Brandi and Delta

Jam sessions like this one are why I love Brandi Carlile.

And Delta Rae is another fun rootsy group. "Carry the Fire" is their new release, and they come to Ram's Head on September 5.

New Music Tuesday

Lots of really good stuff out today. First, go ahead and download Brandi Carlile's newest, Bear Creek.

Next, queue up at least three albums on spotify: The Temper Trap's "The Way We Move" (Need Your Love is great); then Scissor Sisters' Magic Hour and then Langhorne Slim's "The Way We Move." And that is at least a half day of great music.

Um, and must go concert? Rock & Roll Hotel has Langhorne Slim and Ha Ha Tonka on June 13. Run, don't walk, to buy tickets.

New Tunes Tuesday

First, I love Brandi Carlile and am very excited about her new album that will be out in June. The first single "That Wasn't Me" just dropped and it's worth checking out. Very worth it.  She can also be found on the new Amy Ray album.

Of Monsters and Men just released their album today and I got it for $6.99 on Amazon today. They just played at the Black Cat for a sold-out concert.

Also, I checked out the Lumineers a couple of weeks ago, and they have a free single now on itunes. They'll be in Vienna on 4/22.

Finally, look for a review of the Of Montreal/Lonely, Dear show that we're going to tonight at the 9:30 Club.
