Matt King "Eden's Apple"

Valentine's Day. Awww. Don't forget your sweetie, that is if you have one. I like how our holidays are so color coded these days that when you walk into the aisle at CVS to buy a greeting card, you are assaulted with the color of that month's "holiday." So we are all pink and red and rosy, and about to be emerald green next month. Blink! All of the Music Fog men are married, and all are doing something special for their Valentine today. Salut! L'Chaim. Love and kisses and candy and flowers and liquor, and dinner out, and then there should be song.

Matt King is our message delivery system for Cupid's quill. "Eden's Apple" is an attraction song, rich with the ache of lust. It comes from his album Rube. We recorded him solo during our foray up to Steamboat Springs for MusicFest in January. He was telling us that Jack White had done a session with his father Jerry, who is an auctioneer. Jack White is releasing a 45 with Jerry King, an instructional on auctioneering, and Matt got to hang out in the studio to watch it all.

Matt King for you now with "Eden's Apple." Yum.
