Shuffle: “River” by The Delta Saints from Death Letter Jubilee (2013) - The Delta Saints come from Nashville but their music rises like the high humidity from a swampy place down where the Mississippi River joins the Gulf of Mexico.
“A Switch Behind the Poster? (Let’s Push it!)” by Black Doctor Jr. from Mama Coco’s Funky Kitchen – Section 5 (2014)/Single (2013) - The good doctor returnes to #E2TG with their latest single which is compiled on the latest Mama Coco's Funky Kitchen compilation (the fifth, I'm guessing) which filled with great music. The song is chunky and soaring and freakin' awesome. “99 Shades of Crazy” by JJ Grey and Mofro from Alligator Records: 21st Century Blue and Roots (2014)/This River (2013) - We're all crazy - get over it. Some southern blues rock from Jacksonville, Florida from a recent Alligator Records compilation.
“Sleep/Whatever” by Ghost Pal from God Save MCFK (2013) - some sweet psychedelic sounding pop music from another Mama Coco's band which is fronted by the ubiquitous Oliver Ignatius the man behind the curtain at the Funky Kitchen. Which provide a good opportunity to remind you of their on-going plan to build-out a new space.
“Take Your Makeup Off the Wall” by The Foresters from Living Hold (2014) - the kids from Connecticut are back in the shuffle with another great track from their latest album. Their CXCW performance of this song (included in the video playlist below) earned them the There is Hope for the Future Award. Hope indeed.
“Heroin” by The Velvet Underground from The Velvet Underground and Nico (1967) - I've never done heroin. Thanks to Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground, I feel like I don't need to... 47 years later VU are still way ahead of the time.
“Perfect Storm” by Jenny Leigh from Tipping Point (2013) - A nifty Country song by a powerful singer - fairly recently relocated to Nashville.
“Shops” by The Jean Jackets from Field Theory Blues (2013) - I just realized I'm a whole album behind on this great indie pop band - yet another Mama Coco's Funky Kitchen member. Memory and time shortages allowing, I will catch up, but in the meantime, check out this evocative final track from their second most recent album.
“Too Many Cuts” by Pork Chop Willie from Love is the Devil (2014) - North Country Alabama blues with a Brooklyn edge helps make this album by Pork Chop Willie one of the best of 2014. Garnering a lot of well deserved attention from the Blues community, the music is fresh and suitable for music fans of all types. Highly recommended!
