Wednesday Morning Music Shuffle - So... yeah... Mix

I hope you enjoyed the premiere of the brand new song from Cosmonauts and our interview with the band... in case you missed it - go here. I heard yesterday and Mike Watt is bring his Missingmen to Nashville in October. The Americana Music Fest is just a few weeks off, Live on the Green is starting soon, and Musician's Corner should be kicking off their Fall series very soon.  Plus news yesterday that Grimey's is going to open an extension (Grimey's Too) which include a cafe, bookstore, more music and possibly an expanded area for events like Record Store Day???  

Okay - let's dive headlong into this morning's shuffle.  I bit of a rough morning so I needed some sweet tunes to get me settled into my day, and the shuffle beast did it's job.

First up we have Band of the Month for May (and our last ever Band of the Week) South of Ramona with The Lonesome Soul off their new Step Inside EP which we reviewed. I am still massively digging the band's haunting folksy rock sound. 


 

South of Ramona so far have only released videos of covers - here is their version of the Jefferson Airplane song, Somebody to Love

Next up we have Bonnie "Prince" Billy (William Oldham)  - a Louisville, Kentucky native who makes some incredible music which contains elements of punk, folk, Americana and Indie Rock. Today, we have the title track to his 2011 EP, The Mindeater which was a collaboration with the Louisville-based The Phantom Family Halo.

And finally, we continue to reap the fruits of our surfing of the ReverbNation site. Friday Night Music Club are "a handful of song writers who came together on a project and never left."  Today we have Why?  a tasty bit of laid back folksy flavored goodness which definitely eased my transition into work mode.
