We've said before: we're so thrilled with Leland Sklar’s Youtube videos over the past few months. Here's one he posted a few days ago after being asked to perform a cover of “Easy Lover” (he had the chart).
REO Brothers: Something
Back in April, I discovered the REO Brothers band and their incredible cover of “Penny Lane.” I’ve finally gotten the chance to go through more of their videos, and while they’re all fantastic, I really enjoyed their cover of “Something.”
Zander Zon: The Dark Knight
Zander Zon has a new Mayones bass, and so he’s changing things up with this new video. Strung with regular strings (vs. his typical piccolo bass set-up), we get to hear one of his incredible bass arrangements with a new sound.

Steely Dan’s “Peg” is one of my all-time favorite tunes, thanks to the incredible bass line by Chuck Rainey. Rebecca Johnson and her band performed the tune live back in January. As always, Rebecca knocks us out with both her playing and singing.
Cory Wong: Companion Pass
One of my favorite tracks on Cory Wong’s “Motivational Music for the Syncopated Soul” is “Companion Pass.” So I was thrilled to see him share the video for the tune yesterday, with Louis Cato on bass.

The new Scary Pockets video once again features bassist Sam Wilkes, who always delivers. But we were absolutely knocked out by India Carney’s vocals on this one. Check out this beautiful take on John Lennon’s “Imagine.”
Robin Clabby, KJ McNeill, and Ted Gould: People Get Ready
A week or so ago, my good friend Ted Gould sent me a teaser clip of a video he was working on. I couldn’t wait for it to be done and to share it here. Check out this take on the Curtis Mayfield classic, “People Get Ready.”
