Nine Days is a rock band from Long Island, New York, formed in 1994. The band's influences were Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young. During their career they released 8 studio albums with the most recent happening in 2016. This song comes from their 2nd album called Monday Songs, released in 1996. This was recorded & released before the band got a contract with a major record label. They had a #6 hit single with a song called Absolutely (Story Of A Girl) in 2000, but that came after they had signed their recording contract. That was also their only hit single, putting them squarely into the 1 Hit Wonder category. Something nice & melodic to ease your way into a new day.

Quarterflash is an American rock group formed in 1980 in Portland, Oregond by merging two popular Oregon bands, Seafood Mama and Pilot. Orinda Sue "Rindy" Ross (lead vocals and saxophone) and her husband Marv Ross (guitars), were the leaders of the group. In a 1982 interview, Rindy Ross said that she viewed the saxophone as an extension of her voice, enabling her to express things she could not with her voice alone. During their career the band has released 7 studio albums with the most recent one coming in 2020. But they had no new music at all between 1991 & 2008. This song comes from their 1st album, called Quarterflash, released in 1981. The album contained their biggest hit single, Harden My Heart which reached #3 on the Hot 100. The album went to #8, & was their biggest album. Williams Avenue is a north-south street located in Portland, Oregon and it defines the eastern boundary of North Portland. I always liked these folks & Rindy Ross is a pretty special talent. Williams Avenue by Quarterflash www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6ON4RgaE40

Brian Setzer grew up in Long Island, New York. In his youth, he played the euphonium and other brass instruments in school jazz bands. During the early 1980s, he led the rockabilly trio the Stray Cats and found popular and commercial success. During the 90’s he formed The Brian Setzer Orchestra (sometimes known by its initials BSO) as a swing and jump blues band . The BSO has released 9 albums in their career with the most current one happening in 2015. This song comes from the 4th album called Vavoom, released in 2000. The song itself goes back to 1940. It is a swing jazz and pop standard with music by Jerry Gray and lyrics by Carl Sigman. It was recorded by Glenn Miller and His Orchestra as a Bluebird 78 rpm single. I loved the big band/ swing/ jump blues revival of the late 90's. Good stuff. This is a band that looks to be having a great time onstage & the sax player goes off.

Sometimes trying to find info on some of these folks can be more than a little daunting, but to me, that makes them a bit more intriguing than normal. Adam East is one of those guys. Here is the only bit of biographical info I found, despite the two of them having a joint Facebook page. “Adam East is a curator of eclectic, funk-filled grooves”. And there it is, Adam East in a nutshell. Kris Deelane was a bit more in vogue. Accordingly, here is what her bio says. “Kris is making a loud noise in the Portland Rock scene. She sings, she plays guitar, she writes songs. Lots of songs. Kris has performed with or shared stages with national artists such as Brian Wilson, Joan Jett, and Peter Yarrow. She cites David Bowie, The Pretenders, Julian Cope, Nick Cave, Nina Hagen and Patti Smith as key contributors to her music, art and style. And the only record they seem to have released together was called A Stranger's Song, it came out in 2003. Rhode Island Blues by Adam East & Kris Deelane www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9aJazm7njo

Unless you liked The Bee Gees, which I did, & unless you bought all their albums, which I did not, I suspect you may have never heard this song before, which I had not. During their career they released 22 studio albums not including the soundtracks for Saturday Night Fever (1977) and Staying Alive (1983) which are not official Bee Gees albums. This song comes from their 11th album, Life In A Tin Can, released in 1973. The album was pretty much panned by the critics & suffered low sales as a result. It was the 1st time they had moved their recording operations out of London & into L.A. Some of the studio musicians on the album included Jim Keltner, Sneaky Pete Kleinow, Tommy Morgan, Jerome Richardson, Rick Grech, Jane Getz and Johnny Pate. Most songs on the album were co - writes for all three brothers, but Barry wrote this one alone. South Dakota Morning by Bee Gees www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx9Ks4P_Ocs

