TravelTracks keeps seeing promos for the TV show “Rescue Me,” and a clip of music in them has piqued this blog’s interest! The voice is deep and throaty, and lyrics are “yooo, yooo, yo, yo, yo.” Perhaps you’ve heard it. Well, that voice is Michael Franti of the group Spearhead, the song is “Yell Fire,” and you can check out a video of a live performance of it right here. The politics of the tune are on the liberal fringe, but the groove is good–think reggae with an aggressive edge.

For something on the lighter side, watch “Say Hey.” It’s joyous and infectious—guaranteed to improve your mood.
