Crosby Morgan

MusicLoad.Com presents Crosby Morgan

A dynamic emerging young singer, guitarist, songwriter, and recording-engineer named Crosby Morgan is someone we caught live while she was busking on the Venice Beach boardwalk on a sunny Southern California day.

It was love at first listen. The way she touched and plucked her strings was what sucked me in like magic, picking so smooth rambling like a freight train that it grabbed my ear and spun me around to look as she was heading into the very first song of hers that I feel lucky to have come upon.  Bought her record, referenced in the above photo and heard all of her songs, not once, but for numerous enchanting spins.

Her voice has a purity reminiscent of early Joni Mitchell. This is not meant to insinuate that Crosby is emulating anyone, because she most certainly is not. She is doing her own thing and it's sweet.

She has been paying her dues busking and honing her skills in the fine craft of recording. Her music, her presence and her obvious artistic and personal sensitivity has an authenticism that is delightful as it comes across in her music on the street live and in her recordings. After hearing some of her story, it is apparent that she's a real dedicated artist to the core and she rates high on this network's list of artists who are worthy of attention by music lovers everywhere.

This first song below is titled breathe. It is the opening track to her album titled BLESSED MEMORY.


Next is song #2 and the title track on the BLESSED MEMORY album.


Next is her song titled Blame. It is track #6 from the BLESSED MEMORY album.

Black Suns

Introducing Black Suns

Here is a cool sounding act still under the radar. Black Suns are Otha Derek, Mishka Bier, Daniel Camarena on Bass and Dillan Wheeler. It is our opinion that these songs should be turned up loud.

True Revolution is Love - True Revolution is Peace

MusicLoad presents Nneka My Fairy Tales 2015 Live in Berlin

A line from a Nneka song that says "True Revolution is Love - True Revolution is Peace" is a line our so called leaders should heed from this politically inspired Nigerian firebrand of substance, whose new album being released right now is titled My Fairy Tales.

The full concert featured below was filmed live in Berlin at a stop on her "My Fairy Tales 2015 Tour".

Purple - Hard Rocking Fun from Texas

MusicLoad presents Purple

A band simply known as Purple is a great hard rock trio that kills! And they know how to have fun while they do it. Hanna Brewer is on drums and vocals, Joe "Prankser" Cannariato is on bass guitar and Taylor Busby on guitar and vocals. They recently returned home to Texas fresh off their European tour of several sold out shows.

The very cool basic and raw live recording below perfectly captures the essence of the coolness of Purple and the shooters and audio engineers deserve a big thumbs up. It was filmed in Austin last year by a local Texas event website called Do512 with sponsorship from Bud Light. Purple exudes the kind of unadulterated pure energy that we love and we appreciate those who know how to capture those kind of moments so well. mlv

Lianne La Havas second album titled Blood announced - Hear 1st single: Unstoppable

MusicLoad presents Lianne La Havas' latest single Unstoppable

Just a few weeks ago, at this link, we featured some of Lianne La Havas' earlier song gems that were a result of heartbreak, but fortunately helped launch her career.

Today, she just released her first new single titled Unstoppable from the full album that will be titled Blood when it is released on July 31, 2015.

Instead of singing about her past broken heart, like much of her earlier repertoire, this song is about new unstoppable love. The song sounds just right for a James Bond film soundtrack. Turn it up!



and here is a cool remix of Unstoppable by Jungle, who we have featured here

Alex Nester is what "it" is...

MusicLoad presents Alex Nester

As far back as I can remember, one of my missions in life was to know about young acts that are coming up, before the labels caught up with them.

I love that feeling of getting excited when I hear new organic talent I haven't heard before. I am talking about the excitement of hearing unmanufactured music from artists who have nurtured their sound, tapped into their own inner genius that we all have, but few of us ever tap. Someone who can sit down with with no backup and deliver the goods.

With all that said, this artist below named Alex Nester, is one of those real deal artists.

I stumbled upon her while walking down a bustling Main St. and heard her singing this song for a supper crowd. I had to go in. It turned out she was performing an original song, written and dedicated to her grandparents, that she had not yet recorded. But now she has.

Hope you all enjoy what this girl's brand of soul is all about.

Lianne La Havas - Forget + Is Your Love Big Enough

MusicLoad presents the accidental artist, Lianne La Havas

As a huge fan of Lianne La Havas who has caught more than a couple of her live shows, I was mesmerized by her music upon first listen. Later, I discovered the story of the ex-boyfriend, who if I am not mistaken is a songwriter himself, and that the bad breakup she had with him is what drove her to pick up the guitar and begin to write songs in the first place.  That puts her on the list of great accidental artists.  Like so many great inventions, many of them are accidents.

