* Tim Easton Not Today Ammunition New West Excellent new album. He'll be playing an early show, 7:30pm on Thurs. 6/15 at The Pour House in Raleigh. Come on out!
Diana Jones Pretty Girl My Remembrance Of You Newsong Recordings Don't know much about her, but this song sounds great.
Stevie Vaughan & Double Trouble Live Another Day In The Beginning Epic Live recording from April, 1980
Sue Foley This Time Big City Blues Antone's Records This whole set is a tribute to another music pillar who died last week, Clifford Antone. As a young man he opened his self-named club in Austin (1975) to give the blues greats a place to play... but he also gave young players a chance to play with the great ones... Stevie Ray Vaughan, Sue Foley, others.
Doug Sahm Blessed Are These Tears The Last Real Texas Blues Band Antone's Records / Texas Music Group That was the voice of Mr. Antone there introducing the song.... and pretty much stating in 3 seconds why he worked real hard for the blues: "I hope you enjoy all the music." He got busted & did jail time, yeah, but the blues had a great friend in this man.
Boozoo Chavis The Spotted Cow Died Hey Do Right! Antone's Records / Discovery Like the previous couple songs, Antone had a hand in producing this one by a 1950's Louisiana legend who made a comeback in the 90's.
Sue Foley Hooker Thing Without A Warning Antone's Records More from Canadian Sue Foley, who recorded her first several records on Mr. Antone's label. He was willing to sign a young unknown (22) on the strength of demo she mailed him.
* Randy Whitt Pretty Dress We've Had Some Trouble self-released new from Pittsboro, NC! Look for gigs out and about...
* Roger Rodier While My Castle's Burning Upon Velveatur Sunbeam 1972 French Canadian folk-psych-pop
* Dudley Perkins Separate Ways Expressions Stones Throw
* Descemer Habana-Cuba Free Mix Siete Rayo Universal Cuban rapper
Emmanuel Jal & Abdel Gadir Salim Aiwa Ceasefire Riverboat / World Music Network Killer collaboration from the Sudan
* Triple Burner The Wherewithal Triple Burner Madrona nice instrumental rock
* The Black Heart Procession The Spell The Spell Touch & Go "San Diego indie-rock gloomsters"
* Casey Driessen Snowflake Reel/Done Gone/Cheyenne 3D Sugar Hill Casey sez: "It's been a dream of mine to do a fiddle/drums duet." Pulls it off brilliantly, I'd say.
* Wilders Belshazzar Throw Down Rural Grit
Loretta Lynn My Shoes Keep Walking Back To You Before I'm Over You Decca
