So the YouTube video I picked for the Pine Hill Haints shows them making music with a guitar (normal), a snare drum (still normal), a washboard and a washtub bass ("Mama, when I grow up I wanna play a washboard!" True aspiration). They are surprisingly good and contemporary. They had a song on Hart of Dixie (does that show still come on? I dunno.) called Walkin' Talkin' Deadman. I have to include this song too! Click here for a listen!
This week I plan on going to Music City Roots (because it's cheap and I wanna see John & Jacob and The Pine Hill Haints) and to Grimey's to see The Wild Feathers perform in-store. I am also OBSESSED with I'm Alive by Michael Franti & Spearhead, such a happy perfect song for summer. I am not ashamed to say that it has played on a loop more than twice. I will definitely be DVR'ing that on Tuesday or maybe even watching it live. *gasp*
Just in case you don't know who Booker T Jones is, lemme tell ya. His song, Green Onions, has probably been in every movie ever made since 1962 (okay, okay exaggeration... but it's alot). You may not know the guy, but you know the song. You have to know the song. If not, please tell me because that means you don't like music or movies and we can't be friends (kidding, of course. Love you all!). Click here to hear it.
