Of course I am watching
Sunday NFL Countdown (as I do every Sunday) on this Super Bowl Sunday with the AZ, Cards and the Pittsburgh Steelers ...
But, you know, Super Bowl Sunday is also about a vibe and energy and celebration = And, for new music = I don't know of any other song to capture this moment as a Pittsburgh Steeler fan being in the Super Bowl in 2009 other than this song called "
Dance in the Middle" from the new upcoming release of Rusted Root = who happen to reside in Pittsburgh and are big Pittsburgh Steeler fans ... ... ... ...
I have downloaded "Dance in the Middle" from "Stereo Rodeo" = the new RR CD to be released sometime in the near future of this early part of 2009. You can feel free to go to my myspace page and listen to this great tune and chill a while @

Rusted Root: Live in the WNEW Studio
Posted by Evan Levy on November 17, 2008The year was 1993 – I was a college student at Penn State and was making my way to a class when something suddenly stopped me dead in my tracks. It was the sound of Martyr from Rusted Root – a song filled with tribal rhythms, agile finger-picking, and what seemed like a chorus belting out the joyful cry “How long should we play the Martyr?”. It was something different, something truly captivating – and as a college student that became my theme song. I immediately ran to the nearest record store and picked up a copy of Cruel Sun, their first CD. They were not signed to any major labels yet, just a really cool band from Pittsburgh that came through town now and again to spread their music. I had the pleasure of meeting them around that time as I worked for a radio station that sponsored some of their shows at a local nightclub and popular ski resort where they played every spring or summer (and I went to every single one and still have all the ticket stubs to prove it).
Years later when I was working for another three letter network, I interviewed lead singer Michael Glabicki and we discussed the Rusted Root Live album that was released. Now, I’m lucky enough to hang out with the entire band to discuss their new album Stereo Rodeo which will be released in early 2009. Their new album is filled with all the different styles you’ve come to expect from Rusted Root and definitely has all the elements you want. From the energetic dance euphoria that Dance In The Middle evokes to the powerful epic sound of Weary Bones. As the band explains, the title of the album just sounded good and as far as Weary Bones goes – there’s two ways to interpret it.
Listen Up: Here’s Weary Bones performed live in our WNEW.com studios – Dig it:
The band said that they plan of being on tour for the next few years, so make sure you check out

With a new album on the way Rusted Root is back out on the road and proving they can still make 'em move. They brought their bouncing, percussion-heavy funkfest to New York's Nokia Theater on Friday and welcomed fans ranging in age from sixteen to sixty. The setlist included new tunes like Weary Bones and Stereo Rodeo, a unique party version of Elvis' Suspicious Minds, and classic jams like Martyr, Send Me On My Way, and Ecstacy.
