  • Song Of The Day – Jake Bugg – “Lightning Bolt”

    This is Jake Bugg’s second appearance on the Song Of The Day, as I highlighted Two Fingers last year.  Today’s featured tune is Lightning Bolt and it continues his string of bluesy rock success.  This young Englishman was all of 18 when he recorded this song.  Amazing raw talent as both a songwriter and player. …

  • Song Of The Day – John Hiatt – “Cry Love”

      Thought I’d drop in with a song.  Summer hit Calgary, had to push away.  Heard this on CBC the other day.  Classic John Hiatt, but then what isn’t.    

  • Remembering JJ Cale

      Nothing to say.  Great artist. JJ Cale passes away on July 26.        

  • Random Songs From My Phone – Stevie Ray Vaughn – Little Wing

    Good evening all.  Lots happened in the last month, and I’ll expand on that all over the next few days.  In the meantime, I just needed to drop in and let you know I am still kicking.  That trip to Alaska in a short while is going to be very therapeutic.  My song of the…

  • Song Of The Day – Jimmie Vaughn – “Dirty Girl”

      So tell me, what do you do when you are driving 1100 km, over 2 days, in the rain and in the car for 14 hours.  If you’re me, you hit the radio and look for songs to Shazam for your blog.  I think I found some.  The first road tune I heard was…

  • Random Songs From My Phone – The Commitments – “Mustang Sally”

      I am adding a new feature to my Song Of The Day category.  I hit random on my iPhone and whatever song pops up is my Song Of The Day.  This feature joins my current group consisting of “Remembering”, “Canada’s Best Music”, “Let’s Explore The Blues” (which I’m resurrecting) and the “Song Of The…

  • Song Of The Day – Jamie N. Commons – “Rumble and Sway”

      A quick post to let you know I am still around.  Life does trump all from time to time, and recent weeks are one of those trump times.  Enjoy this cut, a CBC2 find once again, Jamie N. Commons performing the tune “Rumble and Sway, live on Conan.  Could be a big one.  …

  • Song Of The Day – Caro Emerald – “Absolutely Me”

    This post is a small milestone in that it is the first time I have devoted a Song Of The Day post to an artist that I have already given one to.  Caro Emerald is really leaving a mark on my music psyche. The song,  Absolutely Me, which is off her outstanding album “Deleted Scenes…

  • Song Of The Day – Roxanne Potvin – “A Love That’s Simple”

      Regina born Roxanne Potvin, is a singer songwriter in the vein of Bonnie Raitt.  In other words, excellent.  She recorded this song with John Hiatt way back in 2006.  It is on her second album “Tee Way It Feels”.  The version I have placed here is live and, unfortunately, no John Hiatt.   Roxanne…

  • Remembering Johnnie Bassett

    Blues great Johnnie Bassett died on August 4, 2012 at the age of 76.  He was a much in demand electric blues guitarist and a singer-songwriter.  In addition to his session work, he toured with such notables as Tina Turner and Little Willie John.  In session, he played with the Miracles and others.  Here is…
