JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound: I Am Trying To Break Your Heart cover
Who says I don’t take suggestions from friends and readers? If you are on the same Mayer Hawthorne, Alabama Shakes, and Fitz and the Tantrums train that I’m on, you’re gonna like JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound. Their cover of Wilco’s “I Am Trying To Break Your Heart” piles on the soul and emotion mixed with horns and handclaps shines with potential. I foresee many festival appearances in these fellas futures.

Bonus: “Everything Will Be Fine”
Muchas Gracias Jen and Ryan’s Smashing Life.

Love these guys so far! Anything that reminds me of Motown for a second gets my vote. And thanks for calling out the Wilco cover, it would have killed me.
