The Basement Tapes Playlists consist of songs I've intended to write about for a while but for whatever reason have yet to make it out of my notebook and onto the blog. So I'm packaging them up into a nice little playlist and discharging my curatorial duties in one fell swoop. Enjoy!
This Playlist is available on Spotify.
1. “Flood Song” — Quiet Hollers
2. “Anna is a Stool Pigeon” – Tom Gabel
3. “Got Your Back” — Matt The Electrician
4. “Hey, Snow White” — Destroyer. These guys really channel the Velvet Underground on this one.
5. “1922” — Phil Cook
6. “Sad Pony” — OJR
7. “Mama” — The Glorious Sons
8. “Little Too Late” — Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers
9. “Moment in the Sun” — Clem Snide
10. “Wolves” — American Aquarium
11. “Summertime Mama” — Becca Mancari. Mancari is playing these days with Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes and Jesse Lafser in a side project called Bermuda Triangle. I caught them a few weeks ago in San Francisco. Good stuff.
12. “High and Humble” — The Steepwater Band. Holy Led Zeppelin!
13. “Thieves” — Liz Cooper & The Stampede
14. ‘Broken Bones” — Kaleo
15. “Destroyer” — Dead Man Winter
16. “Sometimes I Worry” — The Delta Saints
17. “Lurker” — Steve Gunn. Buckle up. This is a long, early Pink Floyd-like trance of a tune.
18. “Great Tide” — Phil Cook. Couldn’t decide between this track and “1922,” above, so I dropped
them both in.
19. “Self Centered Blues” — Natural Child
