From the heart(land) . . . . .

This week, a playlist full of the music that we always play here: raw, authentic, passionate and close to bone and down in the blood. Music close to home and close to the heart. Michigan music makers who pour it all out in that renegade, outlaw style that draws outside the lines and refuses to color with the right crayons. The Inside Outlaws; Ty Stone, Doop and the Inside Outlaws, String of Ponies and people like Rae Rae, Jeni Lee Richey and The Great Tribulation, String of Ponies, Mike Struwin and Bone Orchard Revival GiveMeMyXXX artists like Scott H. Biram, Rachel Brooke (another Michigan girl), High or Hellwater, Have Gun Will Travel Music from old masters like Willie Nelson and Jerry Lee Lewis and contributions from Ryan Adams and others. My commitment is this to you. The show stays commercial free, sponsor free and will always play true music, not commercial crap. You won't hear Top 40 hits here, you won't hear Young Country and you won't hear Classic Rock, but you will hear it the way music flows through an artist's soul, you'll hear their aural and sonic vision the way they want you hear it. If you're from Michigan, the Great Lakes somewhere, if you're an artist who doesn't fit comfortably into a category but gets thrown into Americana/Roots/Country/Rock/Blues as one big mishmash, this is your home. Remember to Share this anyway possible; FB, Twitter, Email whatever. It's not about me, it's about these artists and making sure people hear them, keep them eating and playing. You can always find me, Kip Williams on FB or on Twitter as kip_williams. It's important to remember that music didn't die with the Baby Boom, it wasn't born in the 60's and finished in the '70's. It's vital, alive and right now and real. Peace out, Kip
