Legendary Northern California-based Rock 'n' Roll outfit, The Mother Hips, are celebrating their 30th anniversary this year, and in recognition of this career milestone, the band's record label Blue Rose is reissuing each of their ten studios albums on vinyl, including today's Video Of The Day, 'Back To The Grotto'. The series will work its way chronologically through The Mother Hips' discography with one LP released each month, while all proceeds from sales will benefit The Blue Rose Foundation, which provides grants for preschool scholarships to financially disadvantaged children. In only a matter of weeks since being announced, the initial pressings on the first three titles: 1992's 'Back To The Grotto', 1995's 'Part Timer Goes Full' and 1996's 'Shoot Out', have already sold out. In addition to the reissue series, The Mother Hips have commenced work on their 11th studio album, with the support of Blue Rose.

A key figure in the US ‘Murder Folk’ scene that also includes contemporaries such as The Devil Makes Three and The Dead South, the music of singer-songwriter Amigo The Devil is a unique blend of Folk that also incorporates elements of Southern Gothic, Country and Bluegrass. Initially influenced by the likes of Tom Waits, Nick Cave and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, the artist born as Danny Kiranos has a recognised sound that carries traces of US artists such as Americana string band Old Crow Medicine Show and singer-songwriters William Elliott Whitmore and David Eugene Edwards (16 Horsepower), allied with direct, often morbid lyrics shot through with a dark sense of humour. A first taste from his new album ‘Everything Is Fine’, due to be released this coming Friday, is the confessional ballad ‘Cocaine And Abel’ (today's Track Of The Day). Kiranos has also amassed a sizeable following in the UK and will tour for the first time as Amigo The Devil in December kicking off at London's The Borderline on Friday 7th.

Accompanying Ziggy Alberts latest single, 'Letting Go', taken from his forthcoming album, 'Searching For Freedom', due to be released on Friday 19th March, is today's uplifting Video Of The Day, made with the help of Ziggy’s friends and fans. With a call out to share moments of overcoming fear and relishing in the joy that comes with it, the ‘Letting Go’ music video is a motivating, yet reflective piece, that captures the track's sentiment. Indeed, the upcoming album marks a new chapter in the evolution of Alberts, although this latest single still has hints of Ziggy’s classic melodies, as found on his earlier records, albeit mixed with new mature elements that give us an exciting glimpse into the tones of his progressive journey.

Seattle native Fences, the alter-ego of musician/songwriter Christopher Mansfield, will be releasing the Deluxe version of his 3rd album 'Failure Sculptures' on Friday 5th March via ENCI, and the first single, and today's cinematic Video Of The Day, 'A Mission', takes a deep dive into the depths of a drinker and the path that he walks.

Legendary Rhythm'n' Blues band Dr Feelgood celebrate their 50th anniversary this year with a definitive 'Greatest Hits' compilation, out on Friday 2nd April, which includes a new rendition of Willie Dixon's ‘You Can't Judge a Book By Lookin at the Cover’ - one of today's 'Feelgood Sunday' Tracks Of The Day that also features new stuff from Osyron, The Druids Of Stonehenge, Elliott Waits For No One, Arsenic Tea Party and Storm Seeker. One of the UK's hardest working groups, The Feelgoods formed in 1971 on their native Canvey Island beside the Thames estuary. Theirs is a remarkable story. Fronted by singer and harmonica player Lee Brilleaux and guitarist extraordinaire Wilko Johnson, they made their name in the music pubs of London and soon landed a major record deal. This double album is a fitting way to herald half a century of one of the truly great British bands.

Indeed, 'Halcyon Hymns' also features contributions by Mark Almond (ex-Soft Cell) and David Longdon (Big Big Train).
