Singer-songwriter Parker MillLsap will be releasing his new album “Be Here Instead†via his own Okrahoma Records and Thirty Tigers on Friday.

Monday Morning Video – Billy Bragg
I’ve been digging into the greatness that is the Billy Bragg catalog lately and enjoyed being re-connected with these classics: “Levi Stubb’s Tears” and “Waiting For the Great Leap Forwards”.
Monday Morning Video – Buddy Guy
How ’bout some vintage blues to start the week? Here’s Buddy Guy performing “Mary Had a Little Lamb” and “My Time After Awhile” back in 1969.
Evergreen – a Video Premiere from Kimon Kirk
Back in “normal timesâ€, Kimon Kirk was an in-demand bassist with quite the musical resume. The LA-based Kirk has toured and recorded with the likes of Aimee Mann, Alejandro Escovedo, Gaby Moreno, and Grant-Lee Phillips, to name just a few. That busy calendar has kept Kirk from releasing much of his own music, something he […]

Monday Morning Video – Glenn Thomas
Although I never wrote about Reassure Me There’s a Window, the 2020 release by Glenn Thomas, it has maintained a place in my musical rotation. The album version of this stunning song about confronting loss is lush and string-laden. This acoustic version, however, lays bare the song’s raw emotion.

Marshall Crenshaw is going to help us kick off the week with this stripped down version of his power pop gem “Cynical Girl”. And what the heck, let’s throw in the Crenshaw classic “Someday, Someway”. Dedicated to the memory of SE.

Matt Lorenz, aka The Suitcase Junket, is a musical force. It’s more than just the racket that he can make, it’s the glorious songs that he creates. “When The Battle Is Won” is from The End Is New, his latest release.
Monday Morning Video – Texas Tornados
The legendary Texas Tornados – Doug Sahm, Freddy Fender, Flaco Jiménez, and Augie Meyers – help us kick off the week with their version of ? and the Mysterians’ garage rock classic “96 Tears”.
