Charlie Starr and his Blackberry Smoke brethren tamp down on their Rolling Stones swagger on this one with Charlie Starr taking on a reflective Willie Nelson tone.
Song of the Day: The Modbeats – Fairweather Friend
Leader in the clubhouse for Beatle-esque song of the year, New Jersey based band The Modbeats mix Byrds, Psychedelia, and Garage rock into a perfect Power Pop Sound.
Cover Song of the Day: Al Green – Everybody Hurts
Much like he did for The Talking Heads “Take Me To The River” Al Green completely wraps his body, voice, and soul into the R.E.M. standard “Everybody Hurts.”
Released on Fat Possum Records, “Everybody Hurts” follows the Lou Reed cover of “Perfect Day” as the only music released by green since 2018.
Song of the Day: Thundermother – Dead Or Alive
The newly revamped Thundermother is coming out stronger than ever on this latest single from their upcoming 2025 record, Dirty & Divine. The Swedes Billy Idol influenced rocker should have legs into early next year.
Song of the Day: Little Strange – You Said
Part Sonics, part Beatles. This hipster Manchester band is a Black Keyes inspired rock-fest.
Video of the Day: Gypsy Pistolers – Church of the Pistolers
The self-proclaimed greatest gypsy flamenco glam band in the world has been a bit quiet since the release of their epic LP Duende A Go Go Loco! released in 2023.
Here’s hoping that this latest single is a harbinger of things to come.
Video of the Day: The Band Feel – In The Garden
With touchstones starting with Black Crowes, Blackberry Smoke, and Rival Sons, this St. Louis band is poised for the high life. Check back in 6 months, and you will say that you knew them first.
Video of the Day: Kelsy Karter & The Heroines – Hotel Flamingo
This one has a real yacht rock-adjacent feel to the proceedings. Think of Dog And Butterfly Heart and John Waite’s “Missing You” to capture the vibe on this single. And, don’t sleep in the artsy Tarantino-inspired video.
Video of the Day: Hamish Anderson – Late In The Evening
There is a nostalgic ‘70s Blues Rock feel to “Late In The Evening” from his latest l.p., Electric. If John Mayer we as just a bit cooler he would sound like Hamish Anderson. Listen closely for a hint of ZZ Top in the air.
Video of the Day: My Funny Hitchhiker – 13
From their 2023 LP Document, the Japanese rock trio My Funny Hitchhiker are rock icons in their home country. And, deservedly so.
