SONG OF THE thursDAY
In the Cold, Cold Night is from The White Stripes 2003 album, Elephant, which won a Grammy for Best Alternative album and was nominated for Album of the Year. With lead vocals and percussion by Meg White, we think In the Cold, Cold Night is a slinky and simple song worth the listen.

SONG OF THE friDAY
Cold, Cold Heart was written by Hank Williams and originally released in 1951. Williams adapted it from the T. Texas Tyler song, You'll Still Be In My Heart. There have been many covers of Cold, Cold Heart, but Norah Jones's version from her 2002 album, Come Away With Me is pretty dang good.
