The ExploreMusic Top 7

Top 7 from Jeff Woods

BLT
It’s Too Late
This trio is not only fashioned musically much like Cream, it features on vocals that bands bassist Jack Bruce, (the ‘B’), along with drummer Bruce Lordan (the ‘L’) and guitar hero Robin Trower (the ‘T’) and it’s a fitting first song for what has become ‘guitar week’ for my weekly Wednesday list this time.
Jimi Hendrix
Bleeding Heart
Jimi does the blues. Recorded in 1969 and now available to purchase for the first time ever. This weekend on the radio, I’ll do a behind the scenes look at the whole album with the people that helped put it out, including Jimi’s sister Janie Hendrix.
Chris Whitley
Fireroad for Two
From his tenth studio album, out five months before his young death, produced by Canadian Malcolm Burn (worked with Lanois, Dylan). Whitley remains a favourite artist of mine … deep, dark, soul.
John McLaughlin
Vital Transformation
McLaughlin is among Jeff Beck’s greatest influences.
Jeff Beck
Blue Wind
Every guitarist needs to hear Jeff Beck.
The Black Keys
Thickfreakness
Just guitar drums and vocal. Raw simplicity.
Big Sugar
Wild Ox Moan
When I worked with Texas guitar hero Ian Moore, he told me that when he thinks of Canadian (rock) music, he hears this song.

Your Top 7

Your 7 - week of 03/08/10

Lawrence Arabia
Apple Pie Bed
A criminally under-heard song from 2009, this is super catchy indie-pop from New Zealand. I've been listening to this song nonstop for a while- but watch out, the music video is a lil risque. --Steve, Grimsby
The New Pornographers
Mass Romantic
Arguably the best Canadian Indie band ever. This song encompasses the typical Canadian Indie sound. The strong lyrics and Karen Oesc vocals and creative bridge make this song one of the best to come out in the last 20 years. --Torsten, Toronto
Christian D and the Hangovers
Vampire Rocker
Opener “Vampire Rocker”, storms out of the gate in a fury of pounding drums, fiery guitars and yelped vocals, a horror-themed number with a psychobilly edge. --Christian, Toronto
BuffaloGrass
Paradise Found
Traditional sounding song, written by Pedro Petersen. Texas places and experiences. --Don, Buda, TX
Sevendust
Forever Dead
This is the "leaked" track from the new album. Produced by Johnny K, the album entitled Cold Day Memory promises to be another step forward for the most underrated band I have ever heard. Give it a listen! --Alex, UK
acetate cowboys
Dingo
quirky electronic pop esque track with an unconventional structure --charlie, london
Roots Manuva
Again and Again
Infectious song from Britain's best MC/Producer. Roots has that "Bristol Sound," laced heavily with Dub, Reggae, and mad production skills. --Scruffy, Ottawa
