Jimi Hendrix On An Acoustic Guitar
An evening pause: There are two clips, with the second beginning at 4:37. This is I think more interesting than good. The first clip is well shot, but it clearly is an unfinished music video because Hendrix himself I think was unsatisfied with his performance. The second is better performed, as it is a improvised performance at what appears to be a party. Regardless, they are worth watching because even when he played below par you can see he is playing at a level above most.

Juice Newton – Angel of the Morning
An evening pause: This was first a hit in 1968 for Merillee Rush & The Turnabouts. Juice Newton brought it back in 1981 and it was a hit again. Both versions are unique and worth listening to.
Fkj & Masego – Tadow
An evening pause: It is amazing how modern technology can allow artists like this the ability to create something so unique, so quickly, on the fly.

Birds of Flame – Open Country Joy
An evening pause: This performance is a tribute to the 1970s art-rock group, Mahavishnu Orchestra. They add a bit of country to the sound, which works surprisingly well. Ignore the bad camerawork and focus on the music, which somehow for me works for the first day of spring.
