New West Records is on our list of favorite music labels with virtually every artist in the stable right up our musical alley. In addition to Robert Ellis, the diverse artists they represent include Wild Moccasins, Andrew Combs, Seratones, and Sam Doores, all of which are very much worthy of your ear-time.

Video of the Day: Joe Mansman and The Midnight Revival Band – Sellout
Joe Mansam and his Midnight Revival band are one heck of a Rock and Roll band. Having released only a four-song e.p., they spend most of their time touring as a working band.
Video of the Day: The Dead Daisies – Mexico
The Dead Daisies are a Rock collective of musicians with a slightly varied line-up every couple of years with David Lowy acting as ring-leader as he brings together available musicians for a new tour and album. As the DNA of the band stays pretty much the same with each version of the band, straight-ahead ’70’s style Rock and Roll is the order of the day, they are always making a great music no matter who is in the band. This song goes back to 2015 with John Corabi on vocals. The band is in the process of putting together an album and tour in 2020 with Glen Hughes on bass and vocals. It should be stellar.
The video for “Mexico” that features strippers and clowns is worth the price of admission alone.
Cover Song of the Day: Dirty Honey – Last Child (Aerosmith Cover)
The band Dirty Honey hasn’t even released a proper full-length record as yet and they are already on our radar as one of the best up and coming bands of the new decade. Here, the band covers the concert staple “Last Child” from the Aerosmith Rocks album.
Video of the Day: Revolution Saints – Price We Pay
What do you get when you mix in a member of Whitesnake, a Night Ranger, and a key member of the redux version of Journey? The answer is, you get Revolution Saints courtesy of Frontier records.
This “Band” is not likely to tour, after all, Jack Blades, Deen Castronovo, and Doug Aldridge all pretty have their day jobs keeping hair metal alive. But, if you like good old fashioned melodic rock, this band, and their new record Rise, just might be your jam.
Live Video of the Day: Pike & Sutton – Bright as the Sun (Austin Music Live)
Pike & Sutton is a partnership anchored by the powerhouse vocals of Patrice Pike and the guitar mastery of Wayne Sutton. Their collective R&B, Soul and Roots-Rock sensibilities should make this duo one to watch in 2020.
Song of the Day: Caleb Caudle – Better Hurry Up
The title track for his new record to be released April 3, features John Paul White, and Elizabeth Cook.
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!
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.
