Playlists

Clinchfield Rail – Jeff Przech

21 August 2017

As a Curator here at Musicto, we not only get to chat and brainstorm with the rest of our team, whom are dotted around the globe but were lucky enough to meet and cross paths with some brilliant musicians.

This week Jeff Przech and I actually bumped into each other on Twitter and I got a chance to shoot him a few questions about his work.

16 Shells From A 30.6 – Tom Waits

15 August 2017

Calling long time Waits fans, first time callers and hitchhikers.

Apologies in advance for those of you expecting “Going Out West”….sorry but I’m a b side sort of guy!

San Berdoo Sunburn – Eagles of Death Metal

7 August 2017

So here’s another ditty from the Eagles of Death Metal.

Just what the doctor ordered to get you singing along on the road to nowhere.

A Little Cruel – Harry Manx

31 July 2017

I found myself seeking out this track yesterday with the passing of a friend. I honestly don’t know what to say or feel this week, I’m just numb…”

It’s Bad you Know – R.L. Burnside

24 July 2017

I haven’t purely been a meat eater (roots listener) for ever but in recent times I’ve been easily lead into the realm of sampling, beats and loops.

They Thought I Was Asleep – Paul Kelly

17 July 2017

So stoked to bring you another Aussie gem, back to back with last weeks “Cruel Sea”.

Paul Kelly would have to be one of the most respected Singer/Songwriters in Australia. Every couple of years he’ll pop up in an intimate Theatre or home town show, whether he’s solo or with his band you can be guaranteed the night of your life.

This Is Not The Way Home – The Cruel Sea

9 July 2017

This week I’ve pulled an oldie from the Australian archives for you. It’s a track that’s a must have item in the Burn a Million Miles travel bag and furthermore, I’m sure if you did a Google search it would also be written somewhere into a Travelers Almanac.. ‘Don’t leave home without it‘

Jericho Road – Steve Earle

3 July 2017

After a long winded following of the likes of Husker Du, Black Flag and the Underbelly Punk scene, Steve Earle was the man that introduced me to Folk, Bluegrass and all things Americana in the mid 90s…

Drive On – Wayne Hancock

26 June 2017

Firstly, trying to select A Wayne The Train track for a playlist called “Burn a Million Miles” is a damn hard thing to decide on, least of all, an Intro.

Fuersattel – Boozoo Bajou

20 June 2017

Here’s another gem from the Boozoo Guys. I can just picture myself turning some miles out in the Desert on dusk or heading for a surf at the crack of sparrows. Again and again, these guys assemble some uber cool shit.

I Hung It Up – Junior Brown

10 June 2017

If you don’t know Junior Brown, well here’s your introduction. Armed with his Git Steel Junior does it for me with his cool blend of Country / Surf Guitar .

Anywhere but Here – Grace Askew

10 June 2017

It’s not only the music and Grace’s sexy southern drawl that made me add this track but her tale of wanting to skip town.
