“Vincent Black Lightning” (Richard Thompson cover) by Fendrick and Peck

“Gingerbread Boy” by Miles Davis

From the Miles Davis at Newport 1955-1975: The Bootleg Series Vol. 4… a Jimmy Heath composition (I think).  Nothing wrong with Miles Davis on a lazy Saturday afternoon at the end of Summer.  Or any other time for that matter…

“Eastwood Outlaw” by Crazy Aces

Crazy Aces are an instrumental rock band from Nashville.  I experienced them live for the first time last night, and I had to have this albun.  Awesome stuff!

“Champions of Red Wine” by The New Pornographers

A track from the latest album by The New Pornographers, Brill Bruisers, which was released about a year ago… a pretty cool song.  I like it.  I could listen to Neko Case sing all day long.

“Song About My Friends” by Atticus Floyd

From We’ll All Come Down… a cute little songs about friends who are monsters who died.

It is now 3:44p.m.  and we move on…

From a Sampler of the Big Ears Music Festival which held in Knoxville, Tennessee earlier in the year.  Kronos Quartet class up the shuffle in the coolest way possible…

“Lost in a Crowd” by Fantastic Negrito

My first time hearing this song and my first exposure to the artist. Man, I dig this. I want to hear more! The album is listed as “Studio Paradiso 4/20/2015” on my device.  Will find out more right away.

“Only Love Can Break Your Heart” by Charlie Whitten

A nice Neil Young cover… This comes from a Charlie Whitten Sampler via Noisetrade.

And we will go out with this one:

“21 Years” by James Tomberlin

Our first listen to the new record from James Tomberlin.  One of my favorite writers. He recently left Nashville to pursue a law degree in Virginia, but before he left he recorded Still Life with Orange. Produced by Josh Morris and featuring Jon Latham, Cameron Carrus, and John Gentile.  I love this song!

4:05p.m.  Hope you enjoyed!

Another great one from the Driven Back album. Such great songs, such great harmonies.

“Sailor’s Song” by Brian Carpenter and the Confessions

Brian Carpenter is from Boston.  The new album from Brian Carpenter and the Confessions is due out in October.  The pitch name dropped not only Nick Cave but Wim Wenders and David Lynch as well… needless to say this film buff was intrigued. This song (the last on the album) is my first listen, and I really like what I’m hearing.  Expect more from me about this album.

Another cut from Ben Arthur’s Call and Response album of “Answer Songs”. This one is one of two responses to Joyce Carol Oates short stories in the collection.  Ben Arthur is also Host and Producer of “SongCraft Presents” which is a pretty fascinating web series.

“Gentle on My Mind” by John Hartford
