Welcome to a shiny, new edition of The Muse Mix, a weekly newsletter that shares some of the amazing music people are creating across the world. From the mainstream to the garage, we give a taste of some of the music that gave us inspiration, got us moving, or simply made us feel good.
Rest in peace DMX
“However the fuck you wanna feel…there should be a song that helps you feel that way”. - DMX
Nandi Bushell - “Where Is My Mind” cover
If you haven’t heard of Nandi…she had an epic drum battle with Dave Grohl…and by his own admission…” she’s kicking my ass”. She continues to showcase her incredible multi-instrument musical talent with the use of a Boss loop machine.
Justin Johnson - “Mule Kickin’ Blues”
Everything you need to know about this is how Justin describes it, “I was in the mood for some greasy, foot stompin', slide guitar, fingerpicking, blues”. This is the stuff that makes you close your eyes, scrunch your face, and say “uhhhh” (to quote Master P). You can get more of the goodness at his site at https://www.justinjohnsonlive.com/.
Eric Church - “Hell of a View”
It is an understatement for us to say we are fans of Eric Church. There is a truth and grit to his songwriting and singing…and it comes out in one of his latest releases.
Jay Howie - “All Along The Watchtower”
Jay Howie has an entire series where he pays homage to some of the greatest songs ever written. It’s different but it is so good and he has incredible conviction in his playing and singing.
