This Scottish high-energy all girl group puts the Rock in Rock and Roll.
Video of the Day: Massy Ferguson – Maybe The Gods (feat. Adra Boo)
When you are named after a farm equipment company your hardscrabble Americana deep Roots credentials better be set in stone, and these guys don’t disappoint. With songs in the Uncle Tupelo, Jayhawks, and Backsliders mode their cinematic storytelling includes bad motels, whiskey, and long stretches down the highway.
Song of the Day: The Dead Daisies – Unspoken
With the addition of iconic singer and bass player Glen Hughes, the Dead Daisies might finally be on to something. This stellar group along with Hughes includes Doug Aldrich, Deen Castronovo, and David Lowy. The Rock and Roll band pedigree that includes Whitesnake, Journey, Deep Purple, and Dio, is second to none. If you like ’70s era rock in the mold of Bad Company, Foreigner, and Aerosmith, you will love the new incarnation of the Dead Daisies.
