The Congressional Impressionist

Fridays are the best days for The Rolling Stones.

“Trumpet Duel” - some kind of musical sketch-ish thing from Johnny Cash’s experimental and completely badass 1960’s variety show - on freaking network television!

“Come Hell or High Water” - Molly Hatchet

100% real deal southern rock, from its true home…redneck-ass, Florida.

Catch them this weekend at the “Yam and Ham” festival in downtown Smithfield, NC.

Pre-cell phone camera video from my very first Widespread Panic show, 10 years ago today in Raleigh on my 19th birthday.

Dishwalla - Counting Blue Cars (1995)

If you don’t recognize the title, you’ll remember this song as soon as you click “play.” Unless you never listened to the radio from 1995-1996.

I’ve often thought about starting a Tumblr devoted to my non-ironic love of mid-90’s music, but I assume there are already hundreds.

But yeah…it’s not just nostalgia. This stuff was really good, and it holds up.

Lawyers Gun and Money>Action Man - Widespread Panic

Send lawyers, guns and money…the shit has hit the fan!

This is the most absurd “mid-song special guest walk on” video I’ve ever seen. It almost feels like a “What’s Up With That”-esque SNL sketch, but this is 100% real. When they actually introduced Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughn at the same time I thought this had to be a joke, but it’s not.

ZZ Top - Jesus Just Left Chicago

We all need more ZZ Top in our lives. All of us.

I like my Beatles psychedelic.

Widespread Panic/Jay-Z mash-up

Probably the only time a rap/hip hop artist will be featured on this blog in any way, shape or form…but this works for some reason.
