The Doobie Brothers released new single "Angels & Mercy" as an Instant Grat track off their upcoming new studio album WALK THIS ROAD. "Angels & Mercy" is the 5th focus track off the highly anticipated studio album and was written by Pat Simmons and producer John Shanks. The track features Simmons, Michael McDonald and John Cowan on vocals.
Themes of healing extend through many songs on the new album. Just as often, Walk This Road cuts loose and lets the guys rip. Simmons' "Angels & Mercy," an urgent-sounding, restless rocker features an exchange of fiery instrumental licks and the Doobies' signature layered harmonies. "It's fast and loud, maybe the most rocking thing on the album," Simmons says. "It's an intense song that was a lot of fun to record as well as just coming up with the parts. It's something that we can play live and have fun with it." Simmons wrote the song about a desperate man at the end of his rope, looking for redemption. Listeners hear the struggle the man faces, and the promise of deliverance waiting for him if he were to reach out and grab it. (continue)

Krooked Tongue recently released their new single "Marigold', a little bit of a change in musical direction for the band, and to celebrate we asked Oli to tell us about the track. Here is the story:
You could say the idea for 'Marigold' was spawned out of purity. Written the old fashioned way, on the acoustic. Among a plethora of dodgy voice notes laid the foundations of a special tune. I often find late nights to be fruitful when writing songs. Knowing or thinking that everyone else in the world is fast asleep while you're wide awake, creating, is an exciting feeling. (continue)
