“Never Going Back Again” by The Vitamin String Quartet (VSQ)
Published June 26, 2012
Click here for mp3
The Vitamin String Quartet, or VSQ, is a collaboration of a small rota of Los Angeles area musicians, classically trained, who play popular music which sounds like fine art. The fact that they’ve recorded nearly 300 albums sounds robotic and formulaic. Even if that is true, the music is a pleasure to listen to, energizing, and brings knowing smiles, to hear the familiar in such an unfamiliar way.
Today’s HarryShots Song of the Day is Fleetwood Mac’s “Never Going Back Again.” President Clinton‘s theme song, in the hands of the Vitamin String Quartet, is fresh and fine. HL
