Thesixtyone.com is a music discovery website (I’ve written about my interest in music discovery websites before). You can find “All Her Little Secrets” here.
According to their website:
“On thesixtyone, new artists make music and listeners decide what’s good. We’re nurturing a growing ecosystem where talented folks can sell songs and merchandise directly to their fans.
…
We’re named after Highway 61, a U.S. route that runs along the Mississippi River and marks the origin of American music culture. Muddy Waters, Bob Dylan and B.B. King rode the 61. Elvis grew up in the housing projects along it. Highway 61 was the road by which people left their homes to take their music to the world.”

Flashback Friday: Big Country performs ‘In A Big Country’

Whew. This barely made it through editorial in time. But like a lover’s voice across the mountainside, it stayed alive. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this flashback performance from Top of the Pops (in 1983 according to the YouTubes).