The Beach Boys are an American rock band that formed in Hawthorne, California, in 1961. Sixty years & still gettin it. This song comes from their 9th studio album called Summer Days & Summer Nights, released on July 5, 1965. Brian Wilson produced this album & it went to #2 on the albums chart. The album included the hit singles Help Me Rhonda & California Girls. To this day, this is still the highest charting album for the band. It was kept out of the #1 spot by Out Of Our Heads from The Rolling Stones. There seems to have always been a bit of drama in this band. This song was written by Brian Wilson & Mike Love. But Mike was not originally given writing credits for "The Girl from New York City", "Amusement Parks U.S.A.", "Salt Lake City", "Help Me, Rhonda", "California Girls", "Let Him Run Wild", and "You're So Good to Me". He had to sue to get his just dues & his royalty payments. His credits were awarded after a 1990s lawsuit. Salt Lake City by The Beach Boys www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lv89vHZwrSI

Chris Brenne was raised in Kristinehamn, Sweden. Feeling the need to expand his musical knowledge, he applied to the Berklee College of Music and made his first trip to the USA with suitcase and guitar in hand. Donald Quan was born in Toronto, Ontario, and also schooled at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. He has been a long-time band member of Canadian singer Loreena McKennitt and has assisted in the production of several studio albums and recordings including the acclaimed The Book of Secrets. He is also best known for writing the scores to television shows Relic Hunter and Mutant X. This seems to be the only collaboration between the two artists, it was released in 2011. This type of music may not be to everyone’s liking but when the album is called The Soothing Muse, I reckon that is what you get. This is nice & won’t bend your head to much.

The Wedding Present are an English indie rock group originally formed in 1985 in Leeds, England. During their career they have released 9 studio albums, with the most recent one happening in 2016, but they seemed to have been big on live albums releasing 11 of them. None of these albums have ever charted here in the states, but they all did fairly well in the UK. This song comes from their 6th studio album called Take Fountain, released in 2005. The album was recorded in the United States at Robert Lang Studios in Shoreline, Washington. This song was the 3rd single released from the album, but again, none of the songs charted here in the states. The 1st 2 singles charted in the UK, this one did not.

Colleen Anderson was born in Bay City, Michigan, but now lives in Charleston, West Virginia. She seems to be more known as an author than a singer or songwriter, but she does both. Her stories and poems have been published by the PEN Syndicated Fiction Project, Redbook, Embers, Kestrel, Arts & Letters, Antietam Review, Passager, Carolina Quarterly, The Sun, and many other periodicals. Her music has been featured on Public Radio International's Mountain Stage and The Folk Sampler. When you google her name, the 1st entry that appears is for a lady of the same name that was evidently a porn star in the late 70’s & early 80’s. This lady is not that lady. She has released 3 albums with the most recent one coming in 2020. This song comes from her 2nd album, Fabulous Realities, released in 2006.

This song comes from his 8th studio album called Another Place, Another Time, released in 1968. The song was written by Glenn Sutton & is a reference to Schlitz beer, which for many years was advertised with the slogan, "The beer that made Milwaukee famous." The single stalled out at #94 on the Billboard Pop chart but got to #2 on the Country singles chart.

Matt Bauer is a banjo player, singer & songwriter from Kentucky. Other personal info, like many others before him, seems to be a bit lacking. He has released 4 albums during his career. This song comes from his 1st album called The Island Moved In The Storm. I was looking for a way to describe this song & then I found these reviews which pretty well sums it up for me: "Matt Bauer conjures a warm yet slightly eerie mood with his banjo driven alt folk”. "The Island Moved in the Storm inhabits a strange, beautiful, spiritually satisfying world that is as far from the ordinary run of indie-folk as Kentucky is from Brooklyn. This is quite a beautiful album, subtle and precise in its description of things that are lost, forgotten and forever altering.” Haunting, eerie, moody & intriguing. I like it!

