New Speedway Boogie-Grateful Dead(9/20/70)

One of my favorite traditions is listening to the Dead all day on the 4th.  There’s nothing more American than the Grateful Dead.

Also a shoutout to my favorite tumblr site.

Everything Here(Reach for the Sky)-Cowboy

When you hear the name Capricorn Records, it immediately conjures up images of the Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker Band and Wet Willie.  All these are great bands, but it’s what lies beneath the surface that make this one of my favorite labels, people like: Eric Quincy Tate, Grinderswitch, Captain Beyond, Johnny Jenkins, Sea Level, Eddie Hinton and Cowboy.  It also doesn’t hurt that Capricorn is my hometown record label.

Rock With You-Michael Jackson

RIP Michael

Its easily forgotten how brilliant his music was.  I could put on Thriller right now and I guarantee you almost everybody from 30-55 would sing along to every word of the album even though they had not heard it in years, even decades.  It’s like somebody planted it in our brains.

That Would Be Something-Paul McCartney

In honor of today’s announcement that Sir Paul will be playing 6 blocks from my house in Piedmont Park.
