Good morning! It's a beautiful day here in Music City USA. Working on an amazing mix of songs to add to the playlist tonight - hopefully. We still have lots to talk about - still two nights of Americana Fest to write about - hopefully I'll finish before next year's fest. We have a generous offer for an interview that we need to get our stuff together and do.
Tomorrow night we are taking part in the World Premier of the new video from Cosmonauts. We brought you the premier of the song, Cold Harbor along with an interview with the band. Now, the video is ready - we got a sneak peek and it's amazing, but does contain some graphic and disturbing images... but if you're up for that, tune in tomorrow.
Our friend's The Dead Exs have a new album out called, Relovolution. We already brought you the title track. The album is a nice complement to the band's debut Resurrection - offering a filthy and beautiful blend of rocking blues. Visit the band's website for more info. Right now, the band is tearing up the Lonestar State and playing some dates with the great Ray Wylie Hubbard.
==============================
We shuffles up our Revolving Random playlist and came up with this mix today:
First up, we have a song from the 1984 self-titled debut by Red Hot Chili Peppers. True Men Don't Kill Coyotes is a funky, bit of post-punk L.A. rock music. Did you know that Guitarist Hillel Slovak did not appear on this record due to contractual obligations to the band What is This?
So... Who's Next? Exactly. Okay I'll stop. Next, we have Baba O'Riley, the classic song from the classic 1971 Who's Next album by The Who.
Next we have a 1990s cover of an early 80s song. The Muffs' version of Kim Wilde's first single, Kids in America, was originally released on the soundtrack to the 1995 film Clueless, and was later released on the band's album Hamburger.
Finally, we close out with a classic Nashville rock track. This one comes from the self-titled major label debut by a band called Royal Court of China. The band included members of popular Nashville thrash band The Enemy. The record included hard rocking songs and more Southern Gothic folk stuff. The band split after this record with members taking the RCC name further into a Hard Rock direction on the follow up album Geared and Primed, and other members forming The Shakers who followed that Southern Gothic strain to it's conclusion with a album called Songs from Beneath the Lake. Today, we have the instrumental track, Townsend, TN, which shows off that gothic folk side of the band.
Couldn't find a video for Townsend, TN so here's a different RCC song.
