The Errant Charm, the latest album from Vetiver, finds the San Francisco folkies opening up their sound while staying true to the mellow, emotionally subtle tone of their previous work. The group sounds remarkably confident and at ease as they venture out of their comfort zone, embracing chiming country rock guitar leads on "Wonder Why" and "Hard to Break," shuffling organ-driven rock on "Ride Ride Ride" and crisp beats on the standout tracks "Can't You Tell" and "Fog Emotion." The Errant Charm will hit stores on June 14th, but you can stream it in its entirety now and pre-order the album from Amazon or iTunes.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
