I only know two kinds of music. Music that's good, and music that sucks, and I only play music that's good. A couple of sub-themes cropped up in this week's show as I was putting the broadcast together. Songwriters and unknowns (damn, that's a surprise!). This week includes:
- Robert Earl Keen
- Glen Campbell's final studio album
- Jackson Browne
- John Hiatt
Entire blocks of stubbornly independent, iconoclastic, eclectic artists that come from under the
Give Me My XXX umbrella that Shooter put together (his new one is here too!).
Contributions from artists that are part of The Great Revival of that unclassifiable '70's sound; music that fits in that rock/blues/country fuzzed out guitars, turned up Marshall tube amps sound:
- Midnight River Choir
- Cody Canada & The Departed
- Micky & The Motorcars
Blues, real guitar blues from masters like R.L. Burnside and Guitar Shorty; and revivalists like North Mississippi All-Stars.
Music is far from dead, it's alive and these folks are trying hard to move past the bland, homogenized, beige, corporate crap turned out by the entertainment conglomerates that are only interested in profit and product. Please leave comments and ratings, get a hold of me using e-mail or Facebook (Kip Williams, Music that Doesn't Suck Canal Water or The Desolation Angel) or on Twitter (kip_williams) and whatever you do, please, please, please if you're a listener use the Green Share button below, or Share it on Facebook; this isn't about me, it's about these artists and keeping their name out there, and remember that the podcast of the show is available in iTunes.
Peace out,
Kip
