500 Miles To Memphis pours Sunshine In A Shot Glass

500 Miles To Memphis – “Sunshine In A Shot Glass” mp3

I want sunshine in a shot glass. Who wouldn’t, really? Instant liquid photosynthesis and a natural tan? I’m for it. Today’s pick is a country-fried, slide  git-tar on fire lament that could only ever have been made in middle America. Fans of Cracker, Old 97s, Drive By Truckers, Social Distortion and even Soul Asylum will drink down 500 Miles To Memphis hungrily without any concern for the consequences. Morning? What morning? Nihilistic, self flagellating country doom rock at its very best.

Ivory Joe Hunter’s “I Almost Lost My Mind” live a thing of sublime beauty

Ivory Joe Hunter – “I Almost Lost My Mind” mp3

You know, as an mp3 blogger, I’m not really a critic, because I only ever talk about music here that I really, really like, and not music I don’t like. That’s my thing. And while I try to discuss intelligently whenever I can, the gems I find, sometimes, I must confess, I am left without words. This live recording of Ivory Joe Hunter singing “I Almost Lost My Mind,” at The Grand Ole Opry is so good, that I will have to sit out, and let it speak for itself. Enjoy.
