Video of the Day: Ashley McBryde – First Thing I Reach For
Ashley McBryde has quickly become a favorite here at Rock is the New Roll. With plenty of swagger and a whole lot of grit and attitude, her song selections take you from the bedroom to the barroom and back again. “First Thing I Reach For” is included in her recently released E.P. along with the highly excellent “One Night Standard.”
Rock Chick of the Day: Gin Wigmore – Black Sheep
Very much in the Fiona Apple and Brandi Carlisle mode Gin Wigmore is the musical force that Amy Winehouse could have been.
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.
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: Midland – Cheatin’ Songs (Live From The Palomino)
Their version of Classic Country goes down as smooth as a glass of Bourbon. The good stuff.
Video of the Day: John Anderson – Tuesday I’ll e Gone (feat. Blake Shelton)
Dan Auerbach with Easy Eye Sound, right before our very ears, is about to resurrect John Anderson’s career. Here is the second single to be released in advance of the upcoming album.
Video of the Day: Hot Country Knights – Pick Her Up
The Hot Country Knights have one stated mission and that is to bring 90’s Country back to the mainstream. Why you ask? We have no idea. But, if lead singer Douglas Douglason and Keytar player Terry Dvoraczekynski have anything to say about things these guys will be here to stay. The jury is still out as to whether these guys just have their collective tongues planted firmly in their cheeks or if they are the countrified version of Steel Panther. Only time will tell. Here, the guys play the role for all its worth with 90’s Country legend Travis Tritt.
Video of the Day: Freeman – London Nights
There is a bit of a 70’s vibe coming from singer-songwriter Freeman and his song, “London Nights.” Look for his new record to come out in May 2020.
Video of the Day: William Michael Morgan – Whiskey Kinda Night
The next wave of Country music to come back in style is the 80’s tear in your beer Classic Country in the King George Strait style. And, frankly, we here at Rock is the New Roll Roll say “bring it on cowboy.” This one is from a newcomer to the scene, William Michael Morgan
