Song of the Week



Is this guitar heaven?  Well, it's a new Kurt Vile track, so pretty much.  "Wakin On A Pretty Day" is blissed-out guitar magic, another effortless yarn in his unspooling vibe.  It is always exciting when you listen to a track for the first time and instantly know that it will be one of the best tracks of the year.  I could wake up to these guitars for the next month.  The follow-up to Vile's excellent Smoke Ring for My Halo hits the shelves on April 8th.  Vile told Spin that Wakin On A Pretty Daze sounds like Fleetwood Mac's Tusk.  "It's totally our Tusk, but no cheese,  Just rock.  You turn it on and it sounds like me.  But the guitar playing is better and the ideas are new.  It's classic, it's epic, with many more solos."
