Cool song

[lotusland]

Love these great songs by relatively unknown artists. The Dylan cover by My Bubba reminded of Shawn Colvin's version on her Cover Girl record about 20- years ago. She's not an unknown by any means but, in case you haven't heard it:

This is awesome. I love Shawn Colvin.

Me, too. Also, I liked those clips you posted!

Nick Drake is usually my go to artist when people start sharing music that's a bit out of the mainstream, particularly when you can trace it to the folk tradition or music that has a deep soulful sort of arc. Drake is no longer all that obscure and I'm sure well known to most here but there's always time and a place for him IMHO.

I see your Englishman Nick Drake (and love his music), and raise you with the Scotsman John Martyn, ably accompanied by the Englishter Danny Thompson. Part of the Transatlantic Sessions that have been done by the BBC for years, spearheaded by Aly Bain and Jerry Douglas. This video is from 1998, I believe. Thompson is the one playing the double bass. Martyn and Thompson performed 'Solid Air' together many times. Martyn died in 2009.

Finally, the Transatlantic Sessions artists will make an appearance at Merlefest this year. Douglas, Bain, and James Taylor are slated to appear, with others.

If you're not into rock, don't click this link, but this is pretty cool. It's a group of kids covering the Tool classic "46 and 2." Granted that nobody drums quite like Danny Carey and nobody sings quite like Maynard, it's pretty impressive. The band is TIGHT. The vocals are definitely the weak spot, but the kid does her best. Anyway you look at it, an impressive cover by some talented young musicians.

If you like that, check this one out, too. Same song, but this is a drum cover by a young woman who can really play and you can tell that she truly enjoys playing the drums. Makes me smile.

Heard this song on Satellite radio today and had the crank it up. It's about 20 years old but it wasn't exactly a hit then. There was a Charlotte station that played deep cuts in the 90s. I heard this tune and bought the CD. William Topley never made it big but this is a killer song.

Got another bit of nostalgia on satellite radio today. I love this tune and it makes me miss the Waifs. Cool true story about their grandmother marrying a US navy Sailer at the end of WW2. I never realized we had so many stationed in Australia. Enjoy.

While we're in Australia may as well enjoy a littlle country down under style. I love Kasey Chambers too.

At 2 a.m. this is inspiring. Perfect.

Art's Bridge over Troubled Water. Takes me back. One of the all-time bests. No, not obscure, but a great comfort.

Here's something from a relatively unknown country singer from a relatively unknown country.

Wayfaring Stranger

I love going to Merlefest each year. This video is from the Friday afternoon set done by the Waybacks, with guest vocalist Celia Woodsmith (Della Mae band). It features solos by violinist Warren Hood, organist Jason Crosby, and guitarist James Nash.

The energy from both the players and audience was high from nearly the first note of the song. Glad I was there to hear it live.

A truly fine cover of Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit...

I like it, thanks.


Is she a relative or an acquaintance of yours?

I'll offer up my all time favorite guitarist, Tommy Emmanuel. I can go down a serious worm-hole just watching and listening to him play. My view of Tommy is that there is no need for lyrics when you can make the guitar sing.

Great cover! I haven't been to Merlefest in many years. I went 4-5 times in the 90s and seemed like poured rain every year. I never saw Jefferson Airplane but I did see Jefferson Starship and the Killer Whales around 1982 in Greenwood SC of all places. I got one of the first guitar picks for my pick collection from Craig Chaquico while playing a solo during this song. I remember this vividly because right after he threw me a pick he held his guitar over the stage for us to strum and my buddy grabbed a couple of strings and yanked them off the guitar mid solo. Kinda ruined it and got a shocked and angry glare from Craig.

Nice! Never heard of her but I'll check out more when I have some time.

Here's one I love by The Devil Makes 3

There’s a pretty cool music scene in Chucktown these days. Susto is a Mellifluous and tallented band with some smart song writing and cool hooks. It’s hard to pick a favorite tune but this one is their most “popular” one.

https://youtu.be/jnPwVPTSIqc

But I prefer the live versions and this Audiotree performance with great sample of their best 4-5 songs:
