The playlist for Week 26 of NEXT which can be streamed at 107.1 the Peak.

The Essex Green – Don’t Know Why (You Stay) (Cannibal Sea)
third full-length release from The Essex Green, who, though based in Brooklyn, have roots in Vermont and Ohio. This will cd will make my end of the year list.

Bonnie Raitt w Ben Harper – Well, Well, Well (Bonnie Raitt and Friends Live)
She has seen trends come and go over the course of her career, but her blues-based songs have given her the staying power that landed her in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000.

The Twilight Singers – Live With Me (A Stitch in Time EP)
Yes I know it’s a cover but what a song. Mark Lanegan lends his vox on this Massive Attack tune. Also on this ep Joseph Arthur co writes and sings a tune too. You can only get this EP at iTunes and you must get it. Must.

Oh No! Oh My! – Skip the Foreplay (Oh No! Oh My!)
3 friends from Austin yes that’s a surprise a band from Austin TX but they call Nashville home now. They were originally called The Jolly Rogers but they noticed a few more bands around with that name…so they changed their moniker to a name that I am sure no other band wants. Great blend of acoustic guitars and keyboards.

The Joggers – Long Distance Runaround (Cover of Yes)
A portland Or band that formed in 2001. They have two cds out now and are currently working on their third cd. This cover can be found at their myspace page.

Tom Waits – Bottom Of The World (Orphans: Brawlers)
November 21st release date for the new 3 disk rarities collection . The set collects 54 songs, including 30 new recordings, totalling over three hours of never-before heard music from the artist. 94 page booklet too. Now you know what to get me for Thanksgiving.

The Black Crowes – P 25 Longodn (The Lost Crowes)
The “Tall” recordings from 1994 can be seen as a warm-up for their third album, “Amorica.” Recorded in California, its 16 songs clock in at nearly 73 minutes, and even with the occasional clunker, the Crowes take flight, grinding out brawny, uncompromising rock with occasional psychedelic influences. Three years later the band convened in Atlanta and recorded "Band" in three days, ripping through a menu of hardy, Stonesy roots-rock with country flourishes that ranks with the group's best work.

Brightblack Morning Light – Black Feather Wishes Rise (Brightblack Morning Light)
Get your patchouli oil and incense out. Freak folkers of the highest order. From Birmingham now a Bay Area Band. Perfect soundtrack for Sex or getting stoned. So I’ve heard.

Ani DiFranco – Half A$$ed (Reprieve)
Sixteen years, 18 studio albums and all she has to show for it is — a completely indestructible career. 'Reprieve,' the new one on her Righteous Babe label. She is what record labels used to be. audience-building over the long haul, a steady stream of albums aimed squarely at that audience but always welcoming to new listeners.

Phoenix – consolation Prizes (It’s Never Been Like That)
Phoenix are a French electronic rock band who perform songs in the English language. This is their third cd and they have also released a live album too.

Legion of Doom - Crazy, As She Goes (Raconteurs vs Gnarls Barkley- A mashup)
Thought I’d throw something new at you to see if it would stick. What’d ya think?

And a bonus 27 minute live concert by The Receiver. That's 90 minutes this week of NEXT music.

Since you made it this far...Colbert on "Risky Business"
