(oops, forgot to hit publish! hehe, couple of hours late, sorry!)
Happy Monday, Stashers! Going back to work after a long weekend of presidential celebrations (or laments? Perhaps?) does kind of give one the blues … and so I have arrived to not only acknowledge those blues, but to augment, to instill — to steep you in further bluesyness with this gem from Harrison Kennedy called “High Country Blues.” It’s a classic two-and-a-half minute blues riff from start to finish, and a wonderful way to start off a week.
Harrison was originally a member of the 70s Detroit pop group The Chairmen of the Board, but left to pursue his love of blues. He is actually from Hamilton, Ontario, and his latest record, also called “High Country Blues” has been nominated for a Juno award, which is the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy, and is NOT an award given out by a precocious 16 year old pregnant girl.
… Juno reference, anyone? Anyone? Bueller? No? Okay.
Oh, before I go, a little reminder … I want your music! If you’re a 420-loving, podsafe (meaning you’ll grant us permission to use your song on the podcast) band or musician who wants your music heard on the Stash, please send your music to normlsafemusic@gmail.com. As you have already seen in Russ’s analysis post, the Stash is listened to by tens of thousands of people — PER DAY! That’s a lot of people listening to your song. Don’t hesitate!
