One of my favorite new bands, composed of three young singers from separate bands, is Middle Brother. Their new Daytrotter Session is a double -- 8 free songs. Enjoy! You should also pick up their excellent, self-titled album.

Last year I fell in love with Delta Spirit (& other bands) for one reason alone: Daytrotter's Barnstormer tour. This year there are 5 stops on the Daytrotter Barnstormer IV Tour from April 26-30. Two are in Illinois, with other stops in Minnesota, Michigan, & Iowa. Bands include Sondre Lerche, Guards, The Romany Rye, Keegan Dewitt, and Hellogoodbye, though the line-up isn't exactly the same at each location.
Every stop has at least four bands and each stop is only $15. Can't recommend this enough. Unique concerts for up and coming bands.
It's Music Monday and you need some good new music at a good price. Here you go!

Wanda Jackson on Letterman. Jack White plays on, and I believe produced her newest album, The Party Ain't Over. He's with her for this fun, live performance of "Shakin' All Over"...
Check out this father-daughter rendition of Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes song, "Home." If you don't have it, their self-titled album is so good & only $5.
Justin Townes Earle live on Letterman | Abraham Piper points to a great video from Son House about "The real old blues." Excellent.
The Black Keys on SNL. Man, I love these guys. Crank. It. UP.
If you haven't seen the Atomic Tom video where they play an entire song on the subway, you need to see it. Great fun!
Have you ever heard of Jim Sullivan? Me neither...
Sullivan released his debut album, U.F.O., in 1969 and played to devoted crowds at a regular gig in Malibu, Calif., in the early '70s. Despite hanging out with movie stars, fame eluded him. In 1975, he left Los Angeles, and his wife and son, to head to Nashville; he thought he could catch a break there. But Sullivan never made it to Tennessee — somewhere in the New Mexico desert, he disappeared, never to be seen again. Now,U.F.O. has been reissued...
Some dude saw the unknown album on eBay, picked it up and it's out there again. You can now get U.F.O. on Amazon. I've probably heard it four times now and really enjoy it.
The mysterious nature of his disappearance is amplified by Jim Sullivan's cryptic lyrics — on U.F.O., he talks about long highways, leaving his family behind and being abducted by aliens in the desert.
Fascinating. I enjoy the album without the story, but it adds to the mystery. Go check out the samples. I think you'll dig it. Listen to the All Things Considered segment. Here's more on the story...
Here's "Jerome"...
Pay what you want for Dunham Van Durham's Christmas album, Christmas From the Heartland. That's my photo on the cover. And seriously, we really enjoy the album each Christmas in our home. You need to check it out, stream it, download it.
Bradford Cox of Deerhunter/Atlas Sound offers four albums of demos for FREE: Atlas Sound Bedroom Database. I've heard about a dozen songs and I'm loving it. Atlas Sound: Logos is one of my favorite albums to listen to while working ($8.99).
I shouldn't have to say how fantastic The Suburbs by Arcade Fire is. It's outstanding. Did you know you can get it today for $1.99? Yeah. Also Neon Bible is $5.99 & Funeral is $5. Here's the Spike Jonze directed video for "The Suburbs," which visualizes a very near, dark future for the burbs.
I just love the Bing Crosby/David Bowie TV duet of "Little Drummer Boy." Get Bing Crosby: I Wish You A Merry Christmas today only for $1.99. White Christmas is only $3.99. Awesome.
If you read my music posts even occasionally you probably know of my love of all things Delta Spirit. Both of their first two albums are outstanding: Ode To Sunshine (2008) | History From Below (2010). They recently appeared on Jools Holland playing one of my favorite songs, "Bushwick Blues."
And here's "9/11" from the same show...
The Woodlands self-titled album is my new discovery. Their name, their music and this video make me think of autumn. Beautiful.
The Civil Wars sing "Forget Me Not."
If you haven't picked up Matthew Smith's new album, Watch the Rising Day, I'm not sure what you are waiting for. It's great. Order here and use the code 'steve' for 15% off the CD ('steveLP' 10% off the vinyl).
