We have a whopping six songs in today's shuffle - so let's get to it!
If Rhode Island and Alt-Country don't make much sense to you, then you need to familiarize yourself with Providence band Deer Tick, and it will all become clear. I, myself, was late coming into the Deer Tick fold, but I've been hooked ever since that first listen. Today we open up a jam packed music shuffle with the opening song from the band's debut album - War Elephant. The song is Ashamed.
Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit are like an unstoppable force. Their album Here We Rest was one of the best albums of 2011. This time, we go back a couple of years to the predecessor - the self-titled album was the first to feature the 400 Unit. Today, we have Soldiers Get Strange.
All Mod Cons by The Jam is consistently one of my favorite albums of all time. It was released thirty-four years ago this past Saturday, and man oh man does it hold up well. Today we have the second song on the album To Be Someone (Didn't We Have a Nice Time).
Elizabeth Cook was born in Wildwood, Florida. Today, we have a song from Welder her critically acclaimed Don Was produced album which was released back in 2010. The subject of this song is the Chevy vehicle which helped me to get a letter to the editor published in the original print edition of Film Threat magazine. In case you weren't aware, the El Camino has appeared in an incredible number of motion pictures over the years. The list is too long to mention, but if you watch movies with an eye out for the car/truck thing, you will begin to notice a trend. Anyway, Elizabeth Cook's song is really good.
Detroit Rapper Danny Brown released a non-album single earlier this year. Grown Up has a sweet, nostalgic bent to it. It's good stuff.
And we close out this long set of music with the opening track off The Plimsouls second album, Everywhere At Once. Shaky City highlights the band's signature brand of power-pop.
