Going back in time to their highly excellent 2016 Mockingbird record.

Live Video of the Day: Mike and the Moonpies – Might Be Wrong (Live On The Texas Music Scene))
Mike and the Moonpies along with Micky and the Motorcars are two of the best Country acts working the Honky Tonk scene today. They both are great live acts with dirt country Roots Rock sensibilities along with solid songwriting.
Live Video of the Day: Trigger Hippy – Pretty Mess (Bing Lounge)
The Joan Osborne version of Scott Gorman’s post Black Crowes band is right up there and on par with the music they are putting out now with their new record, Full Circle & Then Some.
Cover Song of the Day: Rival Sons – Long As I Can See The Light (Creedence Clearwater Revival Cover)
Recorded back in 2015 for Record Story Day Jay Buchanan and Rival Sons pretty much slay on their soulful slightly laid back version.
Live Video of the Day: Rival Sons – Open My Eyes (Live at the Compound)
Rock is definitely not dead if Rival Sons have anything to say about the matter. This one is a live semi-studio version of the song from March 2019.
Song of the Day: Tennessee Jet – Crystal Blue (The Ballad of Jesse Pinkman)
An outtake from his 2015 recording sessions for his debut self-titled Tn. Jet gives his take on the life and times of Jesse Pinkman, the character from Breaking Bad.
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.
Video of the Day: Jack J Hutchinson – Kiss Your Ass Goodbye
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.
