Video of the Day: Eric Church – Desperate Man
Eric Church is walking that delicate line between Rock and Roll and Country Music quite nicely. If you haven’t checked out his 61 Days in Church series of live performances do yourself a favor and Rock On. Among other tasty covers he handles “The Ballad of Curtis Loew,” “The Weight,” “Screw You, We’re From Texas,” and “Lodi” quite nicely. On “Desperate Man,” his latest single and video, the surprise guest appearance of the great Ray Wylie Hubbard is worth the price of admission alone.
Video of the Day: Lindsay Ell – Criminal

Song of the Day: The Black Lillies – Midnight Stranger
The new record does not come out until September, however any song that can rhyme sangria and Cataline is pretty cool in our book. The vibe here is Marshall Tucker Band Country Soul.
