Ghost Train” “Perfect Love” “The Letter” with Jon Leventhal “29 Ways” “Listening to Levon” … Continue reading
Rest for the Weary (30 Days of Marc Cohn – Day 19)
“Rest for the Weary” The Rainy Season One of the things I like about Marc Cohn is that his songs aren’t all about finding, having, and losing the girl. Every album includes very personal songs that nonetheless seem to be … Continue reading
“Girl of Mysterious Sorrow” (30 Days of Marc Cohn — Day 17)
“Girl of Mysterious Sorrow” Burning the Daze I’ll make a confession. I did not get, at first, that this song was about graveside remembrance. In fact I felt quite clever to figure it out. Listening to it again, it now … Continue reading

Walk Through the World (30 Days of Marc Cohn — Day 13)
“Walk Through the World” The Rainy Season This song holds a special place for me. Marc Cohn was a transformative album for me — heck, I even considered attending grad school at the University of Tennessee just so I could be … Continue reading
Review: Tron Uprising (Soundtrack)
Tron: Uprising (soundtrack) Joseph Trapanese This is not Daft Punk. This is not Daft Punk’s soundtrack for Tron: Legacy. Neither of those are bad things. I really enjoyed Daft Punk’s Tron: Legacy soundtrack and thought it evoked the movie’s themes flawlessly. But Uprising … Continue reading

True Companion (30 Days of Marc Cohn — Day 12)
“True Companion” Marc Cohn I’ll admit it — I was very on the fence about including this song. It’s always struck me as somewhat mushy and it so clearly is “the wedding song”. It seemed a bit trite to add … Continue reading

Perfect Love (30 Days of Marc Cohn — Day 10)
“Perfect Love” Marc Cohn This is another gentle song. It’s incredibly an incredibly sweet tale. I have to wonder if a real couple served as a model and if so, who? It’s not his parents (since we know Marc’s mom … Continue reading
