This week:
PIERRE LACOCQUE of Mississippi Heat
and
CARRIE RODRIGUEZ

THE COUCH

Photobucket

Mississippi Heat emerged in 1991 on a night at the Cafe Lura in Chicago. Since then the band has built an incredible following. Veterans of the Ecaussinnes Spring Blues Festival, Chicago Blues Festival, Lucerne Blues Festival and more, this band reaches down and grabs you by the gut and does not let go.

The just released Let's Live It Up! (April 20) is the bands 9th album. 14 songs guaranteed to make you want to get up and boogie. We will speak with Pierre Lacocque, harpest and leader of the band about the new CD and recording with legends Carl Weathersby (Albert King) and John Primer (Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters). There is some rich history to this band and we will discuss it with Mr. Lacocque.

If Chicago-style blues makes you smile, don't miss this one.

Then we get to speak with Ms. Carrie Rodriguez about her brand new release Love & Circumstance (April 13th), a covers album that includes a song written by her father, and once performed by her great aunt.

From her start as a teenager and a violin, Ms. Rodriguez is now touring the world with the likes of Chip Taylor (famed songwriter of "Wild Thing) and Lucinda Williams.

Eight albums in eight years has brought Ms. Rodriguz to this album written by the likes of Hank Williams, Townes Van Zandt and Ry Cooder, to name a few. She puts her stamp on every choice.

How did she choose the songs for this CD and her recent tour with Los Lonely Boys & Alejandro Escovedo will be two subjects we discuss.

We will take your calls and questions for both guests at 1.347.633.9400.

1 Birthday, 1 Anniversary, 4 Teams, 5 Songs...

Sparks Of Insanity By Vinny "Bond" Marini Friday, April 02, 2010 15 Of Your Sparks



HAPPY 23rd Birthday Matt.

Yup...23 years ago tomorrow my whole world changed forever.
And I would not change that fact for anything!
He is doing the 6-year college merry-go-round
First a teacher, then a psychologist and finally law enforcement
But he has gotten his act together acing all his classes this semester.
If you never read my 20th Birthday tribute to my son, find it HERE




CONGRATULATIONS to
Brother Rich & SIL Cindy
on their 27 Anniversary on this day!

GO TIGERS!




I said yesterday I was going to concentrate more on MUSIC here on The Couch...and that means joining in on my friend TRAVIS' meme called FIVE ON FRIDAY.

Now here are the guidelines (Travis does not do rules) for Five On Friday:

1. Grab the banner, make your post title Five on Friday, and be sure to link back here.
2. Go to Playlist.com to make your play list of five songs. Choose a particular theme to share with us. You can simply post the play list, or you can add a little summary about what you are sharing.
3. I don't know how to make a specific linky, so be sure to leave me a comment to let me know that you participated.
4. No tags, but feel free to invite your friends to play along if they need a post topic on a Friday.

Now, I do not use playlist.com, but I am putting 5 songs here.

These five are all artists I am have booked or am looking to book on my BlogTalk Radio Show "Music On The Couch" over the next few months.

This is a really cool way to share your music with your readers and I highly encourage you to join in on Friday's, after all...Friday means the doorway to the weekend and going back to my college days when I ran the Fraternity's sound system (shocked you are, I know), that meant Friday afternoon speakers on the balcony giving the quad MUSIC!


Joshua Stedman is booked on the show on April 19th.
This is "A Simple Love"


Nick Daugherty is still not confirmed, but we are working it out.
This is "A Thousand Times"


Kat Danser is scheduled to appear in June.
This is her song "Yesterday's Blues"


Mississippi Heat's leader Pierre Lacocque will appear on April 26.
This is their song "Hattiesburg Blues"


And finally today,
the band is Zydecosis from New Orleans. I have not booked them yet.
They take rock and roll and play it in Zydeco - very cool.
This is their take on"Fat Bottomed Girls"


HAVE A GRAND WEEKEND ALL!
