Video: Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi “Rollin’ and Tumblin'” (Live at the White House)
Just when you think your week is finished and you’ve seen and heard just about everything that the internet has to offer, something new rolls your way around 5 o’clock on Friday that you simply cannot avoid. For me, that something new came in the form of a video from husband and wife Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi. The duo serves as the front for Tedeschi Trucks Band, who released their debut album Revelator last year. The video is footage from their recent performance at the White House. President Barack Obama warms up the crowd as Trucks and Tedeschi warm up on some acoustics behind the scenes. Enjoy!

Fresh Track + Video: Daniel and the Lion “Free Love”
I have previously expressed my support for artists that do not take themselves too seriously. From the “World Premiere” music video for their song “Free Love” below, we can assume that Daniel Pingrey and Jimmie Linville of Daniel and the Lion are two musicians who no one would mistake for pretentious. The duo hails from Madison, WI. They dropped “Free Love” on Tuesday. The track is a touch on the sappy side, but the vocals and production work are terrific. And I’ll be damned if the song isn’t catchy as hell. To be honest, I’ll jam out to just about anything with a foot stomp and a hand clap – I’m kidding, sort of. Classic, clean songwriting from two dudes who look like they’d be fun to hang with. Stream the single, and sharpen your culinary skills below. Download the track for free via Daniel and the Lion’s Bandcamp page.

Fresh Track + Video: Toy Soldiers “Maybe”
Yesterday, Philadelphia five-piece Toy Soldiers dropped a 3-track EP entitled Tell the Teller. The songs will likely be featured on an as yet untitled full length, due out later this year. If their brand of soulful rock is reminiscent of fellow Philly natives Dr. Dog, it is with good reason. This material was recorded under the guidance of Bill Moriarty, who has served as Dr. Dog’s longtime Producer. Listen and watch a video for “Maybe” below. Name your price for a copy of Tell the Teller via Bandcamp.
