Lots of good music related links from around the web this week. Today is Jerry Garcia’s birthday, which is what inspired posting the above video from the Festival Express Tour. These clips give me chills every time I watch them. What I would give to go back in time and be on that train with Levon, Jerry, & Janis.
NPR is killing it with their Newport Folk Festival Coverage. Someday I gotta get up to that festival. Here’s a link to My Morning Jacket’s full Newport performance. Brittany from the Alabama Shakes joins them on stage with a tribute to Levon around minute 47. Speaking of which, My Morning Jacket will be playing live from Salt Lake City tomorrow night as part of the Twilight Concert Series.
This past week marked what would have been legendary bluesman Junior Kimbrough’s 82 birthday. Here’s a vid of Junior shakin’ it on down in a Mississippi Juke Joint. Via Stag Blog.
Here’s a cool process video from Little White Lies magazine detailing the printing of their upcoming Lawless issue. The entire issue was hand-printed using woodcuts.
And finally, don’t click on this next link unless you have at least 30 minutes to kill. The Brown bear & salmon cam from Brooks Falls is both addicting and ingenious.
