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!

Video of the Day: Early James – It Doesn’t Matter Now
Yet another stellar artist from the good Folks at Easy Eye Sound. This is the first single from Early James’ new record, Singing For My Supper, set to be released into the wild on March 13th.
Video of the Day: The Hu – Yuve Yuve Yu
Beating out some pretty heavy competition, The Hu were recently voted the Rock is the New Roll Mongolian Band of the year and, most definitely one of the more interesting bands to hit our ears in a very long time. This one is from their 2019 soon to be breaking through album, The Gereg.
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.
Cover Song of the Day: Gregg Allman – Tuesday’s Gone (Lynyrd Skynyrd Cover)
It seems natural for the mighty Gregg Allman to cover a Lynyrd Skynyrd song. Here, he does more than do the song and his great brethren band justice.
Video of the Day – Gregg Allman – Slip Away
This is from way back in the time capsule, 1998 and the Gregg Allman Just before The Bullets Fly. The video was released in 2019 has a tribute for the legendary bandleader.
Video of the Day: Waxahatchee – Fire
From their new album St. Cloud, to be released March 27th on Merge Records.
Video of the Day: Tennis – Need Your Love
Husband and wife Indie Pop duo Tennis release their first single in advance of a new record set to come out in 2020. The song has a bit of a ’60s Burt Bacharach vibe going for it that is oddly refreshing.
Video of the Day: Best Coast – Everything Has Changed
Rock is the New Roll Hall of Fame members Best Coast are back and, yes, better than ever with their new single “Everything Has Changed.” The Surf Pop esthetic is still there but they seem to be gazing a bit less down at their shoes this time around ditching that vibe for a more robust Pat Benatar sort of approach.
Video of the Day: Mike and the Moonpies – Smoke ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
Going back in time to their highly excellent 2016 Mockingbird record.