Kenny Loggins and Jim Messina were an American rock-pop duo who achieved their success in the early to mid-1970s. Jim Messina, formerly of Buffalo Springfield and Poco, was working as an independent record producer for Columbia Records in 1970 when he met Kenny Loggins, a little-known singer/songwriter and guitarist who was signed to ABC-Dunhill as a staff songwriter. All of that led to their 1st collaboration. The album was called Sittin In. It was a solo album from Kenny with Jim as the producer, & that is where the Sittin In part comes from. The album came out in 1971 & went to #70. It featured the singles Vahevela #84 & Nobody But You #86. But it also had a couple of other songs that would later become pretty big hits in their own right. The album also contained House On Pooh Corner which was originally recorded by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Kenny wrote the song when he was 17 & still in High School. Danny’s Song became a huge hit for Anne Murray, but Kenny wrote it about his brother, Danny, who had just had his 1st son. Listen To A Country Song was recorded & released as a single by Country singer Lynn Anderson who took it all the way to #4. So it turned out to be a pretty successful album that wasn't a really big hit on 1st release. Back To Georgia by Loggins & Messina www.youtube.com/watch?v=Paa9-glMwwg

REO Speedwagon is an American rock band from Champaign, Illinois formed in 1967. They named the band after the REO Speed Wagon, a 1915 truck that was designed by Ransom Eli Olds. Keyboard player Neil Doughty had seen the name written across the blackboard when he walked into his History of Transportation class on the first day the band had decided to look for a name. During their career they have released 16 studio albums & 10 live albums. They have had 34 singles with their biggest hits coming in the early to mid 80’s. Evidently rhythm guitar player Kevin Cronin wrote this in 1968 but the band didn't record it until 1996. It comes from their 14th studio album called Building The Bridge, released in 1996. It became the group's first non-charting album since 1972's R.E.O./T.W.O. Maybe it was a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth that kept the album from success. There are 3 different producers listed as well as 2 production coordinators, whatever they do. Lots of nice guitar on this one.

You may not recognize this guy’s name, but those of a certain age will certainly remember his big hit single from 1966 called “They’re Coming To Take Me Away, Ha Haaa!” which he recorded Under the pseudonym Napoleon XIV. The public found out his true identity when Cousin Brucie of WABC outed him. And if you remember that song, you pretty much know what to expect from this one. Jerrold "Jerry" Samuels is an American singer, songwriter and record producer. It appears as though the success of that big hit single gave him the opportunity to record a 2nd album. This song comes from that album called The Second Coming, released in 1966. I Owe A Lot To Iowa Pot by Jerry Samuels www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWtnUZRT7BU

This is the 2nd time I have highlighted this group, but just in case… The New Basement Tapes is a British-American musical supergroup made up of members Jim James, Elvis Costello, Marcus Mumford, Taylor Goldsmith, and Rhiannon Giddens. The group is best known for Lost on the River: The New Basement Tapes, their 2014 album which consists of tracks based on newly uncovered lyrics handwritten by Bob Dylan in 1967 during the recording of his 1975 album with The Band, The Basement Tapes. The album aims to honor the freewheeling musical spirit and collaborative creative process of the original sessions. Each of the participants had to come up with his or her own music for many of the lyrics, resulting in multiple versions of the same songs and allowing a perspective on the ways different artists respond to Dylan's lyrics In this case the song was written by Bob Dylan, Marcus Mumford & Taylor Goldsmith. If I can decipher the info correctly, that is Taylor Goldsmith on baritone guitar, Jim James on electric guitar, Marcus Mumford acoustic guitar & lead vocals, Jay Bellerose on drums , Zach Dawes on bass & good old Johnny Depp sits in on rhythm guitar.

After reading your post, I believe it was, about a Procul Harum member's passing the other day, I listened to " A Whiter Shade of Pale" (I'm old enough to remember when this was a hit.) and then went searching for Elliott Yamin's version to listen to.

