Marcus King – Young Blood (cover art)

First off, year-end lists are hard to do. Especially rank ordering, which becomes murky as you proceed down the list. That being said number one was a no brainer for me. Marcus King’s “Young Blood” was addictive start to finish with his blues-tinged 70’s arena rock. Below is the rest of my list: 2. Old […]

Best of 2019- Chip’s Picks

Friday, December 27, 2019 By Chip Frazier

Wilco – Live at the Alabama Theater 10/19/2019

Thursday, October 24, 2019 By Chip Frazier
