I've linked to all kinds of music here at TDS, from thrash metal to alternative country to punk to Broadway show tunes. But if you were to tie me down and waterboard me until I admitted which kind of music is my favorite I would blubber for awhile and then finally acknowledge that what really stirs my loins is good old fashioned 1970s-era classic rock. And that's why I really love the recent tune linked below from the outstanding Austin, Texas, band, Heartless Bastards, featuring an ass kicking guitar lick that I swear you could get out your surfboard and ride for a good four minutes or so. It makes me want to break out some bell bottoms, fire up a doobie and go for a cruise in an old Camaro with all the windows down and the 8-track player CRANKING.
Enjoy!
Say Bill, I love her too, but did you know that James McMurtry's backing band is also called the Heartless Bastards, and damn if they don't hail from Austin too.

I did know that...in fact I have seen James and the HBs several times, but they are not the same band. Weird.
DeleteBill, I see your Heartless Bastards and raise you some Alabama Shakes. : )

Ha! I already have that song on my iPod. AS sort of has that Black Keys vibe going on. :)
