Song of the Day: Celisse Henderson – Stuck On You Blues

Championed by Lizzo, played guitar in Melissa Etheridge’s band, and is the one woman campaign crew and champion for bringing Sister Rosette Tharpes’s music to the masses, Celisse Hudson with her debut record coming out towards the end of the year just might be the next big thing.

Album of the Day: Petter Himmelman – Press On

Peter Himmelman – Press On (4 out of 5)

It is pretty hard to believe that Peter Himmelman is 15 albums in and has been applying his trade since 1986 with on solid effort after another, and his latest, Press On, is certainly no exception. Recorded live in-studio this one runs the cool-genre spectrum from Roots Rock to Gospel, To Country with a little bit of Rock & Roll and beyond.

“Press On,” the title track is a Gospel tinged narrative beauty and rides the same bus as Elvis Costello and Graham Parker, while the rest of the record carries that same working man’s hardscrabble songwriting flair. Even though the record was recorded in just under four days nothing about his feels rushed, just another troubadour doing what he was born to do.

Video of the Day: A Thousand Horses – A Song To Remember

A Thousand Horses has a record coming out later this year. Here, is their latest single, a swaying breakup song anthem. “Take a short cut to the jukebox to a bar stool and a pack of smokes even though I  quit.”

 

“A Song To Remember is about being stuck in the purgatory of heartbreak and dealing with the rollercoaster of emotions that comes along with it,” says guitarist Bill Satcher, of the latest heartwarming anthem from Nashville’s countrified foursome A Thousand Horses. One of those arm-swaying singalongs you could readily imagine being played in arenas, while retaining a dive bar-friendly sense of contemplation intimacy.
