February 5, 2008Red Clay RiverRecorded Jan. 15, 2008 Producer Notes: Red Clay River, based in Roanoke, is the brainchild of Dan Bivins, formerly of Black Jack and the Long Haulers. Bivins' music, steeped in ancient styles that recall such old-time players as Dock Boggs, will haunt you. Bivins writes on the decidedly modern forum of myspace.com: "Red Clay is keeping the sounds of ghosts riding through the holler on their four-board pine coffins. And they're comin for you boy, they're comin for you". |

Updated May 14: We have a new number one music video in MusicCast land. For six weeks, The Seed ruled the top spot with "No More." Well, no more. This past week, the Pickin Buds from Rocky Mount moved into the top spot on our list of most-played local music videos with "Demijohn." The Seed didn't fall far, though. The jamsters still own three spots in the Top 5. And the Roanoke Allstars continued to hang in there, as well. Falling out of the Top 5 this week: The Wading Girl. If you think your band's video should be in the Top 5, well, post it to our site, and maybe it will be. We base this list on who gets the most plays each week, so keep clicking. Details are below. Here’s the week Top 5, based on number of plays on this MusicCast this past week: 1. Demijohn," by the Pickin Buds2. "No More," by The Seed" 3. "Can You Understand?," by The Seed 4. "OxyContin Rock," by the Roanoke Allstars 5. "A New Season," by The Seed Next update coming: May 21. Next band coming to the MusicCast: Maybe yours, if you submit a video.
