Today is the last day to check out this week's Featured Friday Playlist. We will have a new list shortly after midnight or maybe a little later if I fall asleep before midnight.

I have been really proud of these lists and the diversity of the music from all over the world. It is fun to hear the mix of music. I am grateful to get to do this and to get the positive feedback I receive. Thanks to the artists and publicists who send me music. I get a lot of e-mails, but I will never complain about that.

It is time to recap the final six songs from this week's playlist... Thanks to everyone who is following.  We will have a brand new playlist tomorrow (possibly just after midnight)

26. "Back 'till I'm Gone" by Leon Majcen

Title track of the new album from NYC by way of Tampa singer-songwriter Leon Majcen. I really dig the sound of his music and I especially like his rich vocals.  He donated all of the proceeds from the pre-sale of his album to the Southern Poverty Law Center - who are dedicated to tracking and identifying hate groups.

27. "Reawakened 2020" by Patrick Ames

A powerful re-imagining of a song that was originally written on inauguration day 2017.  A stirring call to action - with that action being to vote.

28. "Oyo" by Kids Love Surf

A duo that came together during quarantine from the southern coast of England. Poppy electronic sounds - I dig it. 

29. "Any Kind of Angel" by Jenny Reynolds

Long time Austin-based singer-songwriter Jenny Reynolds with the title track from her brand new album which was produced by Mark Hallman and Andre Moran.  The album features Jaimee Harris, Betty Soo and more. This is a wonderful album, and a great addition to this week's playlist.

30. "More Than Heaven" by Marina Matiss

Next, we have a brand new single from Barcelona based singer-songwriter Marina Matiss.  Lovely music. Matiss speaks eight different languages.  Her next single is going to sung in Spanish. 

31. "Kelpius" by Sylvette

Last, but certainly not least, we have the new single from 5-piece art rock band Slyvette - who are from Manchester. The single was produced by Phil Cunningham (New Order) and his Bad Lieutenant band mate Jake Evans.  A delightful change of pace and a great ending to this expansive and diverse playlist. 

    Featured Friday Playlist

Thursday Morning Shuffle

"We Rolled" by Bart Foley (from Outside the Light EP)

Also billed as Foley and  the Fire. UK rock artist Bart Foley is also a commercial pilot. 

"Cliff Notes" by Pylon Reenactment Society (from Messenger/Cliff Notes - single)

Pylon Reenactment Society was formed by Vanessa Bricoe Hay lead singer of Pylon as a way to continue the legacy of the legendary Athens, Georgia band. After releasing an album of remakes of Pylon songs, the band release a two-sided single of new material. This is the b-side, and there was no video found for this - so the video playlist has the a-side. PRS puts on a great live show!

"Evolution" by brim liski (from Duels)

Next up, we have a 2019 track from this Colorado based electronic music band. Cool stuff. 

"Far Apart (Still Close)" by Whitney Shay (from Stand Up!)

Next up, we have a 2020 release from this high-energy soul and blues artist from San Diego. 

"Tarifa" by Sharon Van Etten (from Recorded Live for World Cafe)

Part of those World Cafe archives that were made public about five years ago. 

"Cover Me" (Live) by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band (from 2016/010/19 Chicago, IL)

A song from Born in the USA - taken from a show on The River anniversary tour back in 2016.  The recording of the show was made available as a free download by Springsteen.
