The month of April is over, and we’re finally getting out from under our winter form and into the allergy season. There was tons of new great music, and I slipped in a cover on this mixtape. I hope you like it as much as I do. As always, let us know what we’ve missed (if anything), and please do enjoy.
Leave a CommentIt’s the end of the year and it’s time to wrap up everything we loved, and this year I’d like to make this a buyers recommendation for records this year. At this point in my life, these are all records I think you should drop $20 on and spin the vinyl like there is no tomorrow. I didn’t think it was proper to put these in any type of order although most people who I discuss music with will probably know what my number one is.

The Lone Bellow – Self Titled [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Id-sNOhL0I[/youtube] [A]s much as I gripe about The Lone Bellow’s self-titled debut, for me when I hear it, I can’t help but think it’s formulaic, an undeniable focus group created music for maximum broad appeal, and then I press play, and the urge to not like the music that comes pouring out of this Brooklyn trio melts, and I realize just how undeniably great the record is.

[J]ust a few months after being signed to Bloodshot Records, New Orleans musician Luke Winslow-King just announced his new record, The Coming Tide, to be released April 23rd. The first single from the jazz / blues artist is a strolling tune that sounds as if it’s being played on the front porch of a rickety home in humid New Orleans.

Enter Luke Winslow-King a student of the varying types of blues. He studied composition at University of New Orleans and is making some waves down in Nola as a skilled songwriter and entertainer even playing world famous Preservation Hall.
