The Weather Report: It's A Blessing - Maria Muldaur and Bonnie Raitt



The first in a new series: we will do our best to let you know the weather in London via a song that matches it. Scientifically. We're using weather balloons with guitars attached to them and all sorts.


Today we have the heavy delta heat of slide guitar master Bonnie Raitt duetting with the gravel voiced Maria Muldaur on It's A Blessing.

Big River - The Secret Sisters ft. Jack White

The Secret Sisters are about to slug Johnny Cash in the mouth while blowing kisses.


Real life sisters Laura and Lydia Rogers cut this cover of Cash's Big River at Jack White's Third Man Studios, with White pulling double duty as producer and guitarist. 

The track is absolutely torrential. You can feel a dam slowly cracking with each whack of a snare before the water roars forth in the form of dueling guitar solos that gently give way to the Rogers winking harmonies.



Your left with the distinct impression the Sisters would love you up before drowning you deep down on the banks below. And you'll love every minute of it.
