Out now at all the usual places. "Woke AF minus F" by Chris Reed and the Anime Raiders. Pick your streaming service.
With a bit of luck I'll be putting the finishing touches on the EP tonight. Hopefully with an August release date.
Somehow Rick Astley has cycled back to cool.
New single, "Dippin' My Feet"
Taking a break from vocal work. More than an hour of singing and I freely admit that singing is not my strongest musical skill.
Letting the vocal chords recover before tackling the next bit.
That said, I can't wait for people to hear this one. It's been a LOT of work and I'm really happy with the work. It's a better song than the little ditty I'm dropping on Monday.
And my last post of the day - A quick reminder that tomorrow we will play the album "I Want It All Right Now" by the band GROUPLOVE. That will be on July 13 at 9am and again at 9pm PST. The album is so good that I had a hard time limiting myself to only a couple of songs for the playlist. I hope you tune in!
All that's left is to finish the vocals...
And one of my neighbors has decided to run some kind of pump and yes, of course, my microphone set-up (which is studio grade) picks it up.
Vocals another night.
Really happy with the guitar solo though.
I am presently in what is likely the only place in all of North America that is cold. Everyplace else is just burning up.
Seems a good time for this:
My new single, officially out next week, has a lyric video.
Okay my friends, here it is, Radio Free California Episode 2328. An eclectic and wild week for new music featuring GROUPLOVE, The Ceys, FIFTY FIFTY, John Batiste, The Breeders, Spoon, Yi, Baroness, Chris Stamey and much more. Enjoy!
My blog version will be up later today, which will give links to other ways to hear the music.
I have a social media friend named "Yi" who performs originals but in the style of vocal jazz standards. This is her latest, and she had a video put together using AI. For once it works, and you should check it out. Great song, striking visuals and its worth your time.
And here it is, Radio Free California Episode 2327! This week we feature new music from Greta Van Fleet, Cory Wong with AOR, Barenaked Ladies, my friend kiffie, Beck with Phoenix, The Smile, The Silencers, Vintage Trouble, Mammoth WVH and much more. Enjoy!
As per usual I will posting my less than safe for work blog version later today, and all songs are beng added to the Radio Station.
Only available until the end of July.
Chris Reed and the Anime Raiders, with a starkly different version of the Nick Lowe classic, "I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass".

Yeah, I can see it now
The distant red neon shivered in the heat
I was feeling like a stranger in a strange land
You know, where people play games with the night
God, it was too hot to sleep
I followed the sound of a jukebox coming from up the levee
All of a sudden, I could hear somebody whistling from right behind me

New music this week from Dolly Parton (flexing those rock and roll muscles), Peppy Castro, Queens of the Stone Age, Steve Lukather (with some help from old Toto friends), Gov't Mule, Steve Forbert and much more. Enjoy!

I have an Australian friend named Moule who is a techno artist. WE have worked together (I played guitar on a track he released a couple years ago). This is his new single. Released too late for this week's RFC, but it will be on next week's.
