Mellow rock you can hum along to, from R.E.M. to Matt Mays. Rock with the volume set to just right.
mello rock sing song is 100 songs of mellow rock and acoustic-leaning favourites that are easy to sing along with but never too loud. R.E.M. leads with five, while Sturgill Simpson, Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder each bring three, and Matt Mays, Elton John and Hawksley Workman add East Coast and Canadian charm.
It opens with R.E.M.’s “Drive” and Tonic’s “Open Up Your Eyes,” then wanders through Sturgill Simpson’s “Turtles All the Way Down,” Metric’s “Cascades (Dirt Road Version),” Rick Astley’s surprisingly lovely acoustic “Everlong,” Blur’s “To the End,” Otherwise’s “Rebel Yell” and Genesis’ “Home by the Sea.” The whole thing feels like a quiet night with good company: warm guitars, soulful voices and choruses that make you hum without realizing it. Great for a long drive, a cozy evening, cooking dinner or sitting on the deck as the sun goes down. Rock, but with the edges softened and the volume turned to just right.
