can you feel the love?

I'm not talking about the Lion King, there will be no harm to animals ever on this blog. What I supposed is Rudimentals summer smash "Feel the love". Even if you are not a huge D&B fan you probably heard the song, it was impossible to miss it was everywhere which as always gave birth to very ambivalent feelings towards a basically good song. The guy who sings the vocal.. no its not Rudimental.. It's John Newman, "Love me again" should ring a bell, even if not the original but some dubsetp and drum and bass remixes which are floating out there like tiny plankton in the sea of music. Wow. So Subsoul which is another great label for anyone who like good electronic music, released the Wayward remix of the song "Cheating". If you into old Mj Cole era garage this comes pretty close to it. It won't necessarily be a song you throw your hands in the air but a perfect ending to a great night. Another way to put it: A garage love song. So here it is this week almost banger John Newman -Cheating (Wayward remix).

Classic of the week

If I mention the name Hank Williams Jr, I feel I should not say anything more. So for this week's classic it's him. I picked a cover which is also a live performance. You ask why cover? And the question is completely reasonable. But the answer is simple: the song he covered is well known, and the original was great, but his talent elevates it. Also a proof that just because it's a cover, it doesn't mean it's not good. Please enjoy The Marshall Tucker Band's "Can't you see" covered by Hank Williams Jr responsibly.

Discovery of the week

One of my favorite U.S. city has to be Knoxville TN. So when I found out about this band called The Black Lillies, which members refer to themselves as Knoxville natives, there was no hesitation that I had to make sure to listen to their latest album - which was out in late march- titled "Runaway Freeway Blues". Upon gathering some information about them turns out that they preformed multiple times at the Grand Ole Opry, which pretty much says everything. But before you take your card out, and buy their album there is one more information I can't hold back, and will seal the deal: they are independent, that means they do whatever the hell they want whether it's music or the way they dress or where they go.

“I think it’s an amazing thing we can have fan support and stay independent and be able to offer up an experience to our fans and not just, ‘here’s our music and just come to a show’,but ‘let me give you some art, let me give you something that you’re going to be able to connect with.’ Because that’s what we’re trying to do every day with our music, is connect with them. We have family all across the United States because of that" The wise word of the vocalist of the band Trisha Gene Brady.