Her album must have been a skewer through the heart of the ex. It must have made him feel like the target of a voodoo doll ritual when he came around to listening to it, or hearing the snickers behind his back, by those who know, wherever he goes for the rest of his life. I pity the man, but he rightly can take a little bit of credit for making some great music history.

The song below starts off: "You spend all your time writing love songs, but you don't love me..."

Lianne La Havas - Forget

The thing I love about this next take is that it's just Lianne and her guitar over her shoulder, without a band and how she has such a unique one of kind guitar style. The first line is "Found myself in a second-hand guitar..."

Lianne La Havas - Is Your Love Big Enough? (Live on Taratata TV in France)

Lianne La Havas is one of the great living authentic self created artists of substance out there. I recommend listening to more of her excellent repertoire. Below are some more handpicked tracks featured on this network.

Elle King - Love Stuff (Music Videos)

MusicLoad presents Elle King

We recall featuring Elle King here on MusicLoad three years ago in March of 2012, by way of another artist we dig known as Epick, who we featured here in July 2008.

Just below are two videos that are connected to King's most recent album titled Love Stuff. She is a versatile artist who should not be pigeonholed, but she cruises well and nicely in the rockabilly mode of this first song and creative music video below.

Elle King - Ex's & Oh's

Next are some shots and sounds of Elle in Memphis Tennessee where she records in the original Sun Studio that the legendary Sam Phillips made famous. Phillips is not only known for launching Elvis' career, he discovered Howlin' Wolf, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Johnny Cash. Just the tip of the iceberg inside the history of the little studio that screams Memphis is still alive with today's artists feeling the spirits of their predecessors as good use is still being squeezed out of the iconic space. In fact, there is an archive here of numerous artists recording there in recent years.

Ziggy Marley's Fly Rasta w/ U-Roy (Grammy Win, Best Reggae Album)

MusicLoad.Com presents Ziggy Marley Fly Rasta

Big congratulations to Ziggy Marley for his 4th Grammy win in the Best Reggae Album category in this 2015 round for his album Fly Rasta.  His first Best New Album win occurred in 1997 with Fallen From Babylon.  The next win was in 2006 with his Love Is My Religion album.  Then, in 2013 his won Best Reggae Album, again, for Ziggy Marley in Concert album.  Then there is another string of other Grammy wins for over the years such as when he won Best Musical Album for Children in 2009. And before that, in 1988 he won the Grammy for Best Reggae Recording for Conscious Party and in 1989 he won Best Reggae Recording for One Bright Day.  In terms of Grammy wins, Ziggy Marley has proven to be a long term dominator.

More concisely put, Ziggy Marley grooves, works hard and he is humble, just like his father who was his role model. Awards aside, the groove is in Ziggy Marley & Company's music and how it makes you feel, which is great. Turn it up, dance, sing along and enjoy!

More Antibalas - Filmed Live on KEXP

MusicLoad.Com presents Antibalas

Out of Seattle, Washington, is a KEXP-FM, a radio station whose slogan is "where the music matters". They have proven to be much more than a radio station, they have a crew of cameras, lights and action. Kudos to devoted staff of KEXP and a big thank you for a job consistently well done.

One of their great timeless takes is of the real music group off the Daptone Records imprint known as Antibalas, a group that is well known for being the band for the broadway production of Fela, based on the life of AfroBeat pioneer and outspoken human rights & political activist, Fela Kuti of Lagos Nigeria.  Antibalas captured the real vibration of Fela Kuti's signature sound beautifully for that production.

The band, as explained in the brief interview between songs inside this wonderful filmed in-studio performance, is one that changes up members from time to time and can number of players can fluctuate. Regardless of the lineup on any given show, the real deal sound of Antibalas never stops. The skill of these players is something to be honored, for bands with real horns and players like this is practically a dying art. Kudos to KEXP and to Antibalas for your devotion to real music from all genres.

A Tasty Live Take of Gaby Moreno

MusicLoad.Com presents Gaby Moreno - photo by Leslie Lowe
Gaby Moreno in her element - Photo by friend and bassist Leslie Lowe
Some of the greatest new filmed music experiences these days are originating in the studios of public radio and college radio stations. That is the case with this nice take below of long time MusicLoad favorite artist, Gaby Moreno. This was filmed in the studio of KUTX-FM at the University of Texas at Austin, a NPR affiliate.

A multi-lingual artist originally from Guatemala, Gaby fluently speaks Spanish, English and The Blues. This song featured below is her own Spanish language original. It was track #6 from her third album, entirely in Spanish, which was named Postales. It helped lead her to becoming the 2013 Latin Grammy winner in the Best New Artist category, a well deserved award.

Her repertoire is not limited to Spanish and she definitely has what it takes to win English language Grammys in numerous categories in the future, based on her genuine authenticity underneath and on top of her uncontrived music of substance. Quite a rarity.
