Congratulations are in order, as Music Fog videos just hit the three million view mark on our YouTube Channel! Thank you, thank you. Of course that number only reflects the videos we have produced ourselves. We put a couple of "outside" videos up every week, and honor people we haven't yet had the pleasure of filming. Enough patting ourselves on the back, or shameless self-pimping, as we like to call it.
Now it's time to pimp someone else. That would be the Drive-By Truckers. Their new CD Go-Go Boots is being hailed as a career achievement. And that is saying something. The Truckers have followed their own muse, carving out a space they call Country Soul, it is a flavor that we spend a good deal of time talking about here at Music Fog. They are hitting it hard, touring the country as they are wont to do. Also they have been busy producing webisodes, The Go-Go Boots Episodes, click the link to see all eight of them.
The immersion for the audience at a show is total. It is the music fog, from whence we get our name. It consumes the senses. You will be rocked. Patterson Hood says about this new CD, that DBT embrace their Muscle Shoals hometown on it, and that it is their 'noir' offering. Read the rest of his comments here.
Today's song is "Mercy Buckets," which is the bastardization play on words for merci beaucoup, French for 'thanks alot.' The version we bring you was recorded in Atlanta...a delicious love song for a slow Sunday.
