My gal at KMTT The Mountain invited me to the CD Release party of the Mountain Music Lounge CD Volume 14 tonight at Showbox in the Market. I'm digging on the new albu, featuring popular favorites such as Feist, Jason Mraz, and KT Tunstall, comeback artist Blind Melon and some artists you may recognize as "those guys you stumbled across at Bumbershoot."

deSol (who's new release track On My Way is included on the CD) played a great show with a latin soul. Some songs were completely in spanish, others with clever lyrics, all dance-worthy, including a crowd-pleasing cover of The Stone's Sympathy For The Devil. Erin H joined me for the night and on the dance floor. There will definitely need to be more dance outings for the two of us. I was surprised to hear this was her first time to Showbox! I love that venue - it really is still my favorite place to see live music in Seattle.

Thanks to The Mountain for a fun celebration and a great CD!
