What We’re Listening To (August 8, 2024)

Elles Baily – 1972

Her latest single, “1972” was released in advance of her upcoming album, Beneath The Neon Glow, celebrates doing our best to live in the moment just like in 1972. The record is set to see the light of ear later in the year.

Kyle Daniel (feat. Maggie Rose) – Fire Me Up

One of the best contemporary Southern artists in the game today, old-school meets new-school on this backwoods charmer, “Fire It Up.” Produced by Jaren Johnston of The Cadillac Three, this single is from the newly released long-player, Kentucky Gold.

Gorilla Riot – Molotov Sister

There is more than a little Rolling Stones swagger on this grunge-adjacent single from Manchester’s own Gorilla Riot. The new record, Salvation, coming out in October is set to be epic.

Blues Pills – Bad Choices

It’s no secret that here at Rock is the New Roll we carry the torch for Blues. With their latest, “Bad Choices,” we are treated to a head-shaking bombast of Blues Rock courtesy of the best front women in Rock.

Austin Gold – The Wire Defines

There is nothing like a bit of Night Ranger-adjacent AOR to take you back to the days of your youth riding around in your El Camino with Eddie Money blasting on the cassette player with the smoke so heavy you can barely see out of the windshield.

The Top Songs of 2019 (20-16)

There have been a lot of really great songs released in 2019. This year, we will be revealing our top 100 songs five tunes at a time all the way to number one. Here are our picks for 20-16

20. Weyes Blood – Everyday

Titanic Rising is one of the best records of 2019, and the single “Everyday” is sort of Bob Seger meets Enya.

19. Bill Callahan – What Comes After Certainty

If Neil Diamond and Leonard Cohen had a love child that was produced by Rick Rubin, this is the sort of beautiful noise that the offspring would share with the world. Willie’s guitar even makes an out of nowhere appearance on this one.

18. Rodney Crowell – Deep In The Heart of Uncertain Texas

We could have picked any number of tunes for this list from Rodney Crowell’s Texas L.P., but we are contractually obligated to mention Willie Nelson at least one time per post, and the more the better. Here, along with Ronnie Dunn, Willie is in perfect hippy form.

17. Elles Bailey – Road I Call Home

The heir apparent to Bonnie Rait who sounds like she could be the daughter of Melissa Etheridge with better chops, Elles Baily is really coming into her own with her new record, Road I Call Home. The title track shows an artist that, by all rights, should not be as good as she is.

16. Garret T. Capps – Sunday Sun

There is an old school outlaw troubadour ethos that generates through every pore of Garrett T. Capps that draws the line from Hank to Kris to Townes all the way to Garrett T. Capps without missing a beat.

 

New Music Friday (August 2, 2019)

Yola – Shady Grove

The latest video from Yola’s debut record, Walk Through Fire.” A top 20 record for sure.

Starcrawler – Bet My Brains

Starcrawler, one of our favorite over the edge Rock Chick bands are back witba new single and video.

Trigger Hippy – Don’t Wanna Bring You Down

In 2014 Trigger Hippy, a supergroup consisting of Nashville session musicians released a self-titled album that was one of the best of the year. Here they pop up out of nowhere with a scorching new single.

Midland – Cheatin’ Songs

Normally, we would cry fowl on a band that travels the 80’s Country landscape, but for Midland all bets are off. We are all in. Here is their latest Garth Meets George gem.

The Allman Betts Band – Shinin’

Formed by the sons of Gregg Allman and Dickie Betts the Southern Rock torch has Ben duly passed. Close your eyes and you will think it is 1975 all over again.

Demob Happy – Autoportrait

This Psych Rock trio turns up the burners on this one to deliver the headbanger of the week.

Moon City Masters – The Price You Pay

A strong 70’s filter on this one picture Blind Faith jamming on stage with The Allman Brothers and you will pretty much get the idea.

Goodbye June – Universal Mega Love

These guys already have the chops to Greta Van Fleet and Rival Sons. A Rock band on the rise look for their new record Community Inn to come out in October.

Elles Bailey – Deeper

A vibrant Blues/Soul singer Elles Bailey could be the younger sister of Beth Hart.
