If there ever was any doubt that Suzi Quatro can still rock, her performance this year at the 2020 She Rocks Awards should dispel any of those rumors.

Video of the Day: Formosa – Sold My Soul
The newly released single from German Rock band Formasa doesn’t break much new Rock and Roll ground, but there is always room for some good old fashioned ’80s inspired kick-assery. Legit enough to open for Nazareth recently, their new record, Danger Zone, comes out in March.
Live Video of the Day: Sammy Davis Jr. – Mr. Bojangles (Live In Germany 1985)
Here at Rock is the new Roll we are big fans of Sam the Wham, Sammy Davis Jr. His rendition of Mr. Bojangles is probably our second favorite version of this Jerry Jeff song only slightly behind Nina Simone. One thing is for sure. The dude never mails it in.
Video of the Day: Smoke Fairies – Disconnect
From their recently released Darkness Brings the Wonders Home, the mood is pure midnight-noir as this U.K. duo comprised of Katherine Blamire and Jessica Davies envelope the sound space as if they both had the same voice. Moody and atmospheric in all the best of ways.
Live Video of the Day: Elle King – Down The Mountain (Live in Los Angeles)
Elle King, AKA Rob Schneider’s daughter, is definitely forging a name for herself on the music front. Here, she lays down one of the songs to be featured on her new record to be released later in the year.
Live Video of the Day: Heidi Newfield – Wrong Side of the Bottle (Music Fog)
As the center stage star of Trick Pony way back in 2001, here she steps out on her own in preparation for her second solo record The Barfly Sessions to be released later this year.
Live Video of the Day: Heart – These Dreams (Live In Seattle)
A delicately sublime version of the hit song from their 1985 self-titled 8th record.
Live Video of the Day: Midland – Cheatin’ Songs (Live From The Palomino)
Their version of Classic Country goes down as smooth as a glass of Bourbon. The good stuff.
Live Video of the Day: Aubrie Sellers – My Love Will Not Change
Live, raw, emotional and a perfect way to present one of the bell-weather songs from her latest release, Far From Home.
Song of the Day: Jonathan Wilson – In Heaven Making Love
Having been able to listen to 4 songs from this record that have been released into the wild from the upcoming March 6th release, Dixie Blur, We already have this one slated for our best of 2020 list. See if you don’t agree.
