Heading to another week. The election is looming. I am feeling overwhelmed by a lot of things today, but I am not giving up. I am disheartened by the injustice in this world, but I am carrying on with my belief that justice will prevail. I am overwhelmed by the callousness and disregard for basic human rights, but I am still fighting for love and for a world where all people are equal - even in their differences.
I stand with the marginalized and those silenced by the system and the many.
I am tired... but I am here.
Below the jump, we have this week's Music City Monday random shuffle. Before that...
...we pick back up with our recap of this week's Featured Friday Playlist with songs 9-12...
9. "Home Remedy" by Will Kimbrough
We start this segment with the new single from Will Kimbrough - from his forthcoming album Spring Break. The song was co-written with Adrienne Young and is about the healing power of love. Young released her version of the song in 2004. Kimbrough's Spring Break LP will be out October 23.
10. "When This Blows Over" by John Calvin Abney
Tulsa Oklahoma guitarist and singer-songwriter John Calvin Abney is back with another single - John Moreland played bass and drums and Whit Wright played pedal steel. He calls it his song of storms. His new album Familiar Ground is due out in November.
11. "Conflict" by Zao
Zao is a metalcore band that formed in 1993 in West Virginia later moving to Pennsylvania. They recently released a compilation of early recordings called Preface: Early Recordings 1995-1996. This is a track from that album, and it sounds fantastic.
12. "Pay It No Mind - Live" by Lee Taylor
And, we close out this segment of music with the new single from New York City based singer-songwriter Lee Taylor with her tribute to the iconic LGBTQ+ activist Marsha P. Johnson. The song captures the fiery spirit of the trailblazing activist.
Tomorrow - we have the next four songs in the Playlist...
Music City Monday Shuffle
Featured Friday Playlist
Music City Monday Shuffle
"Developing Sickness" by Slump Test (from Slump Test)
The last in-person live music I saw at The 5 Spot before the shutdown was the Decline of Southern Civilization hosted by and starring Slump Test. The band led by Ben Douglas and Ryan Dishen. The band members are mostly best known for playing Americanaish music, but as I long suspected - they are punks at heart.
"All My Loving" by Gina Sicilia (from Tug of War)
Next up, a lovely Beatles cover from Gina Sicilia going back her 2017 release.
"Sayonara Judge" by Robyn Hitchcock (from Robyn Hitchcock)
How about East Nashville resident Robyn Hitchcock with a track from his self-titled, Nashville produced album from 2018.
"Vienna, Illinois" by Julie Christensen & Stone Cupid (from A Sad Clown)
From the most recent album by Julie Christensen (who I first say perform 7 years ago yesterday). Vienna is not pronounced like the city in Austria. It is the home to Vienna Correctional Center Center.
"Feel Like Home" by Peter Cooper (from Opening Day)
And we close out the shuffle with a track from Peter Cooper's excellent 2013 third studio album. The title track is one of, if not the best, baseball song of all time.
