Minnesota Monday - Romantica

I've been wanting to feature more Minnesota artists lately, and I received a great suggestion to do "Minnesota Mondays." So that is what I am going to do. Here is your first official Minnesota Monday.

Romantica is a folky band based out of Minneapolis. I first heard of them when someone did a cover of one of their songs at a small acoustic coffee-house type performance here in New York. I immediately fell in love with that song, "The National Slide" and thus quickly looked them up. Their album, "America," made Paste Magazine's Top 100 albums of 2007 list (they were #58) and if Paste Magazine likes them, you know they're good. "America" makes you want to sit back, relax and reminisce. Or maybe go on a scenic drive in the country. It has all the nostalgia of good ol' American folk music.
