The Viewfinder: PT Walkley’s “The Way That You Are”
Sometimes a song and a video just makes you smile. I’d been procrastinating on covering singer/songwriter PT Walkley, whose album Thriller (yeah) came out about two months ago.

Get It While You Can!: Music From Mike Doughty & Marshall Crenshaw

One guy who’s benefited from the Guitar Dude Renaissance (which has actually been happening for a decade now…geez, time flies) is singer/songwriter Matt Nathanson.
