Howdy,
It’s shaping up to be a great music week in our neck of the woods with Marah, The Blue Dogs, and Two Cow Garage all coming to town. If you’re local to the Carrboro/Chapel Hill area be sure to book mark the Taproot Music Calendar and check back often for music show updates.
We’ve hit that perfect time of year in the Carolina’s where it’s warm but not oppressively hot so it’s the time of year for happy, sunny, high energy music. The two CDs that are fitting the bill for me right now are Joe Ely’s Happy Songs from Rattlesnake Gulch and the Hackensaw Boys cd Look Out!
Last week’s poll to rate your favorite artists from Stax records mostly revealed all the usual favorites:
Mable John
Otis Redding
Ruby Johnson
Sam and Dave
The Staple Singers
Dig Deep,
Calvin
Video:
“Diamonds To Dust” by Gurf Morlix
