Today’s video is a bit more traditional than the stuff usually covered on here but I just love it. I heard this song first on Son Volt’s A Retrospective : 1995 -2000 and it quickly became a favorite of mine. I love the ‘Naaaashville’ in this version. (Apparently you can’t embed this – so you have to follow the link onto YouTube – well worth the extra click)
‘Making my own city lights out of Bourbon and the stars of a bar room fight’
The genius line that opens this fab song from Golden Age Of Radio
I haven’t really been following Mr. Lovett’s career that thoroughly and have bought only two of his albums – this track is from ‘Joshua Judges Ruth’.I’m not normally really into Gospel music all that much – but this is just too infectious not to like it, especially in combination with his voice. Also, it’s a great story being told.
I haven’t been listening to this band for ages, and then I stumbled upon this great video, recorded in June ’13 at Glitterhouse Records’ Orange Blossom Special Festival. I actually helped to organise first two incarnations of the festival ages ago, so I feel a little bit sentimental watching this. Anyway, I digress, a smashing song.
Forget the poor visual quality and just listen to this excellent version of another brilliant John Prine song:
Check out this uber-cool video of Otis Gibbs Detroit Steel from his fine Harder Than Hammered Hell album – some great imagery on here. For more of that, befriend him on Facebook, he’s posting equally cool photos on there regularly.
