Eleni Mandell/Mike Gunther "Los Fishies/Water Into Wine" - Two great songs. One more country and one more blues influenced. The Eleni Mandell track is just gorgeous. Full of sensuality, sweat, and dust from riding horses out west. Nice guitar work with layers of a few other instruments and of course that voice! Mike Gunther's track is more blues sounding with harmonica, slide guitar, and a loud wailin' preachin' vocal. Try them both.
My Picks: A, B (both are great)

A) (Eleni Mandell) Slower acoustic guitar strumming. Definitely an "out on the range lazily riding a horse" feel. And of course her voice is just as smoky and sexy as ever. It's hot, dusty, and sweaty. Beautiful!!
B) (Mike Gunther) Dragging midtempo. Harmonica and slide guitar along with stomping and a wailing bluesy voice. A bit religious in nature and the song is pretty minimal, but it's nice.
