This will be our last Monday Mashup this month as we will be on the east coast next weekend finalizing a major deal. We can’t wait to share the news with you. In the meantime, here are some great new singles and music videos.
NEW SINGLES
It’s been a while since we heard anything new from LA Music Critic Award winner Gabe Dixon, but with the release of his latest single, it has obviously been worth the wait. His sound is part Phil Vassar, part Billy Joel and all-in-all extraordinary. Check out “Something Good.”

She may be a blues goddess, but Gina Sicilia is also a skilled vocalist who brings life to everything she sings. Her latest is a brilliant acoustic cover of the classic Simon and Garfunkel hit, “Bridge Over Troubled Waters.” Let her sweet honey vocals pour over you and soothe your soul.

We are always happy to hear new music from our favorite rising country friends Honey County, and their latest does not disappoint. The say they “Got it From my Momma,” and we are glad they chose to share it with us. This one should be a quick ride to the top of the country charts.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, our favorite indie label is Blue Élan Records. Whether they are breaking new artists like Chelsea Williams or bringing back great ones like Fanny Walked the Earth, Kirk Pasich and company definitely have a way with recognizing and finding talent. The latest from The Vegabonds is no exception. Check out “Juke and Jive.” This one will hit you like Led Zeppelin.

Last but not least is our favorite iconic LA voice, BINX, who has provided us with a powerful song in the fight against depression with the release of her latest, “Bloom.” Listen carefully to the words of this song and remember, you are not alone.
This past week we lost an amazing voice from pop radio with the death of Poco founding member Rusty Young. We wanted to take the time to remember his legacy with this beautiful video released by his Blue Élan Records family for the hit song, “Crazy Love.”
NEW MUSIC VIDEOS
Our first video this week is from another LA Music Critic Award winner, Ted Russell Kamp. While he may primarily be known for his work with Shooter Jennings, he is a master songwriter and storyteller, and his latest says “You can go to Hell, I’m Going to Texas.” Enjoy this one.
We follow up that Americana goodness with a new bluegrass tune from Jesse Brock, courtesy of So Much Moore. Check out the harmonies on “Kiss on a Cold Cold Stone.” This one will haunt you.
Next up is a rocking tune from the incomparable X. ARI. It is an ode to her girlfriend called “She Knows It,” and we’re glad she shared it with us.
We introduced you to The Highway Women about a month ago and we are proud to now share the video of their song, “Dead Man Walking.” Enjoy this taste of the next major indie country cross-over band. We think you will want to watch this one on repeat.
Our final music video this week is from relative newcomer Chris Moreno with his beautiful tribute to “Somebody New.” Enjoy this smooth country pop tune.