I am happy to see that some of you'se guys were listening to some of this music. It gets kind of frustrating when there is no feedback, so I sort of felt like I was intruding on your silence. Just a bit of background, if you will indulge me. A year or so ago, I decided to see if I could find any music written about the states. I figured there would be some, but after doing 50 different google searches for Music about Alabama, Hawaii, Minnesota, etc. I was completely overwhelmed with the amount of music I found. What I thought would be a small sample (naive, I reckon) has turned into something that is really pretty interesting. I have been posting (over on my facebook timeline) 2 songs a day, each day with songs from a different state & after almost a year, I have still have enough music to go for another 2 - 3 years. Kind of crazy! I have run though all the stuff for multiple states & as of today with these final 2 songs from Nebraska, I will be down to 21 remaining states. California & New York will be the final 2 standing when all is said & done. The amount of music written about those 2 states goes on & on. Michigan, Illinois, & Louisiana are the next 3 with the biggest representation, because of Detroit, Chicago & New Orleans. So, having brought you up to date, today we will venture into Nebraska for the final time. Here is this mornings offering. moe. is a jam band, formed at the University at Buffalo in 1989. The band's first record, Fatboy (1992), established them as a favorite of the 1990s jam band and improvisational rock scene, which grew in popularity with the rise of bands such as Phish, Widespread Panic & The Stringcheese Incident. moe toured with the Furthur Festival in 1997, appeared at Woodstock '99, played Summerstage at the Rumsey Playfield in Central Park, opened for The Allman Brothers and The Who, performed at Radio City Music Hall on New Year's Eve 2006 and returned there for New Year's Eve 2007. During their career they have released 13 studio albums & 10 Live albums. This song comes from their 4th studio album. It was called Tin Cans and Car Tires & came out in 1998. Most of the material on the album had been included in the band's live sets for a number of years before being recorded for the album. Nebraska by moe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=soOfcwQ3J8A

It is pretty frustrating when an artist or band has a website that sells all sorts of merch, & tour tickets, but offers up no biographical information. Even Wikipedia is mum on Low Hum. And that is where we are with this band, or artist, or…. There is a band called Low Hums. They are described as a wild rock and roll band from Seattle Washington. I just don’t think these two entities are the same. This is not “wild” rock & roll. On the other hand, I just don’t see 2 separate bands existing with such similar names. The only thing I can say is that this song comes from an album called Room To Breathe. Nebraska by Low Hum www.youtube.com/watch?v=Du0NkUb1qdw

Today we take a look at 2 very successful ladies in 2 separate genres. There are some similarities today. Both songs come from extremely popular 2nd albums. Both ladies changed their names, Katy became a Perry, Faith dropped her Perry. But, they have 2 different takes on Las Vegas. Faith Hill, is a singer, record producer and actress born in Ridgeland Mississippi. Her birth name was Audrey Faith Perry. She is one of the most successful country music artists of all time, having sold more than 40 million albums worldwide. She has won five Grammy Awards, 15 Academy of Country Music Awards, six American Music Awards, and several others. Her Soul2Soul II Tour 2006 with husband Tim McGraw became the highest-grossing country tour of all time. During her career she has released seven studio albums, four compilation albums, and 46 singles. All of her studio albums have been certified Gold or higher by the Recording Industry Association of America. This song comes from her 1995 album called It Matters To Me, it was her 2nd album. The album went to #29 on the albums chart & #4 on the Country albums chart. It has been certified as selling over 4 million copies. This was the 1st single released from the album, it got to #5 on the Country chart. This song was followed up with It Matters To Me which went to #1, Someone Else’s Dream #3, You Can’t Lose Me #6, & I Can’t Do That Anymore which also hit the top 10 by landing at #8. It is a pretty rare album that gets 5 top 10 hits. Let's Go To Vegas by Faith Hill www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThT2AXM_nTw
