It looks like this may have been recorded with a cellphone, but the person who shot it was right up front and even the sound quality is good.
Don’t pass it by.

“Daddy Was a Badass” is pretty dang badass.

Speaking of badass, Majelen, posted by goose, is a badass guitar player.

Nice cover of a great song. I've been meaning to learn how to pick it. Strumming it is pretty easy, but the picking is a bit more complicated.

I am seriously bummed tonight. I had the chance to see the Hillbilly Thomists, but broke a tooth and spent the afternoon in the dentist's chair instead.

The Hillbilly Thomists don't tour a lot because their "day jobs" as Dominican priests keeps them pretty busy.

Tonight was the second time they've performed in Chicago. I hope they come back next year so I can see them, broken tooth or not.

This going back a few decades...Bam Bam from the early 80s.

This local band is often referred as one of the foundation blocks of the grunge movement in rock. The lead singer Tina Bell was herself often called the "Godmother of Grunge". Not exactly what most might've expected from the early years given how the movement's dynamic had evolved into by the end of the 1980s and into the 90s.

Like fellow grunge-era lead singers Layne Staley of Alice in Chains and Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone, Bell had her own share of substance abuse demons and she too passed away in her early 50s from them, though by then far removed from her early years in the Seattle music scene.

I had to search a bit to find any digital media with them. The quality's far removed from the standards of today, but video tape recoding was the best (and cheapest) that was around back then. Somewhere around this house of ours there's still a mixtape or two with some of their early material. Only Heaven knows where it is though...

Thanks for this. New to me and she is amazing.

Roots rock: early Steve Earle and Black Keys, JD McPherson, Marshall Crenshaw, Tony Joe White for the greasy side…and artists like Patrick Sweany. Explains I suppose, why there’s very little studio magic, multi-track, orchestral, rock that I was ever drawn to.

she got a lot of airplay on a local independent station here last year,

fantastic voice

He was pleasantly surprised that many of the young kids his daughter age were into this artist. Only proves if you hold on to something long enough it will come back into style.
