“Brand New” Songs, Vol. 1

Seems a bit odd to post a set of "Brand New" Songs on Throwback Thursday. But, fret not – the words "Brand New" only appear in the titles of each song, which in no way means that the songs themselves are "brand new." In fact, well-nigh half of these are genuine "throwbacks." So, don't wrestle with the details like I just did. Simply enjoy!  ~  JH
