John Paul Keith (not to be confused with FOGTB John-Paul) is a Memphis-based musician with a new album, "Heart Shaped Shadow," that deserves your attention. Sometimes he sings straightforward self-deprecating sad country songs like this:
Other times he plays jazzier songs like this:
But my favorite songs are the ones where he lets loose with old school honkytonk flavor:
Give it a listen.
I came here to read some comments. Oh, well, I will just re-read these:

A decade later, and Marvin Lewis is still employed.
ReplyDeleteA-ma-zing.
Regular season: 127–113–3 (.529)
ReplyDeletePostseason: 0–7 (.000)
Also a-ma-zing: the Bills have amassed fewer points and yards through five games than the R**skins have through three games.
ReplyDeleteThis guy's aight Z. I mean, he's no Furry Lewis, Phineas Newborn, or Shankles Floyd, but pretty good.
ReplyDeleteMemphis has surely produced and/or nurtured as much prodigous musical talent, if not more than, any other American city.
It’s no Teaneck, NJ.
ReplyDeleteDon't sleep on the Isley Brothers and T-Neck records. Or Das Efx. Or Jodeci.
ReplyDeleteNot sleepin' on any of those cats (I really dig The Isley Bros), but my Memphis list could go on for days. I just picked those three because of their cool names and divergent genres. Shankles Floyd was better known as Harmonica Frank, but still a fairly obscure figure.
ReplyDeleteRootsy is hating on Jersey.
ReplyDeleteCankles Wilson is no Shankles Floyd, but she was the heart and soul of Wilson Phillips.
ReplyDeleteOld 97's, Richmond, 12/6
ReplyDeleteBook it
I'd never hate on Jersey. As you may or may not know, the NJ township of Teaneck is considered hallowed ground in the development of American music!
ReplyDeleteBiggie lived over at Glenpointe. Just sayin.
ReplyDeleteVery shrewd of the NFL to schedule the Washington football club to play on Columbus Day, the one day a year that people of Native American dissent universally protest the usage of the traditional symbols of indigenous peoples for costume or other thoughtless display. Well played.
ReplyDeletepure class, that organization.
ReplyDeleteA few times a year (3 times for me since July) without fail I have random run-ins with old friends in airports, hotels, airport hotels, baseball stadiums, golf courses, golf tournaments. Today was one such day, and I only bring it to your attention b/c many know the man - McGoo, Erin - lobby of a hotel in Scottsdale, AZ. My wife thinks it's strange it happens so often. But is it really? I think if we all kept our eyes open and expected it, it would happen a lot more.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the big win this wkd Mark. I fear ND's time is about to run out...sadly.
Was it the Phoenician?
ReplyDeleteI spend most of my time trying to avoid interactions w/ folks I see. It’s probably mutual. In fact, it’s definitely mutual.
Westin Kierland
ReplyDeleteI had one of those moments last night at the Wu Tang show. I kinda hate most people but those unexpected and rare interactions are nice.
ReplyDeleteStrong week for the NFC East
ReplyDeleteI just read an email containing a sentence that included "low hanging fruit" AND "elephant in the room." It also included "and/or" for bonus points. I feel like I won workspeak bingo.
ReplyDeleteNot bad. For the record, if there’s an elephant in the room, the last thing you want is low-hanging fruit.
ReplyDeleteAngel Hernandez, long known as the worst ump in the game, had three calls at first overturned last night. He’s calling balls and strikes tonight. I’m sure that won’t be an issue.
