The Hold Steady

Here is a "hidden gem" from the band.

Thought Pirate and maybe others might appreciate this tiny desk vid.

The new Rival Sons album, Darkfighter, is quite good. Of course, as a fan, I'm biased.

Quote:Yes its so long since I've been home
Seems like theres no place to roam
Well I've sailed around the Horn
I've been from San Jose up to Baffin Bay
And I've rode out many a storm

Now I've courted many a girl
I've been in ports all around the world
But my rambling days are done
I've been from Curacao up to Tokyo
And I've found there's only one

This is a cover of Hoyt Axton's hit song. He is finally signed on RCA records, the song is inside the top 20 ITune country charts, and his album is still inside the top. The song went top 10 on the Americana charts, and is from what I understand, being released to country radio.

This came up on my Youtube playlist, and found out this guy wrote this song as a joke with his girlfriend making fun at the wussy country singers of today singing songs that only female singers would sing.

She is talented for the sounds she makes in the song. This is picking up steam now viral after 6 years being out. Just like Jain's Makeba released in 2015 and now climbing the charts in the US today.

Here is the Jain's song. Target is using it for their commercials now as well. Was already a hit world wide 7 years ago, but now a hit in the US.

Welcome back to the US charts, Kylie. Number 37 on the pop radio airplay charts now.

This 1959 hit was put in the film The Wonderful Mrs Maisel, and it is going viral on TikTok with the Pink Shoe Lace dance challange which is gaining sales on ITune by the young people.

Another song that is going viral on TikTok and Youtube for dance challange.

Cold War hormones

OK, last one

Was released on country radio, and hit the top 40 Music Row charts.

She is doing cover songs on her new album.
