Live Video of the Day: Blue Oyster Cult – True Confessions

On a day when Def Leppard comes out with a new song and Blue Oyster Cult rises up from the ashes promoting their new upcoming record, our collective ears are spinning not really understanding what to make of these developments. One side of our musical coin says let me enjoy these rockers the way they were meant to be heard in all their “Don’t Fear The Reaper and “Godzilla” glory, the other says why not enjoy listening to our favorite bands getting another bite at the apple. Either way, everybody wins.

Live Video of the Day: Midland – Cheatin’ Songs (Live From The Palomino)

We are trying really hard NOT to like this Dripping Springs, Texas band. With their Nudie style outfits and Cosmic Cowboy embracing 70’s Glen Campbell vibe that takes us back in a Honky Tonk time machine, it is almost as if they are trying too hard to be cool. But heck, we don’t care anymore. It is official, we dig this band!

Live Video of the Day: ZZ Top – Brown Sugar (Live From Gruene Hall)

Not that version of “Brown Sugar” this version recorded in an empty Gruene Hall is from the first ZZ Top album, ZZ Top’s First Album. The song, a relatively spartan blues number, is made that much more immediate in the intimate setting of an empty dance hall.

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.
