1. Track: Blondie and Dagwood

Artist: Adam Carroll

Album: Lookin’ Out The Screen Door (2000)

Submitted by: toomuchcountry

Comments: This one is for all you June brides and grooms who want your new marriages to last. My suggestion is to put down that copy of 50 Shades of Gray and listen closely to Carroll’s lyrics of romance based on the couple from a comic strip legend.

2. Title: Clever & Quickness

Artist: River City Extension

Album: Nautical Sabbatical (2009)

Submitted By: @popa2unes

Comments: Formed in Asbury Park NJ in 2007. The band played an explosive showcase at last year’s SXSW; Newport Folk Festival producer Jay Sweet stumbled upon the gig, and later told Billboard, “This band, River City Extension, is ripping the paint off the wall.

5. Title: PT Cruiser

Artist: O. Children

Album: Apnea (2012)

Submitted By: tincanman2010

Comments: Sunshine. Music. Cruising. I said cruisING not cruisER. Oh well, rockin’ driving song so I’ll keep it.

6. Title: Head Above Water

Artist: Ryan Montbleau

Album: For Higher (2012)

Submitted By: Mando Lines

Comments: Ryan Montbleau’s new album was recorded in New Orleans with George Porter, Jr., Ivan Neville, Simon Lott and Anders Osborne. Ben Ellman (Galactic) produced. The majority of the songs (including this one) are Montbleau originals, but the record also has covers of Curtis Mayfield, Bill Withers and Muscle Shoals great Eddie Hinton. Great record.

7. Title: I Just Want You To Go Away

Artist: The Lovely Bad Things

Album: New Ghost/Old Waves (2012)

Submitted By: annieTUFF

Comments: I just heard of this band a couple of months ago, so I’m still trying them on for size. But sometimes the best love song is an anti-love song.

8. Title: Yesterday (Circa Summer 80 Something)

Artist: Cory Branan

Album : 2012

Submitted By: TheOtherBrit

Comments: Cory finally got this album out and this ode to John Cougar is the perfect way to kick off summer.

9. Title: Chain Chain Chain

Artist: Red Red Meat

Album: Bunny Gets Paid (1995)

Submitted By: Ryan (Verbow @ Altcountrytab.ca)

Comments: I’m constantly surprised at the numbers of bands I missed out on in the 90′s. Red Red Meat were straight outta Chicago, even touring with Smashing Pumpkins – yet I’m only just now finding out about them thanks to Tim Rutili’s current band (Califone). This is off of their recently reissued Sub Pop masterpiece Bunny Gets Paid – damn fine song if you ask me. Crank it.

10. Title: The Messenger

Artist: Ray Wylie Hubbard

Album: Crusades of the Restless Knights (1999)

Submitted By: Rockstar Aimz

Comments: Killer song by RWH. This version features Patty Griffin on background vocals.

11. Title: Ready For The Axe To Drop

Artist: TV Smith

Album: Useless – The Very Best of TV Smith

Submitted By: Simon

Comments: The only redeeming feature of this weeks Jubilee celebrations for me has been the various media articles and TV programming on the BBC revisiting punk, not that it ever really went away – which brings me to this months song choice from a guy who’s continued to record solo and in various collaborations after the punk band he fronted split in 1979, prompted by one of the aforementioned BBC Rock-docs here’s a track from the The Adverts front man TV Smith http://www.tvsmith.com/

12. Title: Alone In Memphis

Artist: Austin Lucas w/Glossary

Album: none

Submitted By: Bryan Childs (ninebullets.net)

Comments: This, I assume, will be on Austin’s next album.

13. Title: Everything You Took

Artist: Lee Bains III & The Glory Fires

Album: There is a Bomb in Gilead (2012)

Submitted By: @philnorman

14. Title: Come Unto Me

15. Title: Sippin’ Sorrow

Artist: Pearl Woods

Album: Eeny Meeny Moe!

Submitted By: BoogieStudio22

Comments: An old R&B tune, from a ripped LP that I recently acquired (quality’s not great). Just plain fun!

16. Title: Bring Flowers To My Grave

Artist: Jake Klar

Album: Jake Klar (2012)

Submitted By: Slowcoustic

Comments: Some great twangy singer songwriter “alt-country” from this new-to-me artist. The 7 track album is even a free download on his bandcamp page: http://jakeklar.bandcamp.com/ Highly Recommended.

Artist: Michael Dean Damron

Album: Nah Death, Im’a Comin’ For You (2012)

21. Title: Sweetness

Artist: Micah P Hinson

Album: … And The Pioneer Saboteurs (2010)

Submitted by: Lord Summerisle

Comments: I am baffled as to why this man is not huge. Probably my favourite artist of the last 10 years in terms of consistency. Every album is great.

22. Title: The Devil Ain’t Lazy

Artist: Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys

Album: single (1948)

Submitted By: April @ Now This Sound Is Brave

Comments: I get a kick out of the fact that this song is essentially praising Satan’s work ethic. And, of course, since it’s Bob Wills, it swings. The mellow-voiced Tommy Duncan provides the vocals.
