Featured Friday Playlist (Songs 11-16):
11. "This Life Must Be Long" by Roof Beams
First up today, we have the title track of the new album by D.C. Alt-folk/Americana band Roof Beams - named for a Salinger novella. It is their first album since 2016.
12. "Terrible Dad" by Slow Coyote
Next up, we have a track from the new album, Family Man, by the New Hampshire based project of singer-songwriter Lucas Perry. The sound combines grunge, folk, rock, and blues in a most interesting way.
13. "Come on Over" by Domenic Cicala
Next up, we have the title track off the new album by this Washington D.C. songwriter. The album is a covers/duets album. This track is a cover of a 1975 Barry and Robin Gibb song performed with Rachel Harrington. Other singers on the album include Jaimee Harris and BettySoo. The songwriters covered include Townes Van Zandt, Fred Eaglesmith, Donnie Frits, and Dave Alvin and Rosie Flores.
14. "You Can't Fall in Love For the Sake of It" by Boxteles
Next, the latest single from this UK indie band. Great sound.
15. "Hands Off" by Rylan Brooks
Next, we have our second featured song from the forthcoming If Wishes Were Horses (March 12) by this Outlaw Country duo. The album, you may recall, was recorded in Nashville with an impressive lineup of musicians.
16. "Whiskey" by DL Rossi
We close this segment of music with the first single from the forthcoming album, Lonesome Kind (April 23) - the third album from Michigan based singer-songwriter DL Rossi. This was a great introduction for me to this impressive songwriter. More to come.
Featured Friday Playlist
"I'm Indestructible - Live" by Andrew Adkins (from One Evening in Brooklyn: Live! - 2020)
E2TG favorite Andrew Adkins from a live EP he put out early last year - a live recording of one of his best known songs.
"Sky Blue" by Townes Van Zandt (from Sky Blue - 1973/2019)
The title track of a previously unreleased Townes Van Zandt album - recorded in 1973 but not released until 2019.
"Sunrise over Lake Tahoe" by Michael Zimmerman (from Winds of Change - 2020)
From the second release of instrumental compositions by Nashville musician and a favorite of E2TG.
"Prince Charming Slit His Throat" by Andrew Adkins (from The Echoist - 2020)
A second track by Adkins - maybe Prince Charming wasn't so indestructible? From his 2020 studio album The Echoist.
"Summer" by The Storm Petrels (from Seasons - 2021)
We had "Winter" in the Featured Friday Playlist this week. Here is the "Summer" track from the Seasons EP. The band is based in the UK, but the e-mail they sent me indicates a Nashville connection, so I included them here. I could not find any video representing this band...
"Never Enough" by Skylar Gregg (from Roses - 2020)
A favorite release from 2020 via singer-songwriter Skylar Gregg.
"Empty" by Ghost Town Remedy (from Dry Spell - 2020)
And, we can't seem to shake Ghost Town Remedy - not that we want to... this is a track from their recent Dry Spell album.
