This is the other part of the split with Peter Donovan that ended yesterday's recap. You may recall - Ocean and Donovan are co-owners of the brand new Envoy Records. Elijah Ocean is based in L.A.
Next up, we have a track from this solo effort from the front man of the New York band - The John Sally Ride. The band had been gearing up for a new album, but the pandemic lead to this solo effort. Dig the vibes of this track.
Next up, we have the title track of the new EP by this Portland based post-punk band who recently opened a storefront/shop in Portland called R.I.P. City.
We close out this playlist with the first single and semi-title track from the forthcoming album When You Think It's Right It's Always Wrong. Post Profit are an alternative rock band from Longview, Texas. Some hard rock to close out this week's playlist.

Thursday Morning Shuffle
"All Along The Watchtower" by Bill Wilson (Unreleased - ?)
I learned about the late Bill Wilson from my Indiana friends Sue and Mark. Bill Wilson was one of a group of musicians over the years who was tapped to be the next Bob Dylan. (side note: I wish music journalist/record execs/whoever says things like this would just stop - let an artist be the first of whoever they are). In any event, this (I think) unreleased demo was recorded in my friend Mark Robinson's studio. No video could be found of Wilson doing this Dylan song, so I found one of his doing a song about Indiana for Sue and Mark.
"On the Road Again by Nas (from Music from the American Epic Sessions - 2017)
From that excellent PBS series linking early American music with contemporary artists... series host Jack White plays on this track along with our friend Fats Kaplin. An old Memphis Jug Band song. One of the most fascinating scenes in the series was watching Nas find the connection between this late 19th/early 20th century black music to the hip-hop of today.
"Stromboli" by Rising Appalachia (from Alive - 2017)
Next up, a track from a live album, we featured a few years back. An extended version of a song from the folk collective's 2015 Wider Circles album. Rising Appalachia was formed in New Orleans by two sisters Leah and Chloe Smith around 2005.
"Girl and Boy" by Neville and Sugary Staple (from Rude Rebels - 2018)
Ska legend Neville Staple (The Specials) and his Rude Girl wife Sugary have been favorites of ours over the last few years.
"Відчиняй" by Alyona Alyona (from For Belarus - 2020)
Next up, from an international benefit compilation for the people of Belarus - we have a fantastic track from this Ukrainian rapper and songwriter. I don't know what she is saying, but it sounds amazing.
"Naomi" by Atta Boy (from Big Heart Manners - 2020)
And finally we close with a track from the recent album by California based Alt-Americana band Atta Boy. Really dig this song.
