Another day, another cool mix of music.... Today we close out a few albums we've been spinning for some time, we have a track from one of the coolest and most underrated bands of all time, and we close things out with four tracks in a row from some Ear to the Ground favorites.
In case you missed it (shameless self-promotion): Check out an audio rendition of a excerpt from my novel-in-progress...
Shuffle begins right after the jump:
"deep on the inside" by The Lies from whatever
The Lies are from New Jersey. Like 95% of all New Jersey bands I play, Popa's Tunes helped make me aware of this rocking band. We've been shuffling songs from their album whatever for a while now, and this really awesome track finishes up the album for us. The Lies video is one of their contributions to the 2014 Couch by Couchwest (I'm willing to be Popa had a hand in that, too).
"The Bends" by Solardrive from Solardrive
For the second day in a row, we have music from Solardrive. This closes out this album for us. In case you are wondering, this is not a cover of the Radiohead song, but an incredible original which I think you will dig.
"Devil on my Back" by Stoney from More Than Animals
A deep blues vibe from Austin, Texas' Stoney. Another final track from an album we've been featuring for several months.
"Like Calling Up Thunder" by The Gun Club from Miami
You don't know how much I love having a Gun Club song in my shuffle. Fronted by the late, great Jeffrey Lee Pierce this California punk, blues band set so many standards, and they were already legendary during my formative musical years in the mid 80s. This song sounds fresh and even progressive 32 years after the fact.
"Whiskey Rain" by The End Men from Odds and Ends
Reigning E2TG Band of the Year, The End Men return to the shuffle with another track from their latest collection. Whiskey Rain shows the band at the top of their game. The accompanying video is from a series of videos about the recording of the song from Songcraft. All the gearheads who read this blog should definitely check that shit out...
"Justice is Due" by Tomas Doncker from Power of the Trinity
True Groove Global Soul! Tomas Doncker Band from the Ethiopian influenced Power of the Trinity album with some killer sax work.
"Glory" by Mr. Kind from Wide Awake/Open Hands
The full EP Wide Awake/Open Hands is now available from Mr. Kind. We've presented two of the tracks already. Here is a third - showing Brian Bergeron and company doing what they do so well...
"Moanin' at Midnight" by Tomas Doncker Band from Moanin' at Midnight: The Howling Wolf Project
