We book-end this month’s video playlist with Dan Auerbach (of the Black Keys), opening with a rocking take on “My Last Mistake” and closing with a special acoustic performance of “Trouble Weighs a Ton.” In between we’ve got live performances from Alex Dezen (The Damnwells), Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit, Justin Townes Earle, Sam & Ruby, the Volunteers, the Smoking Popes, Ben Kweller and Longwave. There are also videos from Lions in the Street and Girls, Guns & Glory plus the Explorers Club treat us to their take on the Chuck Berry chestnut “Johnny B. Goode.”
