Song 83 - - JD McPherson: "Hey Skinny Santa"

It's Christmas time! Well, almost. Which means that it's the Christmas music season. No, I don't mean the endless loop of Christmas music that you hear at department stores and such, most of which just sound like Musak these days.…

Song 82 - - Heather Myles: "Crazy Arms"

I put on one of my old mixes today. A Heather Myles song came on. Not that I had forgotten about her, but I hadn't heard a Heather Myles song in quite some time. And, not that I needed a…

Song 81 - - Bob Dylan: "Simple Twist of Fate"

You don't need me to tell you about Bob Dylan. If you're here, you know about Bob Dylan.

Song 80 - - Adam Carroll: "Blondie"

I got an email from Adam Carroll today. It wasn't really from Adam. But it was from his booking agent, who also happens to be named Adam. It was a mass email sent to folks on Adam Carroll's email list.…

Song 79 - - Mickey & the Motorcars: "Carolina Morning"

There are a number of things not to like about Texas. Ted Cruz, for example. The heat and humidity in the summer. The Dallas Cowboys. You know. But there are also things to like about Texas. Like the music.

Song 78 - - Nick Gunty / Marty Robbins: "In the Valley"

I don't know a whole lot about Marty Robbins. I do know that he was a very successful and prolific country singer in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. And, on top of that, he was a Winston Cup NASCAR…

Song 77 - - Matt Lyons: "End These Wars"

I've written about Matt Lyons before. Matt has been my guitar teacher since 2013, and he's played lead guitar on each of my three studio albums (and the out-of-print album that we made right here on the computer with Garage…

Song 76 - - Kacey Musgraves: "Burn One With John Prine"

Kacey Musgraves was a slightly unconventional choice for a WXPN Free-at-Noon concert at World Cafe Live a few weeks ago. Kacey is an up-and-coming country star. And XPN seems to be trending away from country / folk / Americana these…

Song 75 - - Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore: "Stealin', Stealin'"

I bought an old school CD yesterday. It's the first CD that I've bought in a while. But it was so worth the 15 bucks that it cost. What was it? Well, it was the new record by Dave Alvin…

Song 74 - - Brian Wilson and Al Jardine / Nick, Matt & Bruce: "Sloop John B"

Back in October 2016 I wrote a post about Jan and Dean. They were big in the mid-60s with songs like Surf City, which was written by Brian Wilson, and other surfing, car and teen songs. But I…

Song 73 - - Kelly Willis: "Modern World"

I saw Kelly Willis live and in person once, way back in, I don't know, maybe 1992 or so. I'm not sure exactly when it was, but it was at least 25 years ago. And I saw her at what…
