Another great find from Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound, Jimmy “Duck” Holmes is almost the very definition of The Mississippi Delta.

Video of the Day: The Darkness – In Another Life
Justin Hawkins and The Darkness show that they can take it low and slow with this ballad from their 2019 record, Easter Is Cancelled.
Video of the Day: The Picturebooks – You Can’t Let Go (feat. Chrissie Hynde)
This bad-ass Blues Rock two-piece mellows their vibe only slightly on this collaboration with The Pretenders Chrissie Hynde.
Live Video of the Day: Marcus King and Dan Auerbach – Beautiful Stranger (Live at Easy Eye Sound)
Two of my favorite artists performing live from Easy Eye Sound, our favorite record label. Marcus Kinging is getting ready to release his solo debut later this year.
Video of the Day: Alison Krause and Robert Plant – Gone, Gone, Gone
From the highly excellent record Raising Sand from way back in the day, circa 2007. Plant and Krause were the best Rock God/Americana Icon pairing this side of Emmylou and Mark Knopfler.
Live Video of the Day: Beth Hart – Woman Down (Unplugged at Home)
Just Beth and her piano, live from Beth’s House.
Live Video of the Day: Dave Alvin – Johnny Ace Is Dead (Live From Darryl’s House)
Here, live from Darryl’s House, Dave Alvin weaves the tale of the last night on earth for Johnny Ace.
Video of the Day: Tainted Lady – Hey Mr. Music Man
Slide right past the horrendous band name and let the music do the talking. Hailing from Denmark, these guys have a unique late ’70s sound that brings to mind Early Styx or a less Proggy Kansas.
Video of the Day: Henry’s Funeral Shoe – High Shoulders Everywhere
Their 2019 record, Smart Phone Rabbit Hole, is a under-heard gem courtesy of two brothers from Wales.
Video of the Day: Blackwater Conspiracy – Goodbye To Yesterday ( Say Hello to Tomorrow)
Very much in the stones, Faces, and more contemporary Black Crowes mold, there is a new record to look forward to in 2020.
