New Paul Thorn

Doesn’t get any better than this…

Hear it on the Bear!

Josh Abbott Band

A soldier is killed in battle and has to view the life he left behind from the
other side…this is very powerful…

RIP, Levon Helm

There’s a hell of a jam session in heaven today, and this guy’s keeping the backbeat…

And from the late, lamented Band…

The opening to one of the greatest concert films ever made – “The Last Waltz”…
goodbye, Levon…

Joan Osborne

From the new disc, “Bring It On Home”, Joan Osborne sings an obscure Clarence Carter
song from 1968…

(Please don’t hold the ad from the maggots at Goldman Sachs preceding the video
against us…)

JD McPherson

Country music has always been most popular when it contained elements of rockabilly…
but since the Stray Cats disbanded, no one has really stepped forward – until now.
Former high school teacher JD McPherson and his bandmates look the part, and they know
how to wail…Happy Easter, everybody!

A Friday Two-Fer…

Too much stuff for one post, so here are two…

From the wilds of Minnesota, the band that brought us the song “Hollywood” two
years ago is back…this is Six Mile Grove from their new disc “Secret Life
in a Quiet Town”…

And because he is the reincarnation of Duane Allman, here’s Derek Trucks with wife
Susan Tedeschi from the disc “Revelator” and “Midnight in Harlem”…

Have a great weekend!

Lyle Lovett

Because he’s Lyle Lovett…

Belle Starr – with Kendal Carson!

Since we will feature Chip Taylor on this week’s Good News Live! (Sunday morning
at 10am on WQBR/the Bear), I started wondering what Chip’s sometime partner,
Kendal Carson, was up to…

Belle Starr’s first disc is now being recorded in Toronto…listen for it (and this track)
on the Bear soon!

Sons of Bill

From the new disc “Sirens”…

Same song, live…

Bruce!

This one speaks for itself…from the new disc Wrecking Ball…
