For this edition of BBR I’m choosing a new addition to the collection…

Ms. Nancy Wilson’s – All In Love Is Fair!

Track #2 & #3: Try It, You’ll Like It/ There’ll Always Be Forever

I picked this album up in Fort Wayne, IN at The Wooden Nickel last week for under a buck, and have listened to it a few times since we’ve been back home. I hadn’t listened to much Nancy Wilson before, and as soon as I saw the cover I knew I had no reason not be buy it. Needles to say it’s definitely becoming a favorite. Hope y’all enjoy!

Tonight we’re playing in New Orleans and rocking the walls at The Maison on Frenchmen St. – Charles Bronson style – from 10 to Midnight! It’s a free show too so come on out and spend your Friday with us!

Man it’s been a while since my last post, but fear not good folks because I’ve been busy collecting and enjoying some amazing records during the “off season.” While browsing through a local antique shop on Magazine St. this was found ..

Ms Sydney Doyle deserves all the credit, y’all!

Yep, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band‘s first album “My Feet Can’t Fail Me Now,” and it’s on vinyl! I about jumped out of my shoes when I saw this y’all! The Dozen are heroes in New Orleans for keeping the brass band scene alive back in the late 70s. We had the the good fortune to share the stage with them a few years back at the Green River Festival in Massachusetts, and it was definitely a check off the bucket list. We’ve been performing their original tune “Blackbird Special” for a few months now and it’s been a hit at our shows. This album features the original lineup with the traditional split kit setup and a track list of originals and covers that are sure to get you moving. Here’s a video of the title track performed live!

Tonight we’re in Detroit at the always wonderful Cliff Bell’s. Showtime is 9pm. See y’all there! ~Boots

I’ve finally reached that point on the road where I’ve collected too many records and I have no more space for them in the van….oh well.

For this edition of BBR I’ve chosen a record from a little well known band called FUCKIN’ CREEDENCE ….actually it’s Creedence Clearwater Revival and the album is Cosmo’s Factory!

I picked up this album in a Salvation Army for maybe $2. I also bought a few VHS tapes for maybe $2 as well. It’s a good thing when you can find great things for hardly any money!

Tonight we’re rocking the walls in Flagstaff, AZ at The Green Room! Check it out!

0 New Music Video for Animal

Our newest music video for Animal is now live and rolling! Check it out!

This is our 9th official music video, from our 9th, just-released studio album “Important Things Humans Should Know”. The introduction to the video was hand-animated by Noah on the road during the first 2 months of our Important Things Tour (April & May 2015). The video and recording also features a handmade, fully-functional shotgun guitar (which Noah built himself). It is the only one known to exist in the world and took a year to make.

The video was filmed by Noah and up-and-coming New Orleans-based photographer Joshua Bradsted (whose work has been featured in Rolling Stone, The NY Times, Paste, and many more).

Hope yall enjoy! And thanks again to Mxdwn for hosting the premiere! Much love, and please share it everywhere!

Have you ever heard of Ms. Édith Piaf?

Édith Piaf, also known as “The Little Sparrow,” was a French singer who became an icon of France during World War II. Born in 1915 on the streets near Belleville, she grew up in a bordello, eventually becoming a vaudevillian street performer in her teens with her acrobat father. It wasn’t until 1935, when she was finally discovered by a nightclub owner in Paris, that she began singing professionally and would shake up the world in the 40s with her voice. Her career, which lasted until her death in 63′, produced many hits, including her most well known “La Vie en Rose.”

For this edition of BBR, I’ve chosen my new Edith Piaf record,

0 Music of the Femme – Bessie Smith

Today, to show appreciation for the divine feminine, we feature a artist from Tennessee, known as the “Empress of the Blues”. Her name is Bessie Smith, and this world lost her a little too soon. May she inspire and uplift you with her sweet, yet gritty vocals.

Tonight we take stage at Exit/ In in Nashville, TN with Kim Logan and Randy Reed. Doors at 8pm, Show at 9. So excited to grace this amazing city with our dirty brass.
