Five Cool Ones: Five Cool Live Performances

5

Elton John and Miley Cyrus – Tiny Dancer

A captivating performance from the 60th annual Grammy Awards.

Tedeschi Trucks Band – Everybody’s Talkin

This might be pound for pound the best cover version of “Everybody’s Talkin” written by Harry Nilsson. To our ears anyway.

Paul McCartney (feat. Billy Joel) – Le It Be

Live from Shea Stadium in 2008 Billy Joel pops in on Paul McCartney for a stirring rendition of “Let It Be.”

Rival Sons – Electric Man

Rival Sons Jay Buchanan prowls the stage like some sort of crazy hybrid of Jim Morrison, Eddie Vedder and Robert Plant.

Beth Hart and Joe Bonammasa – I’d Rather Go Blind (Live In Amsterdam)

If you haven’t seen the live video Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa Live in Amsterdam right that wrong post haste. You will be a better person for it.

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!
