Jimmie Rodgers - T For Texas

This song post via Mike Finnigan who is on the road with Bonnie Raitt at present and gigging in Meridian Mississippi. Mike wrote to his Facebook page: "We're in Meridian, Mississippi today, the birthplace of the great Jimmy Rogers (well, there's a plaque here that makes that claim, though hisrtorians identify Pine Springs, Mississippi, just north of Meridian, as his genuine birthplace). Rogers is acknowledged by many as "The Father of Country Music." Also, "The Blue Yodeler," and "The Singing Brakeman." His influence on all forms of Popular American Music, and all its genres was considerable."

Thanks for yet another great post, Mike. Peace Love Groove, GC

Besides being a legendary blues/soul vocalist and Hammond B3 player, Mike Finnigan is a prolific political blogger with a hard core following. When he is not touring with Bonnie Raitt, Joe Cocker, Taj Majal or any one of dozens of great acts, Mike is playing with a tasty blues group known as Phantom Blues Band.

And... by the way, Lynyrd Skynyrd covered this song...

Made You Die - Trayvon Martin Tribute (Rap)

It's a sign of the times. There is a national cry to resist the vigilante police state in America and the shooting of Trayvon Martin was the most recent flash point that is galvanizing many. This is not a feel good tribute song. This is hard core hip hip with some fierce rap featuring Yasiin Bey, Dead Prez, and mikeflo. Think. Be a weapon of mass dissent. Fight The Police State with your mind. Peace Love Groove, GC

via Mark Severino, heard about a young group from Hamburg Germany spending time in the United States and is doing concerts on the Venice Beach boardwalk. According to Severino, the group name, denmantau, means "Let's Get High" in a dying German dialect. Enjoy! Peace Love Groove, GC

Gaby Moreno to perform The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

A longtime MusicLoad favorite artist, Gaby Moreno, will be performing on NBC's Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Thursday May 3, 2012. Gaby will be performing alongside Carl Carlton, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Lang, Shawn Mullins, Leland Sklar (one of my favorite bassists), Eric Burdon and others to perform the song "Toast To Freedom" to commemorate 50 years of Amnesty International.

I seriously, have so much respect for Gaby. She is one of those artists who has stuck her guns and been herself, all the way. When people tried to make her something that she was not, she kind of resists without being mean.... keeps a smile on her face while knowing who she is. She just goes her own way, every day. And to watch where she has gone.... it really makes me smile. She is the example of what it means to be a true indie in such a major way.

If you don't catch her on Jay Leno, she is worth chasing down on YouTube. Her songs are authentically her as she lives and plays in the moment and everything she does is magic. Her music has touched and even revived parts of my soul. Wishing that you'll be lucky enough that she and her music will touch yours too.
