I was surfing and ran into this video of Jimi Hendrix playing “The Wind Cries Mary” I thought I would share an oldie for a change. Always enjoyed Hendrix, was a bit ahead of his time I think, and gone to quickly.

I love iTunes free song of the week. The Canadian version of iTunes concentrates on Canadian talent and the best part is the word free! This song is one of those. We have been introduced to a wide range of artists through this series, and yes we have actually bought a few because of this. This is Peter Katz doing Dangerous. Kind of mellow for my taste, but a nicely crafted song.
I have a couple of artists following me on Twitter and I have been checking out their stuff on-line. The Pete Walter Band is the first of these bands that I am introducing to my friends throughout the internet. Their music is available on iTunes. The song I have put up is Troubling Me. Good tune, interesting video.
I find myself going back to John Mayer on a regular basis. A very talented guy. In this video, he is playing acoustic, solo and doing one of my favourites, Neon. I love the comments on the video.
My friend Robin introduced us to Amos Lee, a long time ago. We have usually enjoyed his albums, but his first and his last are easily his best. The song attached is from his new album and is a great listening song. He performs it live. Amos is from Philadelphia and seems to embrace soul, jazz and mostly, folk styles. He does a good job with all genres and appears to be finally breaking through as he deserves to.
I get chills listening to Diane Birch sing. We discovered her a few years back on a mix that my friend Robin was playing. She can sing real gooooddd. This is a video of her live on Daryl Hall’s House, another Robin discovery. Continue reading “Listening to Diane Birch”
An extremely interesting story. Saskatchewan band “The Sheepdogs” are one of two bands remaining in a contest by Rolling Stone magazine to be on their cover. This was open to “unknown” bands and was done by fan vote. Please vote for them HERE
A single of the week (free) from Itunes. Kind of grows on you after a few listens. And she’s sorry. she really is, I’m sure she is. Continue reading “Listening to Kate Miller-Heidke”
Now that I discovered Stuff, I had to find more. Great band. Again Live at Montreaux. Steve Gadd is a phenomenal drummer. Continue reading “Listening to Stuff”
We were watching something on Bravo, and, as they do, they had time to fill and they filled it with this video. Blew us away. Immediately hit Itunes and became the proud owner of his album, “Holly”. Great find, still listening to it on a regular basis.
