TnJ 549 (6/25/15)

Special session: Best of 2015 (so far), roll up and enjoy!

-HOUR ONE-

MIKE FRANK and FRIENDS - $1000  (2015 a Doorway Beyond)

Hard to go wrong with a Hammond B3 and a 1971 Neve console.

AJ GHENT BAND – Keep on Working > Keep on Working Jam  (2015 Live at Terminal West CD/DVD)

Sacred steel, laying it on thick and groovy.

ALABAMA SHAKES – Don’t Wanna Fight

Not afraid to experiment with the “sound” of their second album.

PIMPS of JOYTIME – Dank Janky

Brooklyn-based garage funk with some great guests, including Ivan Neville.

STORMING the BEACHES with LOGOS in HAND – Gorillas in the Sky  (2015 Southwick Howls)

Two years in the making, this album does Santa Fe proud.

BRIGHT LIGHT SOCIAL HOUR – Sweet Madelene > Slipstream  (2015 Space Is Still the Place)

This Austin band works the atmospheric aesthetic better than most.

-HOUR TWO-

UMPHREY’S McGEE – I Want You [She’s So Heavy]  (2015 the London Session)

Recorded at the legendary Abbey Road studios in London.  Great cover of a great song.

MY MORNING JACKET – Only Memories Remain  (2015 the Waterfall)

Still kings of the ethereal, and banking on it heavily this time around.

DAWES – Things Happen  (2015 All Your Favorite Bands)

This album sounds more “plugged in” than earlier efforts, to their benefit.

DREW HOLCOMB and the NEIGHBORS – Avalanche  (2015 Medicine)

Folky singer-songwriterism that is neither too sparse nor too jangly.

CHRIS STAPLETON – Might As Well Get Stoned  (2015 Traveller)

This “country” artist is way too cool to be heard on many country stations.

GOV’T MULE w/ JOHN SCOFIELD and MIKE BARNES – Afro Blue  (2015 Sco-Mule, 9/23/99 the Roxy, Atlanta, GA)

Excellent archival release.  That it went unreleased for so many years is a tragedy.  Haynes and Scofield doing what they do best: ripping it up.
