I've been meaning to make this mix for a while now. It finally come to fruit last week and finished late last night. The premise is simple - modern day bands making the kind of music that owes more than a little debt to the acts that dominated AM Radio in the 70s. Bands like Supertramp, Steely Dan, Doobie Brothers, The Eagles, America. Bands that aren't quite as hip as they should be. But my word could they make a great pop tune. Great harmonies, beautiful melodies, luscious strings. Yum!

I went to high school with the guy behind Maplewood. I was just telling Gary last night that Fleet Foxes remind me of 70s bands (the harmonies).
Okay, it's funny that the track is called Maplewood, because the band has exactly the sound you were trying to capture in this mix. Here's their MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/maplewood
