Song of the Day
The Monkees – Goin’ Down
In case you missed the news… We’re thrilled to announce we’re reopening the (ware)HOUSE on June 4, and Sarah Potenza will be our guest. Sarah was scheduled to play the (ware)HOUSE in 2020. But we had to postpone due to COVID. This rescheduled concert is a name-your-price event. We encourage you to donate $25/ticket — more…
Read MoreDrew Holcomb and the Neighbors – Coming Home
I saw Drew Holcomb and his wife, Ellie, at the Sheldon Concert Hall in St. Louis in February. A great show! They played several new songs — some written while traveling around Tennessee in an RV, with their three children, during the height of the pandemic. This is one of those songs. The title track…
Read MoreKeb’ Mo’ (w/ Old Crow Medicine Show) – The Medicine Man
Here’s one Keb’ Mo’ wrote last in 2020 while cooped up ’cause of COVID. He and his pals from Old Crow Medicine Show recorded it together. And he released it last year on his album Good to Be… Today’s Song Title: The Medicine Man Artist: Keb’ Mo’ (w/ Old Crow Medicine Show) Album: Good to…
Read MoreMary Gauthier – Amsterdam
Hi (ware)HOUSE Concerts friend. Sorry for the unannounced Song of the Say hiatus. But I’m back… …inspired by today’s artist, Mary Gauthier. I learned today that she has a new album coming out in June… …but she’s already released one song from it. I heard the song and thought, “I gotta share this one with…
Read MoreJimmy LaFave – Going Home
Good to see you again. Sorry I’ve been a stranger. I’ve been getting into Jimmy LaFave lately. So many great songs. I thought this would be a nice one to share on Valentine’s week. Put this on, turn it up, and hug your honey. And if you can’t be with the honey you love, hug…
Read MoreGeorge Jones (with Elvis Costello) – There’s a Stranger in the House
In 1980, Elvis Costello was THE angry young man. I saw him live around that time, and he sang half the time with his back to the audience. After his first three albums — My Aim is True, This Year’s Model, and Armed Forces — were released in 1977, 1978, and 1979. And then, in…
Read MoreAlbin Lee Meldau – Til the Sun Comes Around Again
I’m not even sure how this happened… …I stumbled upon KSYM — a small community radio station on the campus of San Antonio College in Texas. I’ve been streaming the station a lot lately. It plays a strange combination of old-timey roots music and alternative rock. I heard today’s artist on that station and liked…
Read MoreEleven Hundred Springs – See You in the Next Life
Eleven Hundred Springs was a Dallas-based band that ended its 23-year run in November 2021. I missed the entire thing. They never blinked on my radar until last month when I heard today’s song on WMOT (Nashville roots radio — which I often listen to online). Sorry I missed them… …because I like this song……
Read MoreSusanna Hoffs (with Aimee Mann) – Name of the Game
Susanna Hoffs and Aimee Mann both fronted popular bands in the 1980s — Hoffs with the Bangles and Mann with ’til Tuesday. But they left that behind long ago. Both have had long, successful solo careers. Mann is a GREAT songwriter. Hoffs writes less and records lots of covers — including a series of excellent…
Read MoreEli “Paperboy” Reed – Mama Tried
This one is hot off the presses. Eli “Paperboy” Reed won’t release his new album, “Down Every Road” until April 29, 2022… …but earlier this week, he released a single from the album. The album cover looks like it came from the late 1960s. And so does the sound. Tonight’s song is a cover of…
