Paula Boggs Band - A Finer Thread

2. A Finer Thread: “A Finer Thread” has been part of Paula Boggs Band’s repertoire for almost its entire 17 years. A folkier version appears on the band’s debut album, 2010’s Buddha State of Mind. The band has massaged “A Finer Thread” several times over the years, updating lyrics and trying out different grooves. The Sweetwater Music Hall version riffs off the band’s 2022 album Janus version and leans into the song’s present-day fusion of folk and jazz. “A Finer Thread” is this album’s only “love song” and you’ll bob your head throughout as you identify with universal lyrics like, “morning, noon and night I’m weak for you.”
