Listening to Bill Mize play his guitar LIVE as I type this, at the very first outdoor Blue Plate Special on WDVX, "East Tennessee's Own" public radio station. www.wdvx.com Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam opened and introduced, SUPER cool to listen to this! Looks like every 2nd Wednesday of the month they'll be broadcasting the Blue Plate from Market Square live- wish I was there today. Good enough to be home, with the dogs, drinking good, strong coffee, getting ready to work around the house. I know I've posted about WDVX a lot, but I have good reason- no other source has opened me to more music, other than friends and The Disc Exchange up in Knoxville. BTW- a buddy was looking at used discs last week, found a copy of The Fixx's greatest hits- now that's in the CD player. What a great band! Now I gotta go find "Walkabout"- THAT was a great recording too, a long lost fave. Good Hump Day to youn's...  | ||

Grumpy Glad to hear you enjoyed the show. I have a half dozen of his discs and would be happy to burn em and send them across. You could get titles and artwork etc. off the net. Let me know. This guy was a country session player in Nashville but has since struck out on his own with country and blues.He has great tone and a solid rep. This is MIKE HENDERSON.

Like that Mike Henderson, S3ters. Badweb music freaks, you may not hear anything from me for a few days so please keep this awesome thread going! Packing today, tomorrow is a big monster of a travel day. 3.5 hours in the air, then 3.5 hours on the road contending with opening weekend of fishing traffic, woo hoo. It's might as well be a state holiday in Minnesota. I'll be reunited with my City x for the last 200 miles of my trek, yay! Take care and ride safe, y'all. BeLinda. | ||

These Nashville musicians formed in the early 90's and combined southern soul,boogie and blues.They have since disbanded but the music still sounds relevant today. This is the SCREAMIN' CHEETAH WHEELIES. Shakin' The Blues http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhZLDDdfdvk Boogie King http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2HGEVNGkEk 25 Miles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fg3Qy4sP0pY One Big Drop Of Water http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrULVD-lagA | ||

A bit OT, but I figured some of you would be interested. I'm about half way into the recently released biography "Raisin' Cain- the Wild and Raucous Story of Johnny Winter" by Mary Lou Sullivan. It's a great read so far- it's amazing to read about all the musical connections in the book (who played with who who went on to play with who). As a LONG-time JW fan, it's amazing to me how much of this stuff I never heard before. Whether you're a Johnny Winter fan or just interested in music history from the 50's up through the present, I highly recommend it. | ||

S3ters, that version of "25 Miles" by SCW freaking rocks! We're having a VERY rare band practice today and I'm gonna recommend that as a tune we need to learn. | ||
| S3ters |
Hugh, Good luck w/the new song. Today being Sunday I'm posting a gospel soul group. While not obscure they are not that well known and absolutely rock and hope the younger gen digs em as I like the idea of younger folks discovering where todays music came from. This is the STAPLE SINGERS.

This player has contributed to many including Springsteen and N. Young but has led his own bands also. He is IMHO very underrated. This is NILS LOFGREN.

Wow, S3- you're digging deep to get the Screaming Cheetah Wheelies! Good stuff! Folks, if you're up late tonite watching TV, one of my favorite musicians (and a real cool dude) will be playing- Ray Wylie Hubbard, on the Jimmy Fallon show! Ray's son will be on guitar- he's been studying with Gurf Morlix, and it shows! Kid can sling an axe. They were just at Smoky Mountain HD's Shed this past weekend- actually, Ray's son and the bass player couldn't make the gig, so my old boss Scott and my good buddy Mark stood in on guitar and bass in their absence!! Talk about a cool show!!! I don't know if any footage of the show is up on Facebook or whatever, but it might be worth a search to see if anything has been posted... Anyhoo, youn's take a look tonite if you're up, or set your recording devices- Ray's the real deal. | ||

Here's another of my all-time favorites. Now in their 50s, they rock as hard as ever and attending one of their shows always reminds me that age is truly immaterial. Canada's own living punk-jazz-pop legend: Nomeansno. | ||

Yeppers, it's me posting again about the Blue Plate Special- today I listened to "Big In Japan". Band's been together just a few weeks, but they sounded pretty good today. Go look them up! Anyone remember "Zapp"? | ||

Today I want to post a band that is not obscure in name but maybe their early music is. They started in the early 70's as a studio band in Doraville,GA. and evolved into one of the all time great southern rock bands of the 80's and 90's and are a staple on the classic rock stations still.I'll focus on the early music which produced zero hits but made me a fan. This is ATLANTA RHYTHM SECTION.

Hey y'all! Back in the sweatbox known as Florida, great to see so many posts on this thread. The withdrawls of limited computer/internet/cell phone access nearly did me in, but I really enjoyed escaping the heat, and figuring out what was missing from my mp3 over my ten day maiden voyage to the tundra. Today's post is far from obscure, but so far I don't think they have been mentioned. Have not heard anything about them since they popped up on my e-mails selling their new cd/snuggie combo around Christmas. Their online ad for said combo had me rofl. Like the Buell brand, these guys are quirky, but very groovy. Here's WEEZER. "Say it Ain't So" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENXvZ9YRjbo If you were a fan of HAPPY DAYS, gotta watch this..."Buddy Holly" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kemivUKb4f4&a=TgJtB owI5E4&playnext_from=ML "Beverly Hills" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL_WvOly7mY | ||
