Are you familiar with UncleRaveDave?

Also, what do you think of January’s music mix – pleased to hear your feedback, what you liked what and what you didn’t like so much.

I wont reveal all just yet as other guys may wish to guess some of the tracks – but I will put you out of your misery and say that track 8 is by UKZ with a song called TU-95.

It has made me listen to the mix more than I would normally as I am attempting to discover who the artists actually are. I have some idea on a few of the tracks but need some assistance on the others:

Track 1 – Not sure but I feel it could be The Black Crowes as I hear they have a new album out
Track 2 – Another slice of Americana but no idea on this track – sounds like The Spin Doctors or Wico. Very good song.
Track 8 – Has kept me awake at night. It is of course a great track and I can almost see this being performed. I do believe I have seen this band (if it is a band – live) but I cannot for the life of me remember when or where or who. I believe it’s an old progressive rock artist who has gone solo or formed a new band as I hear influences from Crimson, Curved Air and Zappa. Please put me out of misery.
Track 9 – I’m not a big fan of the blues but this is a good track but could be anyone as there is no vocal. I’ll guess at Derek Trucks
Track 11 – Remember that Beatles classic “I’ll get by with a little help from my friends”, well a friend of mine helped me on this track and I do believe it’s “To Ohio” by The Low Anthem. A very good song and I have since explored the album and while the rest of the album is not up to the standard of this lead track I did enjoy it.
Track 12 – Another great song but I no idea it actually reminds me of Tony Hadley so it could a track from one of his solo albums

But you are right with the other two – well done

Mr LD can I pick a 3-in a row as well pls

Nice idea of mixing unknown tracks together. I have only listened to it a few times but I believe its a good mix even better for being only 12 tracks long.

I do believe I know a few of the tracks:
Track 5 – The Frames again can’t place the song
Track 7 – Jack Bruce and Robin Trower with the title track of their album Seven Moons (great album)
Track 10 – Nanci Griffith with a song called Still Life from her latest album The Loving Kind which see her back to her best.

I do believe that Spacepig is right when he suggests that listening to unknown songs keeps your mind open and you appreciate the music more.
