E-6 got me on the James Carr train recently, and I'm paying it forward. Here's a song that was already pretty old when this oldish recording was made.

RIP Mr. Womack. I distinctly remember the first time I heard this song as I was in a movie theater watching Jackie Brown.
Here are the recent winners of Vita.mn's Are You Local? 2014 showcase (prize: A slot down at SXSW). Take the chance to see these kids as they play all over the Twin Cities while you can.

Some great jazz crossover albums were released in 2013, but none hit me harder than Gregory Porter's Liquid Spirit. I just got tickets to see Porter in Chicago next month, where he's opening for Jack DeJohnette, Joe Lovano, Esperanza Spaulding, & Leo Genovese. I think the last time I was this excited to see someone live, it was Keith Jarrett.
