Radney Foster "Angel Flight"

Radney Foster Radney Foster's video for his song "Angel Flight" is nothing short of patriotic and spiritual. Dedicated to the seven men of The Red River 44 who lost their lives in Iraq, and the men who brought them home.

  "I fly that plane called the Angel Flight - Come on brother, you're with me tonight.
Between heaven and earth, you're never alone - on the Angel Flight, come on brother, I'm taking you home."
  "The cockpit's quiet and the stars are bright - Feels kinda like church in here tonight.
It don't matter where we touch down - On the Angel Flight it's a sacred ground."

The lyrics speak for themselves. As they should. No reason to say anything else. We salute all of the men and women who are far away from home in these difficult times.

Be safe.

The Band of Heathens "Let Your Heart Not Be Troubled"

,
Heathens The Band Of Heathens boys know how to work it! There is always something extracurricular going on, whether it is a download, a contest...and that is of course aside from touring and gigging, they just keep moving. And that's a real good thing as they spread the gospel message of the BOH soul stew of roots music.

Tomorrow is an especially big day as Austin City Limits debuts the set they shot with Band Of Heathens this summer. And this week's episode is coupled with a brand new set from Elvis Costello and The Sugarcanes. I got to attend both of these performances (ain't bragging, just LUCKY!) and I can't wait to see them, because they were nothing short of stellar. As they say, check your local PBS listings for Austin City Limits tomorrow, November 7th!

And back to the bus we go for the Band Of Heathens from Nashville in September.

Cracker with Patterson Hood "Friends"

,

Cracker Album Music Fog is happy to present Cracker's brand new video, which comes from their latest album Sunrise In The Land Of Milk And Honey and features Patterson Hood from the Drive-By Truckers.

By the way, Cracker will be undertaking a very special tour of Iraq next week for U.S. soldiers, and for safety reasons the promoter is unable to give specific dates/cities. Interestingly enough, the band won't even get their itineraries until arriving in Kuwait and Iraq. As co-founder David Lowery explains, "After writing a red meat politically incorrect song in the slangy dialect of US serviceman in Iraq, it's no surprise that we were asked to walk the walk in addition to talking the talk". 

So be it.  Yalla Yalla. Here is "Friends."
