SONG | ARTIST | ALBUM
* Penwick | Harlem Pop Trotters | Harlem Pop Trotters
Music to stroll to.
* Woke Up This Morning | Paul Pena | Paul Pena
Amazing track by an amazing artist. Be sure to check out the entire album. Also Genghis Blues is a 1998 documentary about Paul Pena and part of his life journey. Highly recommend.
* Most Things Haven’t Worked Out | Junior Kimbrough | Most Things Haven’t Worked Out
Junior Kimbrough is the standard when it comes to hill country blues, and this track is an example of why.
* La Malanga Brava | Joe Cuba Sextet |Wanted Dead Or Alive (Bang Bang Push Push Push)
The sound of salsa can move mountains.
* Didn’t I | Darondo | Let My People Go
Funk and soul never sounded so sweet.
* What’s on Your Mind | Greyhounds | Accumulator
Slow Texas R&B that I can not get enough of.
* Ohio | John Batiste, Leon Bridges, Gary Clark Jr. | Ohio
A powerful take on a powerful protest song.
* Way Back in the Way Back | Hiss Golden Messenger | Quietly Blowing It
“Up with the mountains. Down with the system.” - Always
* Your Flag Decal Won’t Get You into Heaven Anymore | John Prine | John Prine
No one can say it like John Prine.
* A Change Is Going To Come | Baby Huey | The Baby Huey Story: The Living Legend
A mind-blowing trip through a classic song of longing through pain.
