Song of the Day: The Lemon Twigs – No Ones Hold You (Closer Than The One You Haven’t Met)
Another glam-tastic new single from the highly anticipated Lemon Twigs record expected to be released later in the year. Jellyfish meets Queen on this one.
Video of the Day: Lori McKenna – The Balladeer
The first single from Lori McKenna’s recent record is a blissful ballad that details the pathos of a struggling balladeer trying to make it in the music business. “They’re never going to play her on the radio, so she hangs in the darkest bars with downtrodden broken hearts.”
Video of the Day: Dawes Who Do You Think You’re Talking To
Another sterling example of the right in your own living room writing style courtesy of the best Laurel Canyon Band in the game today, Dawes. This rockier side of the band evokes Jackson Browne’s’ “Somebody’s Baby,” and that’s never a bad thing.
Video of the Day: Goldray – Eyes
With a new Goldray record out there in the near horizon here is one from their 2017 record, Rising.
Song of the Day: Delvon Lamar Organ Trio – Inner City Blues
The Delvon Lamar Organ Trio is bringing back Booker T and the MG’s one cool Hammond organ at a time.
Video of the Day: Nick Marsh – Crazy Eyes
The posthumous release after passing away from cancer of Flesh For Lulu vocalist Nick Marsh. Completed after his death by partner Katherine Blake, his music has been described as moonshine-skewed gypsy blues.
Song of the Day: Secret Machines – Everything Starts
There is a slight Lindsay Buckingham and Fleetwood Mac vibe to this new song from the Secret Machines (Brandon Curtis, Josh Garza) upcoming release.
Video of the Day: David Ramirez – Will You Lead Me
David Ramirez is very much one of those under the radar Americana artists that deserve more ear-play. Here is one of his latest singles from his new record, “My Love Is A Hurricane.”
Song of the Day: Celisse Henderson – Stuck On You Blues
Championed by Lizzo, played guitar in Melissa Etheridge’s band, and is the one woman campaign crew and champion for bringing Sister Rosette Tharpes’s music to the masses, Celisse Hudson with her debut record coming out towards the end of the year just might be the next big thing.
