If you are looking for a vibe that is sonically a bit out there, one that would fit in just fine in an Austin Powers movie, then “How Do You Feel” by Optiganally Yours just might be your jam.

Video of the Day: The Internet – Come Over
Hive Mind, the latest record from The internet just might be your R&B Soul jam of the summer. Think an R&B version of the band Rhye on this one.
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
Rock Chick of the Day: Lindsay Ell – Criminal
A lot of Americana and Country ears are starting to tune into Lindsay Ell and her unique brand of Country Roll. Check out her one woman jam band performance in the Taste of Country studios. She is one to watch for.
Video of the Day: Willie Nelson – Summer Wind
On September 9th, Willie Nelson will release My Way a collection of songs made famous by Frank Sinatra. The songs covered will include “Fly Me To The Moon,” “I’ll Be Around,” “What Is This Thing Called Love,” a duet with Norah Jones, and of course, “My Way.”
Video of the Day: The Struts – Body Talks
“Body Talks” the first single from the upcoming album from The Struts is a scorcher and front man Luke Spiller is one of the most dynamic singers in Rock and Roll today. A bit over the top for sure but this band of retro rockers should be poised to take over the world any time now.
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.
Live Video of the Day: Paul Simon – The Boxer (Live From Here)
An excellent live version of “The Boxer” featuring Paul Simon with Chris Thile, Sarah Jarosz, Richard Dworsky and members of the Punch Brothers. This one is from Chris Thile’s live series, Live From Here.
Five Cool Ones: Five Cool Songs That Are On Our Radar
The Regrettes – Come Through
The Regrettes are one of our favorite bands, everything about them is cool from their dynamic lead singer Lydia Night to their Blondie meets The Ramones Vibe.
Church of the Cosmic Skull – Evil In Your Eye
Hands and ears down, The Church of the Cosmic Skull is our favorite new band. This one is from 2016 Album Is Satan Real. Kansas meets The Polyphonic Spree on this one.
Kurt Baker Combo – Foolish Stuff
Anytime Little Steven endorses a band and puts them on his Wicked Cool record label, they have to deliver the goods. Now, on the second single from the Let’s Go Wild record they really do.
Devotchka – Straight Shot
For a band that is heavily influenced by Gypsy music and spaghetti westerns, they play it pretty straight on “Straight Shot” the first single from their upcoming album.
Jill Barber – Girl’s Gotta Do It
The lead single from Metaphora. A girl’s got to do what a girls gotta do. Right on!
