The Glen Hughes era Deep Purple is arguably the best of many configurations of The Purple. With Glen Hughes and David Coverdale it is hard to argue.

Video of the Day: Mumford and Sons – Guiding Light
Mumford and Sons are back and they never really ever went anywhere after pretty much creating their own genre. Sort of.
Video of the Day: The Struts – Primadonna Like Me
Pound for pound our favorite new band. These guys get it. Great music chops, cool image, and they are starting to build a stable of videos to complement an already ready for prime time all around package. Here is their latest video.
Video of the Day: Twin Shadow (feat. HAIM) – Saturdays
George Lewis Jr., better known as Twin Shadow is a musician and D.J. Out of Los Angeles, Ca. “Saturdays,” a song that features HAIM on backing vocals is a dance-a-long ear worm sort of song that will put a smile on your face and a pep in your step.
Video of the Day: Buxton – Jan
This Houston by way of La Porte, Tx band has recently signed with New West Records. If this sweet slice of Folk Pop is a sign of things to come, it was a very wise move.
Song of the Day: Erin Enderle – World Without Willie
I am not sure any of us would want to live in a world without Willie. In a world without Willie that whiskey river runs dry.
Song of the Day: Cordovas – I’m The One Who Needs You Tonight
It helps that everyone in the East Nashville band Cordovas is a lead singer. Even better when your latest record, That Santa Fe Channel, is produced by Kenneth Pattengale of The Milk Carton Kids who brings a sparseness to the songs that serves to enhance the vocal harmonies. “I’m The One Who Needs You Tonight” is one of the first songs the band played and has been a staple in their sets from the beginning.
Video of the Day: Cordovas – Frozen Rose
Whatever you do, don’t discount Cordovas as just another of those Nashville bands. Sure, they make their home in one of America’s true music hubs, but that is only part of the story here. The new record, That Santa Fe Channel, is part Gram Parsons, part John Hiatt, and heavy on the Sweetheart of the Rodeo era Byrd’s. The Southern harmonies with enough Black Crowes seeping in to make this one a unique Roots Rock listen. The infectious new song and video just released, “Frozen Rose,” has a little bit of everything.
Video of the Day: Israel Nash – Lucky Ones
Lifted, the new record by Israel Nash, is truly one of the best records of 2018. A bit of Big Star here, some Laurel Canyon Laid Back harmonies there, with a heavy dose of Beach Boys Karma blending the whole thing together.
Video of the Day: Elise Davis – Don’t Bring Me Flowers
Elise Davis is another of those fine Nashville artists that deserve a larger following. Her new record, “Cactus,” lays her soul bare whether she is lamenting a one night stand in a motel as she does on “Hold Me Like A Gun,” or makes her romantic intentions known on the cinematic “Don’t Bring Me Flowers.” With a night like that who needs a honeymoon.
