lacking of the time to share music leaves a void. since the last post i have changed jobs and added a second radio show. oh and the radio gigs aren't my job, they are hobbies so time is a commodity for me these days but i still manage to squeeze in music and the discovery thereof. i like to dig for my tunes and in doing so i find some great ones... and... some not so great....
time. i still find enough to hear... tunes... sounds.
sound...
the sound in my ear now is My Morning Jacket. in the event that you haven't heard of these guys, and i would be surprised if you haven't. anyhow, they are a louisville-based outfit that i would call "dream-pop-rock'. lots of folks have come to love this band so you may as well. just be careful, oversaturation looms for these cats as so many have them spinning on their sound medium and they just keep churning out a lot of material.
that sound comes to me from Bret Foster's "The Colonel's Weekly Playlist" from Spotify. Bret offers up new sounds every week and you probably will find something you like!
divvy...
and now i share... beginning in the soul/pop/funk realm and ending up with folk.

| time... sound... divvy can be heard on Spotify |
The albums on the playlist are below.
Eli "Paperboy" Reed - Walkin' and Talkin'
a Boston boy who saturated himself in a Delta vibe in Clarksdale, MS and then headed off to Chicago to further his education in both sociology and the blues. this is hi first recorded project and it led to much attention when he returned to Boston to focus on his musical career.
Jessee Dee - On My Mind/In My Heart
another Boston native who cut his musical teeth with a 10-piece soul outfit called Decifunk and with the rock group The Dirty Whites. he finally learned to play guitar and eventually fronted his own act. this cat tours often and has opened for Al Green, Etta James, Solomon Burke and Amy Lavette.
The Fabulous Three - Truth and Soul presents The Best of The Fabulous Three
this is not a group and it is not the folks on the cover. this is a studio session album that includes a revolving group of musicians conjured together by producers Jeff Dynamite and Leon Michaels.
Lee Moses - Time and Place
Atlanta native Lee Moses is revered by deep soul enthusiasts who only recorded only one studio project... this one. Moses spent quite a bit of time in New York offering his talents as a studio musician.
Danny Barnes - Things I Done Wrong
Texas native who has a knack on mashing up many different types of music to deliver something that hold true to the genre he's tackling while still expanding the seams. help to form an outfit called Bad Livers with Mark Rubin and Ralph White that is worthy in any music collection.
Johnny Gimble - The Texas Fiddle Collection
another Texas fella who is know as one of the best fiddlers in the Texas swing genre. he's worked with Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson and Chet Atkins
Anna and Elizabeth - Anna and Elizabeth
a duo with musical ties to New England, Kentucky, Virginia and beyond. these two first met up due to a broken down car and the music they have come to make is spiritual, soulful and extremely respectful of the mountain music that was made before them.
In the first hour we'll start off with a bit of Earl Scruggs as a nod to his incredible influence on the banjo. It would be hard to find a modern-day banjo player not influenced by his three-fingered style in some way. It's not often that a musician can say they changed the way an instrument was played but Scruggs did. 
We will also take a listen to music from the year 1973 this morning. The year saw Secretariat become the first horse to win the Triple Crown in 25 years. The Thoroughbred set race records in The Kentucky Derby and at The Belmont Stakes... records that still stand today. Raquel Welch was the hottest actress of the day and Burger King wanted you to “Have it Your Way”. Richard Nixon told us "People have got to know whether or not their President is a crook. Well, I'm not a crook. I've earned everything I've got." The MRI was invented and the first air bag appeared on the Oldsmobile Toronado. All in the Family was the #1 TV show and Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Roberta Flack, The Edgar Winter Group, Jim Croce and The Rolling Stones all had #1 songs as well as Marvin Gaye with “Let’s Get it On”.
Joe Pug will be performing at Lovett Auditorium Sunday, April 15th here on the campus of Murray State University. We will open the third-hour with a sampling of music by Pug including the title cut from his Messenger release from 2010, "Call it What You Will" from EP and "Lock the Door Christina from In the Meantime. Pug, a Maryland native, got his start in music in the sixth grade after a science teacher dared his friends to come up with a musical act for the school dance. He went on to college in North Carolina before dropping out to relocate to Chicago and dedicate more time to songwriting. Pug has 4 releases to his credit since 2007. You can find more info at
