Oh Well – Fleetwood Mac Before Stevie Nicks, there was Peter Green. The original Fleetwood Mac was incredibly different from what they would evolve into, and I don’t think there is any point in debating which is better, because both iterations made great music, but both with such different sounds it really comes down to… Read more

Fallin’ to Pieces – Rob Thomas Rob Thomas and his album …Something to Be have such a nostalgic feel for me; I don’t know if one of my parents had this on CD or if these songs just got that much airplay on the radio during the early 2000s, but these songs immediately take me… Read more

Here Comes the Hotstepper – Dr. Dog Dr. Dog‘s cover of the iconic 90’s dancehall hit “Here Comes the Hotstepper” was quite the surprise when I first heard it this week on the way back home. Laid-back and fun, this is one of the more effortlessly cool songs of all time, with this less polished… Read more

Hey Joe (Live) – Roy Buchanan One of my favorite covers of one of my favorite songs by the southern bluesman Roy Buchanan, often overlooked and underappreciated. Often labeled as “the greatest unknown guitar player,” I highly recommend his 1976 set from Austin City Limits. Roy’s live rendition of Hendrix‘s ‘Hey Joe‘ is a masterpiece,… Read more

Black Hole Sun (Cover) – Peter Frampton An incredible cover of Soundgarden‘s “Black Hole Sun” by Peter Frampton; I love his take, swapping vocals for guitar and adding a “vocal solo” with his signature talk box. Absolutely killer performance by a very underappreciated (at least lately) guitar player. Link – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU8yuWddw0E Read more

On the Hunt – Lynyrd Skynyrd Often overlooked by their more well-known songs,“On the Hunt” by Skynyrd has one of the tastiest guitar licks of the southern legend’s catalog. The crunch is perfect and it’s just one of those ones that makes you feel like a badass when you’re listening to it. The opening 30… Read more

Fadeaway- BoDeans I think my dad introduced me to the BoDeans when I was in high school, with this song, “Fadeaway,” as well as their biggest hit, “Closer To Free.” I don’t know a ton about the BoDeans themselves, but they’re from Wisconsin and randomly made an appearance on the Netflix show, The Ranch, which… Read more
