A bit short on time, I was out last night - seeing people and checking out Mark Robinson Band with John Jackson - which was next level good  and the Brian Wright and the Sneak-Ups with guest Jon Latham.  I realized that both played as part of my 2017 E2TG Residency.  It was such a wonderful and needed night. 

Time to wrap up this week's Featured Friday Playlist.  And we really did save some of the best for last...

35. "Dreaming with Alice - Verse 1" by Mark Fry

This is a reissue of 1971 - sought after psych-folk album which came out just last week on Now-Again Reserve Records.  Tremendous. I didn't know anything about this album or about Mark Fry but I am captivating. Fry was just 19 when this was originally recorded. 

36. "Alive" by Dope Sagittarius

37. "Until When" by Jaffa Road

New single from this Toronto based Jewish roots band.  It is the lead single from an album due out in the fall. 

38. "Shooting Star" by Løwenørn

A new project from our old friend Sverre of Supercrashingstar.  Supercrashingstar has a new album out - which we will feature in the new Playlist premiering tomorrow. 

39. "Sad Girls Club" by I M U R

40. "Accountability" by DeLila Black

Great new punk country single from the UK - with BJ Cole on lap steel guitar. 

41. "Fierce and Delicate Things" by Shay Martin Lovette

And why not close out the playlist with one of the strongest songs on the list. Scatter & Gather is the new album from this North Carolina based singer-songwriter.  Fantastic songs and great sounding music. A wonderful way to close out the week's playlist.

Today we continue our recap of this week's list with songs 10-13:

10. "Ode to Rannva" by Mark W. Georgsson

First up today, we have a singer-songwriter from Scotland - whose music combines Celtic and Nordic influences into the realm of country, Americana, and folk. Nashville readers will appreciate he opened for Chance McCoy of Old Crow Medicine Show in Glasgow. 

11. "Keep Dancing" by Sylvie Simmons

Next up, we have the opening track from Blue on Blue - the long-awaited new album by singer-songwriter and author Sylvie Simmons. The album was produced by Howe Gelb. Simmons is the author of the Leonard Cohen bio, I'm Your Man. This track is extraordinary. 

12. "Inventing Sports" by Ryan Allen and His Extra Arms

Next up, we have a quarantine album by Detroit singer-songwriter Ryan Allen of the band Extra Arms. Song Snacks Vol. 1 is the name of this surprise release. The album was written, sung, played, recorded and mixed by Allen. The songs are short and to the point. Great stuff. 

13. "Manbird" by Anton Barbeau
 

We close out this segment of music with the title track from the forthcoming double album from this psychedelic singer-songwriter who was raised in Sacramento and is now based in Berlin. The album was recorded in Berlin, Oxford, Paris, and California, and Barbeau tried to work with as many Sacramento musicians as possible including Michael Urbano and Larry Tagg who were the rhythm section of Bourgeois Tagg.  A great way to close out this segment of our playlist.
