Another eclectically cool artist from Dan Auerbach and his table from Easy Eye Sound operating out of Nashville. The new record comes out on February 22nd but here is an early listen to this one that should make Yola one of the breakthrough artists of 2019. This one would make Burt Bacharach proud.

Song of the Day: Yola – Faraway Look
The album does not come out until February but here is another first look of what you will be hearing. With a 70’s vibe that will have you digging out your Roberta Flack records, this one is a stunner.
Live Video of the Day: Beth Hart -Baby Shot Me Down
We can’t think of a better way to get the new year cranking up than to start with Beth Hart’s scorching live version. This is from her Live at the Albert Hall release. It is very much worth checking out.
Rock Chick of the Day: Brandi Carlile – Party of One
Brandi Carlile is the most nominated female artist at the upcoming 61st Grammy Awards with six nominations including Album Of The Year (By The Way, I Forgive You), Record Of The Year (“The Joke”), the song of the year (“The Joke”), Best Americana Album, Best American Roots Song and Best American Roots Performance. And yes, there is still time to get on the bandwagon.
Five Cool Ones: Five (More) Reasons Rock Is Not Dead.
Snakewater – Girl Like You
Dirty blues from Manchester England. There is a touch of Led Zeppelin, Bad Company, Peter Green and Gary Moore in their sound.
Lee Aaron – I’m A Woman
Hard Rock and Heavy Metal Queen Lee Aaron absolutely kills this Koko Taylor classic. “Shake hands with the devil, make him crawl in the sand.” Indeed.
The Bad Somethings – Let It Roll
Just about every 70’s and early 80’s is represented here, and it is awesome. Cheap Trick, Kiss, Bachman Turner Overdive, check, and check. Need more proof? “Let It Roll” is an oscure hit from the obscure 70’s Rock and Glam band Albatross. And oh yeah, lots of cowbell.
RHR (Redfern, Hutchinson, & Ross) – She Painted The Moon
Don’t sleep on these guys simply because they are miss cast often times in the AOR (Alum Oriented Rock) category. They rock with the best of them.
The Rumjacks – Cold London Rain
Enter into this carefully, these guys might become your next favorite party band if you are not careful. Full of Celtic, Folk, and Punk Rock swagger these guys stand pint for pint with The Dropkick Murphy’s.
Song of the Day: Phoebe Bridgers – Christmas
It’s Christmas and no one can fix it. A Christmas song even Grinchs’ can get behind. “Coming back from the country full of good food and lousy beer.” And yes, that is Jackson Browne singing in the background.
Live Video of the Day: Beth Hart – Lift’s You Up
From the highly excellent blue ray/DVD Live at the Royal Albert Hall
Video of the Day: Yola – Ride Out In The Country
Yola is one of the new acts that part of Dan Auerbachs group of musicians at Easy Eye Sound. Her new album, Walk Through the Fire Is due out February, 2019.
Video of the Day: Thunderpussy – Torpedo Love
Once you get past the pretty cool band name and realize that they are not some sleazy Steel Panther/Spinal Tap sort of band, you quickly realize that they offer up some really solid musical chops. They are on their way to becoming our new favorite band.
Video of the Day: Neko Case – Last Lion of Albion
The clever animation on the latest video from Neko case only serves to take an already excellent song to next-level brilliance. From her new L.P. Hell On.
