I'm not much of a cook. I'm a bit more of an eater and I really love it when I get to eat something, (that I've eaten a hundred times before), and it has a fresh, new and interesting taste. This is what Dogs and Bones does. They are seasoned musical "cooks" and know just how to serve up traditional genres with some added spice to take the music to new places. They take some good old-fashioned classic rock and throw in some blues, rockabilly, motown and psychedelic influence and create something truly timeless...and delicious. [...]

This year, not only do I load your player with ten KILLER blues tunes [...]

Guest post: Treadmarkz is my brother-in-law, a Human Beatles Encyclopedia and the author of the weblog Treadmarkz.wordpress.com . Some Country music purists would probably say that anything that warrants the name "Alternative Country" is not really Country. But ultimately it is the domain of the fan to judge what an artist is or is not, to them. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Jennifer Dixon . A little country sensibility with a style that hovers along the cusp of blues, pop, jazz owing to a [...]
