So I came across these guys on Twitter quite accidentally. I saw the fifth video they had done to the news and the Dancing Ana Marie Cox and Rachael Maddow were just too hot. Imagine my delight when I came across the Auto Tune The News page at Amie Street. Not only can you download most of the mp3’s for the auto tune the news videos, you can now listen to them any time. And of course, there’s the Gregory Brothers the more serious side to the group.

So this weeks cut is from the debut album from the Canadian actress (best known for her role on Law and Order) Jill Hennessy. Its a nice blusey rock album with sounds of Melissa Etheridge and is actually a nice sounding album.
Give the album a listen and catch some reruns of Crossing Jordan or Law and Order while you eat your hungry man dinner off a tv stand.

As its the first name of my Oldest Daughter, the name of the Newest Album by Gypsy Tailwind caught my eye. Grace is full of some good rock tinged folksy music that borders more on Country then Folk. However, with soulful lyrics, amazing vocals and the band to back it all up, Grace is definitely worth a listen.
I posted their first track, Way To Here, from the album here (which is currently FREE), but the one that is a must listen is the second song on this album. The Letter is an amazing piece that infuses brass with your standard country tune and gives it a very bluesy feel. Highly worth it.

Ok, so I’m a day late, but I’m not a dollar short. Its amazing what you can find on AmieStreet and todays ASMW is another good example. Yes, I picked this group simply because of their name, however, Trampled by Turtles bluegrass tunes are simply fun listening.
Take for example, this one about wanting to be a school bus driver. Oh, and enjoy your summer break. You lousy kids you.

Sometimes there’s a group out there who you just marvel at the talent and skill the group has. You wonder how it can be that someone can play so masterfully. So it is with the trio known as The Lovell Sisters.
I first came across these girls one weekend morning flipping through the channels and on the short lived Turner station that was about the south there was a show featuring southern artists. I was intrigued as here was a group of girls (sisters) who played some of the best bluegrass and folk I had heard in a while. This album (their second on Amie Street) is evidence that these girls are definately going to be something hot someday soon.
Anyways, check out the two songs below, take one moment is about taking a moment to enjoy the one you love and Ichetucknee Chutney is one of the BEST bluegrass tunes to come around in a while.

Wow! Schools out (or out at the end of the week) for most of the Country now, Memorial Day is this weekend and the official start to summer is upon us. We all know what that means. Summer time is when we coat the kids with Off, the Dogs with Frontline and the bald heads with sun block and head outside to enjoy the fresh air and the sun (unless you’re in the South East at the moment in which case you’re enjoying higher than normal amounts of rain…).
Here to help you ease in to Summer Time is Brent Ellis. His cover of summertime is a nice, light and airy version what will have you sitting on your front porch sipping a sweet tea or mint julep in no time. In fact, most of the tracks on this album are quite jazzy and worth the listen.
Oh, and if you have a blog and aren’t participating in Amie Street Music Wednesday yet, why not? You could win a couple bucks on Amie Street to help feed your music addiction!

Grace Graduates this Friday from Preschool. I know its not really that big of a deal (and I wish there wasn’t a ceremony or anything) but it kind of is. Next year, she’ll be taking off to the world of Kindergarten and big kid school. Its a big step.
In honor, I’ve selected the song ‘Graduation’ By Jake Shumabukuro this week. It has a nice beachy sound (it is a Ukelele) and it fitting. If you haven’t had the chance to hear any of Jakes other songs, I highly recommend them! He’s toured with some impressive names as well.
Also, if you’re not participating in Amie Street Music Wednesday yet, you really should be. Its a good way to find new music on one of the best sites around and who knows, you could win $25 of credit at Amie Street like I did!

Our third daughter is supposed to be joining us any day now (if I had my preference it would have been earlier this week). I came across this little number by Taken By Trees while searching for another artist (that Amie Street ended up not having). The song choice today is “Sweet Child of Mine” and is a really good cover of the original song. Listen to the music and think 80’s hair bands! But hotter.

Spring is well under way here in the south, indeed most everywhere and as such I wanted to share a little ditty called Flower with you. I know nothing about it, other than its name, and the price is right (FREE). Check it out. Oh, Amy’s favorite Flower is the hydrangea, whats yours?

I came across today’s ASMW group by accident as I was strolling through the recommended list on Amie Street and came across the group Minus the Bear. The song in question, Ice Monster, is a fun little ditty on their album Acoustics and it features a good mix of rhythm and lyrics and is a quality addition to any collection.
