Music Monday 1.25.10

The Brandi Carlile concert at The Pabst was outstanding Thursday night. I caught most of her cover of Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues." You need to get Brandi's album Give Up The Ghost. Katie Herzig opened for Brandi. Her music is fairly new to me, and delightful. Live music is a great way to discover new music. Check out Katie Herzig's albums, especially Apple Tree. The folks at The Pabst posted a bunch of photos from the concert you can check out. 

I watched It Might Get Loud on DVD with Jack White, The Edge and Jimmy Page this week. Great fun. Gained a lot of respect for Jack White in particular. After he played his favorite all time song, "Grinnin' In Your Face," from Son House, I just had to download his Father of the Delta Blues: The Complete 1965 Sessions.

Check out The Low Anthem's Tiny Desk Concert. Molly and I will see them open for The Avett Brothers in March at The Riverside in Milwaukee.

The XX have a new video for "VCR." Cool, mellow, creative...

Hey Steve,

You should check out Jeremy Larson's music. He's the guy who produced Daniel Renstrom's Christmas album and puts out his own stuff. Amazing talent. Multi-instrumentalist.

Then from Larson's website I "discovered" Chris Merritt. Again very talented and fun to listen to.

Love your blog, Steve. First stop on Tuesdays (Mondays in US).

I will check it out Max. Thanks much!
