Two legends. ‘nuf said.
Monday Morning Video: Steve Earle and John Prine cover Townes Van Zandt
Plenty to love here. Steve Earle and John Prine teaming up to cover Townes Van Zandt’s “Loretta.” Recorded live at the legendary Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.
Monday Morning Video – Mike Farris
What better way to start your week than listening to the soulful voice of Mike Farris. As the man says, “glory glory.” Here’s a bonus video from Farris, his take on the Bob Dylan classic “Knocking on Heaven’s Door.”
Monday Morning Video: Warren Zevon
Sometimes you just want to kick it old school. Here’s one of my favorite Warren Zevon songs, with the band tossing in a bit of Bruce Springsteen’s “Cadillac Ranch” for good measure.
Monday Morning Video – Levi Lowrey covers Black Sabbath
Shawn wrote about Levi Lowrey and company’s latest release last week (read it here). Well, here’s a live version of the album’s closing track — a fiddle-driven cover of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs.” It’s all Americana, right?
Monday Morning Video – Morphine “Cure for Pain”
This song randomly popped up over the weekend. It served as a great reminder of how extraordinary Morphine’s music was and how great a loss it was when Mark Sandman passed away in 1999.
Monday Morning Video: Lydia Loveless
Twangville fave Lydia Loveless has a new album hitting the streets tomorrow and it’s a rocker. I’ll be sharing my thoughts on it shortly but, in the meantime, here’s Loveless and the crew performing an early favorite called “Wine Lips.”
Monday Morning Video: Chris Mills
I wrote about Mills’s latest release last week. Alexandria is one of those albums that gets better and better with each subsequent listen. Here’s a track that didn’t jupm out at me upon the first few listens but now floors me each time that I hear it.
More Video Fun from Sarah Borges, Amy Black and Girls Guns & Glory
Earlier today I wrote about Amy Black, Sarah Borges and Girls Guns & Glory, all of whom are about to host shows to celebrate their new releases. In addition to their own songs, all three of these artist’s are known to do some exceptional covers. Here’s the proof.
