New Music "Pick of the Week!"

"THE ADVENTURES OF RAIN DANCE MAGGIE"-RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS

Not a whole lot of happiness for my ears this week.  If fact, I'm recommending a track I first heard last month.  It just took several listens before I really began to like it.


The song is "The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie", a funky little jam from the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the band's first new single in almost four-years.  (The parent album I'm With You should be out at the very end of this month.)  Chili Peppers' lead vocalist Anthony Kiedis explained, "It's just a collection of memories and people along the way that had maybe left my consciousness until I heard that music, and then they kind of came dancing back into my consciousness, and out the old pen onto the paper."

I think you'll discover that this bass-laden groove has just the right amount of cow bell.
