read: http://www.taprootradio.com Howdy, Don’t forget, Taproot Radio is running a theme contest. $200 cash prize to the musician/band that submits the best theme music. Deadline is April 12th. Check out the theme contest website for more details. Finally got a listen to Dodd Ferrelle’s latest, Lonely Parades. Kinda reminds me of the rock and roll days of REM, but with a little more twang and a lot more heart. The big surprise for me has been Black Joe Lewis. Think an edgier version of Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. Think Scott H. Biram in a Soul mood. Think, god help us, James Brown for the New Millennium. I hear tell he tore it up at SXSW. I wasn’t there. But as a consolation prize I did post one of his videos to the web site. I’m putting 5 tracks from his latest CD, Tell ‘Em What Your Name Is, into rotation. With this CD, the Dirty Laundry CDs, and the New Orleans Funk CDs, I’m flush with Soul music at Taproot Radio and this is a very good thing.
