Song of the Day: Tal Farlow – Gibson Boy Tal Farlow the legendary, yet reluctant Jazz Guitar Hero’s 1955 Gibson Boy is one of the swinging-est guitar instrumentals of all time thanks to his amazing speed and effortless fluidity. Enjoy.
Song of the Day: The Nice – The Cry of Eugene The Nice‘s underrated 1967 debut album, The Thoughts of Emerlist Davjack, was their only album as a quartet and their most overtly Psychedelic.

Song of Day: Ozark Mountain Daredevils – Black Sky The Real OMD is not some wimpy Synth-Pop band but, these lovable dirt hippies from back home! Black Sky is one of our favorite Ozark Mountain Daredevils songs, even if we can’t quite suss the meaning from the evocative puzzle lyrics. It’s from their classic, eponymous 1973 …
