Onward into another week....
Last night, I took in my first indoor live music in 13 months. At Dee's Country Cocktail Lounge, checking out Mark Robinson Band. It was a good time. My decision to go was based upon my vaccination status and the safety protocols which I know Dee's follows. I fully understand those who are not yet ready to get out like that. I can report that it was great hearing live music in-person from a great band. I can also report that navigating the new reality is strange and different. Ultimately, I am sure I will do it again, but I am still not sure about larger gatherings.
Our Featured Friday Recap continues now with songs 11-16:
11. "California Highway" by Dallas Moore
The Rain - the new album from outlaw country artist Dallas Moore is out now. We featured one or two of the pre-release singles. This album cut stands as evidence that this is a song album front to back.
12. "Way Over Yonder in the Minor Key" by Cole Quest and The City Pickers
I fell in love this this song when it was released on Mermaid Avenue - a couple of decades ago????. Music by and performed by Billy Bragg with lyrics from Woody Guthrie. This fantastic new cover features the late folk singers grandson backed by a band of great musicians. The album Self (En) Titled is due out this Friday.
13. "Spirits (Having Flown)" by Coke Belda
I am unabashedly a fan of the songs of the brothers Gibb. This is from 5: A Tribute to the Bee Gees Vol. 2 from this Pittsburgh artist. The song was the title track to the 1979 album which was the immediate follow-up to the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.
14. "Juniper Jones" by David Wax Museum
The 8th album from Boston-based duo David Wax Museum is out this Friday. This is the first single, and I like it a lot.
15. "Broken" by Whiskey Fixx
Next up, we have the new single from this relatively new country band from Detroit, Michigan.
16. "Simulation Theory" by B. B. Palmer
We close with a song I just completely fell in love with - it is the recent single from this cosmic country band based in Alabama. It is the second single from their forthcoming Krishna Country album due out later this year. Check it out.
