This add to the Big Med Playlist for The Big One is dedicated to Elwood – half of the Yid & The Kid crew who ran the streets of Montreal in the bad old days of EMS. Elwood will, no doubt, enjoy listening to a NYC band who call themselves Oy Vey blasting out...
I don’t know if it’s the combination of all these big guys clustered together in a tiny radio studio sounding like a 70s country-rock band hooking up with Blue Rodeo or if it’s because some of the other tunes remind me of the blue-collar grit of bands like The Tragically Hip but The Steel...
Garrett Morgan says his song ‘Standing On A Bridge’ is about coming to a point in life where you need to make a serious decision. We’ve all been there and yet only a few have expressed that turning point so beautifully as Garrett Morgan does in this track. The melodies, vocals and emotions provide...
A double shot of sweet folk music to start a marathon day of adds to the Big Med Playlist for The Big One. This is Nashville TN-native Tim Pepper with ‘The Killing Kind’ and ‘Are You Coming Home.’ I like both of these songs for their stripped-bare emotion and the beautiful simplicity in their...
Another country/folk gem to add to the Big Med Playlist for The Big One from Camryn Wessner with her song ‘Polaroid.’ Drawing deep on musical inspirations, Wessner sounds like the kid sister of Jewel and Sheryl Crow on this track and others on her recently released EP ‘Temporary.’ From Dothan AL, 20-year-old Camryn Wessner...
Another great country music add to the Big Med Playlist for The Big One from Danika Holmes with ‘Lock Me In Tonight.’ The lyrics are fun, the hooks are plentiful, and the vocals are crystal clear and powerful. You gotta love this woman’s sense of style – the video is excellent, too. Nice song....
This is Brother Magnum and the Razor Bumps with ‘All The Time’ on the Big Med Playlist for The Big One. This is sweet and genuine soul music coming to you from Austin TX. Brother Magnum’s smooth and silky vocals are front-and-center on this piece which is kinda unusual for a man better known...
These adds to the Big Med Playlist for The Big One are country-pop tracks with lots of dance-a-hill-bill-ity built into the mix. Blended328′s ‘Get UR Flirt On’ & ‘Good Ol’ Country People’ sound like they were designed to reach across a demographic that includes pickup truck tailgate parties and college parties to backyard BBQs....
A great reggae groove in this add to the Big Med Playlist for The Big One. Orange Grove call The Netherlands home but these guys clearly have Jamaican blood flowing through their veins. This is a sweet song that’s got a beat guaranteed to bring even the non-dancers in the crowd to their feet....
In this add to the Big Med Playlist for The Big One, Vancouver BC native Lindsay May makes a very good case for spending more than just a long weekend visiting Nashville. Wow. This is a slow country-does-the-blues piece that feels a lot like Bonnie Raitt or Patti Griffin. It’s a beautifully crafted song...
