Chris Stapleton - "Friendship"

Lucinda Williams - "Can't Let Go"

Lucinda Williams is a name that's been orbiting around my musical core for sometime but never really absorbed anything by her, until recently. Finally decided to check out her 1998 album Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, which is largely considered to be her finest effort. Though it's a country/bluegrass record it really struck a nerve. I'm getting more accepting in my old age

Staind - "Me"

Staind has definitely gotten a bad rep these days. If they're even still around. Whatever haze has surrounded the band as of late has made people forget about just how fantastically devastating their first 2 albums were. In a time of rap-infused Nu-Metal, Staind's Dysfunction kept the slow crunch of grunge and the blistering, pain-soaked vocals of true metal alive with songs like "Just Go', "Suffocate" and "Mudshovel", but even the deep cuts on the CD were worth a listen. Like the self-immolating "Me"

Mike D

Dolly Spartans - "I Hear The Dead"

J.B.

Elliott Smith - "Angeles"

For me Elliott Smith was refuge during my early 20's. I find myself neatly packing away his albums thinking, "That's enough for now". But I always return to the well timed, somewhat hollow sound, with lyrics that clearly come from all the insecurities that I know we've all had. Nothing better than to take a deep dive returning to a sound and space you really felt close to. Happy Friday!

The Tragically Hip - "Something On"

Inspired by G-Man's favourite song from each Hip album list! Great track from Phantom Power!

Mr. T

River Kittens - "Atlantic City"

G-Man

Reef - "Place Your Hands"

Another great song from the 90's that managed to evade my detection! Here I am already 40 years old, still rocking to tracks from the 90's like they were brand new! It's a great way to relive those youthful moments when you're struck by a new song while going about your hacky-sackin' 1990s ways!

The Tragically Hip - "Vaccination Scar"

Dano

Tom Waits - "Hell Broke Luce"

The Eagles - "Hotel California"

Not everyone's "Go To" Halloween song, but I always get this eerie feeling while listening to it! A rock classic and one HELL of a band!! Happy Halloween gang!!👻💀🎃

Monster T

The Connection - "(It's A) Monster Holiday"

Ghost Man

Metallica - "Of Wolf and Man"

October 28th 2021 was officially Metallica's 40th anniversary! So naturally i've got to give a tip of the hat to my long time lads! This is about as close as they got to a Halloween song, which is odd considering how big of a horror fan lead guitarist Kirk Hammett is. I guess they have covered quite a few Misfits songs. Anyway. I'm going with the S&M version of this song. I feel it got a great treatment with the Orchestra added in and can't go wrong with Jason Newsted on backing vocals.

Concrete Blonde - "Tomorrow, Wendy"

In my ongoing crusade to discover lesser known great tracks from so called "One Hit Wonders" I present to you "Tomorrow, Wendy" by Concrete Blonde. You know "Joey" by this band, but this track crossed my path the other night. Kind of twisted, kind of dark, kind of melancholy, all marvelous. I should write a book with all these songs i'm discovering...

G-Man

Local H - "Fritz's Corner"

I love going back to 90's bands and digging through their back catalog for songs I may have missed. Thats how I discovered this track from Local H. A unique, bi-racial 2 piece grunge act from Zion, Illinois. Not sure if this was a single or not, but to me it sounds like a mix between Nirvana and the Offspring! Love it

Doug

Five For Fighting - "Superman"

Colm R McGuinness - "Wayfaring Stranger"

Jonny HP

The Fratellis - "Rock N Roll  Will Break Your Heart"

Mike D

G Tom Mac - "Cry Little Sister"

Alright, alright. You hear this and you think "WTF?". But seriously this guy has epic range, plus he's produced and written a shit ton of hits from many bands that made it to the big time!
