Song Of The Day: Feb. 27, 2018
If you ever saw Dan Hicks & the Hot Licks in concert back in the day, you never forgot ’em. Check out this mash-up of a great song and…Buster Keaton?:

I love this band. I love them so much that I’ve booked them at the Arden Gild Hall for April 7. Voted Best Band at the Freshgrass Festival. Perhaps more importantly, they made it into my 50 Fave Tunes Of 2017 long before I booked them. This is a different tune, I like the karaoke […]

Heard this song on XPN yesterday, really liked it. At first, I thought it was Todd Rundgren, but it wasn’t. It was from another Philly-based legend, though. For some reason, this song had dropped completely out of my memory bank:

That pernicious Russian influence is everywhere. Even…the Song Of The Day? From Russia with love for Elvis:

I know why Alby didn’t like yesterday’s selection. He’s not a fan of any sort of country/rock hybrid. He’s a fan of trad country. He’s a purist. As in, “Son, there’s only five country songs that’s ever been wrote.” This one, sung by the voice of God (if God was an ex-con), is definitely a descendant […]

Did I mention something yesterday about great country music coming out of west Texas? If I could only choose one album to represent that spirit, it would be Joe Ely’s Honky Tonk Masquerade. No wonder the Clash had him and his killer band open for them in England:

One of the more unlikely concert pairings I ever saw. This guy opening for…Husker Du: Hey, they both were on Warner Brothers at the time..

Nathan Arizona closes out a great week: “The best band of the 1990s Brit-pop era and one of the best guitar-rock bands ever. The Gallagher brothers who led Oasis feuded constantly and finally broke up the group in 2009. Now each of them leads a band not as good as Oasis. Older brother Noel was […]

Nathan Arizona Week, Day 5: “Some us will alvvays (CQ) love power-pop no matter when it comes out. This tune arrived in 2014 from a Canadian band that spells its name that way because some other band was already using the usual spelling. No word on how Betty and Veronica feel about singer and songwriter […]

Nathan Arizona Week: Day 4!! “Folk-rock for our time by one of a host of young guitarists who play in the tradition of Bert Jansch, Tim Hardin and John Martyn. Video shot at Fourth of July celebration in his home town Chicago. Summer in the city. If you like this, check out James Blackshaw.”:

Nathan Arizona Week. Day 2!: “The only hit by a 1990s “alternative” band with hints of the ’70s. In fact, pretty much the only New Radicals song anybody’s ever heard of. Praised by Joni Mitchell, who hardly likes anything. It never made sense to me that this group dropped off the face of the earth […]

Nathan Arizona, Day One!: “Crackling indie pop-rock from a rousing and rowdy Scottish band. NME named it the best song of 2006. A friend of mine and I spent part of a summer on a back porch trying to figure out what they were saying. Even when we finally saw the lyrics it didn’t help […]

Yes, it’s a parody of Deadheads. But it’s just so cool and spiky. Ends real quick b/c ‘Surprise Truck’ barrels through. Best band name ever?: Starting tomorrow, Nathan Arizona gets his week in the booth. Trust me, the week kicks off with a serious slab of hot wax!
