Daniel Ray – Blue In The Face – Alkaline Trio cover

This is another song where I have to admit I don’t know the original. I love that this is done as an acoustic jam. This guy has an amazing voice, reminds me a bit of Billy Joe Armstrong (Green Day). read more

Adam Jensen – Numb

I like the nice dark undertones in the song. But that voice is absolutely killing me. I mean the things I wanna do to that voice are probably not legal in certain states. It’s rich, full and really read more

Phantom Trap – Psycho Killer (Cover)

Man I’ve always loved the original version. That bad ass bass line that is so clear and present always puts a smile on my face. I gotta give these guys their due, Talking Heads aren’t easy to cover read more

Far Away Stables – A Beggar’s Plea

Such a sweet guitar intro, almost bluegrass with the style. The vocalist is going to blow you away. I’ve heard some amazing songbirds in my time but few have the power he does. Even when he’s read more
