Elton John & Leon Russell - Pt. 2

A few songs from one of my favorite albums over the last year or two, The Union by Sir Elton John and Leon Russell. I posted some songs off this album about 2 years ago. For those time when one piano is just isn't enough, here are some more.

"I Should Have Sent Roses"



"In the Hands of Angels"

Johnny at the Fold

Sun Studio Tour

Sun Records Studio Tour with JM Van Eaton, the drummer on many of the hits recorded here.



I am not sure, but I think this is the "Crazy Arms" recording referred to in the video above.

The Ball Game

To celebrate the Oriole's return to post-season play, today's gospel song is "The Ball Game". Unfortunately, there is no video version of this, but here is the audio performed by Sister Wynona Carr, the writer of the song.

Angel Snow

I feel like all of my post recently have been about artist who have been around for a while. So here is someone who is new. Angel Snow released a self titled album earlier this week. Viktor Krauss produced and co-wrote most of the songs. Here are three songs that are included on the album.

"Coals and Water"



"These Days" performed with Viktor Krauss.



"Lie Awake"

Iris' Interview

A three part Interview with Iris Dement, released to coincide with the release today of her new album. Sing the Delta.

Allen Toussaint

A couple clips from a recent Allen Toussaint concert. I saw him perform last night at the Hamilton in DC. I think he wrote all of these songs.

"A Certain Girl"



"Working in the Coal Mine"



"Southern Nights"



"It's Raining"
