Knoxville musician Matt Woods has released an official video for his track “Tiny Anchors.”
The song is lifted from Woods’ stunning 2014 album With Love From Brushy Mountain. Rich, warm and full aurally, aesthetically and emotionally, we were moved to note in our album review: “If there’s a finer example of a musician bleeding on to record, we’ve yet to hear it.”
The video for “Tiny Anchors” was once again directed by Chris Metts for Goldstream Productions, the same creative outfit behind Woods’ previous video for …Brushy Mountain track “Ain’t No Living.”

Gary Clark Jr. has unveiled a video for his track “The Healing.”
The song is taken from the guitarist, singer and songwriter’s new album, The Story Of Sonny Boy Slim, released last week.
Speaking recently to Rolling Stone, Clark Jr. said of the track: “On ‘The Healing’ track, I played a lot of the instruments myself and got very immersed in the track. Live, I get to hear it all back performed with the energy of live musicians and we can take it further if we want.”
The video for “The Healing” was directed by Gaston Jouany and you can check it out below.
Clark Jr. is currently on tour in support of The Story Of Sonny Boy Slim, opening for Foo Fighters on their North American jaunt.
Of Mice & Men have shared a video for their track “Never Giving Up.”
The song is taken from last year’s deluxe edition of the band’s third studio LP, Restoring Force: Full Circle.

Tairrie B’s return to her West Coast hip-hop roots continued apace this week as the mercurial maven dropped the official video for her new solo rap track “Beware The Crone.”
The song is the first single from the trailblazing artist’s new album Vintage Curses, scheduled for release on the 14th of August, and the new clip comes hot on the heels of last week’s single launch and lyric video.
Beautifully shot in black and white, says Tairrie of her vision for the official video: “It’s been a while since I recorded a hip hop album, let alone a video with me rapping. Like the songs themselves, I didn’t want to mimic what so many other women in music seem to be doing at the moment. I’m not a fan of bright colourful imagery or over-the-top sexuality. I wanted there to be a strong and empowering, yet darkly visceral and magical sensibility to the visuals.”
Directed by Tairrie B herself, she explains of the filming process: “I shot many of the scenes myself and others were filmed by my good friends Jill and Gary Bandfield of TourBusLive.com – talented husband and wife photographers. They understood where I wanted to go visually so I asked them to collaborate with me in bringing a few songs from my new album, ‘Vintage Curses’, to life.”
“We shot all the nature scenes in the back woods of Griffith Park which is one of my favourite places to hike in Los Angeles and somewhere I have loved since I was a child. The rest of the video was filmed in Hollywood, in our studio and our home.”
Check out the official video for “Beware The Crone” below:
“Beware The Crone” was co-produced by The Covenant (Tairrie B. Murphy, Mick Murphy & Josh Lynch from Weapons of Mass Production) and features additional vocals from Wiley Hodgden (The Birds Of Satan) and John Lousteau (Teenage Time Killers), with live drums by Mick Murphy.
