Featured Friday Playlist recap Part 5 (The Final Chapter) (Songs 45-52):
45. "Hey Mama (Edit)" by Zebrah
First up, today, we have a single - off the debut EP Stripes (due out in May) from this London-based French duo. A great sounding song.
46. "Call of the Morning" by Ventrelles
Manchester band Ventrelles are up next with their follow-up to last year's "County Lines". This time out - they bring a psych drenched pop sound that hits me just right.
47. "Shut Down" by John Louis
Next up, we have a fantastic song from Minneapolis based singer-songwriter John Louis. It is the follow-up to "Gone Too Far" which was released back in February. Both songs are being released together on CD as an A/B - a homage to the classic 45s Louis grew up with. I love this song.
48. "She Has Spoken" by Dawn-Song
I also love this song - from the forth-coming debut album For Morgan (due in May) from this Welsh-born singer songwriter. The album is an audio time-capsule from father to son. This first single is a lovely song.
49. "Somewhere to Run" by Jon Flynn
Jon Flynn from the L.A. band Diamonds Hands (who are going to be releasing their fourth album later this year) just released his solo debut album Citrus. This song - and the album have a crystal cool Brit pop sound. I dig.
50. "So High" by Mass Experience
Australian duo - Mass Experience was formed by Katie M. Little and Timothy Poulton who met twenty-five years ago - they each pursued successful careers (Poulton as a photographer - visiting remote spots on the planet and Little as a stand-up comedian and author. When COVID-19 grounded both their careers - Mass Experience was born. This is the third single from their forthcoming album.
51. "Lonely In Space" by The Buzzards of Fuzz
Next, we have the new single from Atlanta based groovy psych rock band - The Buzzards of Fuzz. Their first full-length album is due out in September. This is cool stuff.
52. "Anti-Social" by ACORN
And, we close out this week's playlist with a song that caught my ear because I could relate to the sentiment. ACORN is based in Nashville - the music is described as country-pop which is something I usually don't care for, but then again - I don't care for genre labels in general - I'm glad I checked this out. I always like to end the playlist with something interesting and a little different - and I think this fits the bill.
Featured Friday Playlist
"Until You" by Steven Keene (from It Is What It Is - 2019)
First up, a 2019 release from this New York singer-songwriter. This was a comeback album when it was released.
"Austin in the Summer" by Allen Damron/Tim Henderson (from The Legacy Collection Vol 3: Damron Sings Henderson - 2016)
From that expansive 6 volume box set of the late great Tim Henderson - this volume features the late Allen Damron performing some of Henderson's best songs.
"Someone Knows Where I Am" by Tom Savage (from Great Beyond - 2019)
Next up, we have a track from a 2019 album by this Canadian singer-songwriter who reached out to me in early 2020. Great stuff.
"My Delightful Inheritance" by Epilogues (from You - 2021)
The only 2021 release in this shuffle comes from this UK singer-songwriter. His release You was a follow-up to his previous release Me. You came out back in March.
"Angry Hands" by Barrence Whitfield And the Savages (from Under the Savage Sky - 2015)
And, we close with a track from the 2015 album by soul/r&b greats Barrence Whitfield and his band The Savages. I got this track from the annual mix-CD of a friend of mine.
