Loretta – Steve Earle
Steve Earle has made it clear over the years what a huge influence Townes Van Zandt has been in him. He even named one of his kids after him. Last year Earle released an entire album of Van Zandt cover songs. It is a great way to get familiar with Van Zandt’s catalog. Earle puts his spin on the songs while staying true to the originals.

The Sweetest Thing – JJ Grey & Mofro
You always know a Mofro song the minute you hear it and it is almost a sound you love hearing. This is the forst song I have heard off of the new album “Georgia Warhorse” and it makes me real optimistic about the rest of the album. It as soulful as anything that ever came out of the Memphis Stax studio and the addition of Toots Hibbert takes the song to another level.
