One of my all time favorite singer/songwriter/storytellers is back some brand new material. 'Little Honey' is her 10th proper studio album in a recording career that started in 1978.
The track I am sharing was written about oft-troubled Libertine and Babyshamble Pete Doherty...enjoy.

Former Archer of Loaf front man Eric Bachman is finally back with a new Crooked Fingers record, entitled 'Forfeit/Fortune.'
The CL lineup is in constant flux, and the band has left Merge Records now and gone totally independent. Here is a tune from the new record, enjoy:

I have written a hundred songs about Meg White in my mind...but Ray Lamontagne has done be one better by recording one and even releasing it on his latest album, 'Gossip In The Grain'...how can I compete with that??

Murs has one me over as a fan through his insanely energetic live sets that I have caught at three of the last four Coachellas. His hyper intelligent lyrics layed over thumping beats don't hurt either.
His major label debut came out a week or so ago, 'Murs For President.' Here is a track off of that album...if you are even a marginal fan of good hip hop, check it out.

What started as a trip planned out on a whim out of anxiety over turning 30 five years ago, has turned into an annual pilgrimage for me! The three day Coachella music festival is easily my favorite weekend of the year.
The dates were just released...April 17,18, and 19. See you on the Polo Field!!
Here is a tune from my friend Henry, who is also a super talented singer/songwriter from Denmark recording under the name Me And The Horse I Rode In On. He came with us last year for his first ever Coachella excursion, and was so blown away he wrote a song about it...this new song 'Indio' is available on his new EP 'Home And Other Places I'd Like To Visit'...more information on that and you can hear more of his music here, on his myspace page:

This is something I have been meaning to do a lot more of, but have not really followed through. Columbus,OH, where I currently call home, has a really vibrant and eclectic local music scene and I want to try and highlight an artist a week...if I remember.
The initial act I want to immortalize in blog form is an amazing bar band from here in Columbus, 'Two Car Garage.' They right some of the best alt-country songs that you have never heard...really brilliant sometimes. Here is a tune off of their 2007 release 'III.'
