Continuing with the top 10 tracks from the first half of 2009 (see Day Six here):

We Are Alone In This Together – Graham Lindsey

Senator Lindsey Graham is a complete dick. Graham Lindsey, on the other hand is a complete revelation. The fact that my man Mars produces all his records is besides the point, he sings with an unsettling honesty, squeezing the pain so hard it becomes beautiful. If he can survive in the brutal music industry we’re going to be the lucky ones. Kind of like fruit that grows in the torturous rocky soil found on the slopes of steep mountain terrain. If it survives, it thrives.

We Are All Alone In This Together

I’d be curious to hear what you've been listening to so drop me a comment and let me know what made your top 10!

I’m adding wine tasting descriptor tags to these songs in order to create music set lists that pair well with wines. As this is entirely subjective, I’d enjoy hearing how you might describe this song. Post it right there, in the little box below.

Tags: Tightly structured, vivid, toasty, chewy, rugged, lean soil, edgy, earthy, woodsy, dense, tannic, single vineyard, terroir, mountain fruit. I’d pair this with a Cabernet from any of the Spring Mountain wineries like Behrens & Hitchcock, Sherwin Family or Terra Valentine.
