Cool, amazing music have I heard

Once upon a time, Mark Pickerel was the drummer for the Screaming Trees. He bailed out of the band some time circa 1990. Today, he's a solo singer-songwriter who writes and plays amazing countrified country-rock. He just released his solo debut, Snake on the Radio, on Bloodshot Records, the best record label most people haven't heard of.

Mr. Pickerel's homepage is here, and his MySpace page is here.

Holly Ramos is a singer/songwriter who opened for Jesse Malin last night at the Mercury Lounge. I have to say, I liked Ms. Ramos and her solo-acoustic-guitar spot more than Mr. Malin's epic-rock set. The fact that she's got one lovely singing voice has a lot to do with it. Her album, Racehorse, is not out yet, alas. She does have a Web site, however. It has all the details on her music and forthcoming live dates. Like Mr. Pickerel, Ms. Ramos has a MySpace page.

Two great performers who make great music. Just doing my part to get the word out 'bout them.
