Good Things Not To Waste
This week's list of Good Things should not go to waste. We have a classic song, recycled. There are food scraps, saved. Finally, decades of IKEA catalogs rescued from the trash bin.
Thing to Hear: Right Down The Line
I'm not acquainted with the deep cuts of Bonnie Raitt, but the songs I do know are some of the most beautiful I've heard. I Can't Make You Love Me? Just try not to get goosebumps. It's always daunting to cover someone with a delivery as soulful as Raitt's so I was extra-impressed by Sam Evian's cover of her grooving love song Right Down The Line.
If you've never heard of Sam Evian before, groove is really only word you need to know. He's a master of groove and retro sounds. For evidence, look no further than this cover.

I'm especially enamored with his 2016 album, Premium. Bandwidth well spent.
