I went hunting for this new(ish) song this past week:

And I gathered this stone cold classic that I'm quite honestly shocked hasn't already been added:

I really like Cobi. Can’t say I love his entire catalog but he’s definitely very talented and I enjoy most of what I’ve heard.

Here is my contribution for the week.

Little Black Submarines- The Black Keys. How in the world are The Black Keys not already on the playlists?!? So happy to rectify this issue.

I've been remiss of late in contributing, but there's some really good songs in the soundtrack of the Hunger Games movies that would fit in the blues category, or close to.

"Kingdom Come" is a good one, by The Civil Wars.

Also, "Run Daddy Run" by Miranda Lambert.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EheyVUGAFDU

Also, because why not, "Dark Days", by the Punch Brothers.

I just can't go more than a week or so without praising the guitar playing of Joe, but this collab with Frampton deserves attention. https://open.spotify.com/track/2r46l03PjLiW5Xy6BLMfbj?si=a9389146af424e14

Today on "How country can I make the Blues Wednesday playlist" I present Cry Pretty by Jason Eady but specifically the one where it's acoustic and Courtney Patton is doing the background vocals.

Just gathered another longtime favorite that has such a great swampy swagger.

My wife is a total Kelly Clarkson freak. I think she has a great voice but I dislike most of her pop stuff. But every once in awhile she hits a homer.
