Denver – Chris K's Colorado Playlist

VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK – JAN 25 2021

When I posted yesterday (Jan 25) I didn’t include a Video Pick of the Week. Truthfully, there hasn’t been much put out yet this year. Today, however, I came across a video thanks to Westword that’s a message to Denver mayor Hancock about homelessness and the sweeps that have been taking place in Denver.

I cannot relate to what’s going on. I can only watch – feeling somewhat helpless and guilty in my senior age white lower middle class homeowner lifestyle.

While I’m not a close personal friend, I’ve known Jeff Campbell for many years through his music, theater and advocacy. I’ve know Jon Shockness aka Kid Astronaut since his days in Air Dubai.

Please share this video. It’s an important message, not only to Mayor Hancock, but to city leaders all around Colorado who are struggling with folks forced to live in squalor on our streets. I pray fervently we can ALL work together for a real solution to this tragedy.

If you’re a working member of our music community and you need help, please reach out. Rocky Mountain Music Relief was established to help in times such as these. We can’t solve your financial problems but we can offer a little bit of help. Here’s the link to the aid application.

Peace,
chrisk

VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK

CP S14 EP27 2020

Monday July 13 2020 – I can’t recall a time when I was told I couldn’t play something that had already been released to the public via streaming sites or YouTube. But that’s exactly what’s happening with some good friends of mine.

Bonnie and Taylor Sims are both Bonnie & the Clydes and a side project called Everybody Loves an Outlaw. An ELAO song called “I See Red” hit twelve million spins on Spotify. Add in the 2+ million plays on YouTube and you have a verified hit. BUT … radio cannot play it. So I cannot play it. BUT – I can share it. Here only. Not on the show. Not until I’m told I can by the label. In the meantime, here’s a new video from Bonnie & Taylor doing the hit “solo.”

Another new release is also sitting in my catalog that I can’t play on the radio, but can share here. “All the Misery Money Can Buy” is the latest from my pals in Gasoline Lollipops. It’s available wherever you get your music. And it’s the best thing they’ve done to date. The new album, recorded in Louisiana, is due out September 11.
