Mel Washington – Whiskey Bent
Mel Washington is an amazing blues musician. This video, from the very start, is more than enough to prove that. With a voice like that and lyrics like “Just because I’m alive doesn’t mean I’ve ever lived”, it’s easy to see why Washington …
The Barefoot Movement – No Rain (Blind Melon Cover)
One of our favorite unheralded bluegrass groups here at EarToTheGround Music is The Barefoot Movement, a 4 piece band from Tennessee and the Carolinas. The first came to our attention a year and a half ago with their debut and recently finished up …
