Video of the Day: Futurebirds – Teamwork
Teamwork, the newly released record from Athens, Ga. based Futurebirds is well worth your ear-time and is already announcing itself as a worthy entrant on anyone end of the year list. Their blend of Country-tinged Roots Rock and three-part harmonies are partly laid back chill listens and part psychedelic head-trip slices of escapism.
Video of the Day: Katie Pruitt – Expectations
In some circles singer-songwriter, Katie Pruitt has been described as the female Jason Isbell, but she prefers to see herself as more of a Sheryl Crow vibing artist. Either way, we are looking forward to her debut album, Expectations, scheduled for release on February 21st.
Video of the Day: Ashley McBryde – Martha Divine
Ashley McBryde certainly stands out from the current crop of Nashville artists. Much less glossy and a lot more tattoo-centric than her contemporaries she has a bit more grit than one would expect. We’re not sure if “Martha Dive,” her latest song and video, is the first murder ballad of the year or not. Check it out and let your own eyes and ears be the judge.

A gritty blend of Zakk Wylde, The Black Crowes, and Black Sabbath this Blues Rocker put himself on the musical map with his 2019 record, Who Feeds The Wolf.
Video of the Day: Gab De La Vega – XYZ

Video of the Day: Jose Feliciano – The Chain (Fleetwood Mac Cover)
Jose Feliciano is back doing his thing and he has been very much been missed. This version of Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain” allows Jose to put his guitar mastery on full display with a show that would make Lindsay Buckingham proud. This is his best cover song since the cover song hall of fame worthy, “Light My Fire”.
Song of the Day: Jacques Dutronc, Iggy Pop, Diana Krall – C’est Si Bon
with a pairing that can only be made in musical heaven, Jacques Dutronc, the son of French Icons Jacques Dutronc and Francoise Hardy Joins Iggy Pop and Diana Krall on a song that is perfectly suited for the three of them. Look for this to appear later this year on the unironically titled Jacques Dutronc album, Frenchy.
Cover Song of the Day: I’m With Her – Lover’s Return
Much in the mold of The Highwomen, I’m With Her is a supergroup of three very talented singer-songwriters in Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz, and Aoife O’Donovan. Here, the trio covers a song that was included on the record when Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris got together to record Trio and Trio II. This one is from Trio II.
