| Chris Dufresne You In the Sky N You In the Sky (single) Self-Released 2021 This one goes out in memory and as a tribute to the life of Chris Dufresne. This is a cover version of a Waterboys song written by Mike Scott and was inspired by an American Indian poem and by the gospel music the Waterboys were listening to when they were recording during the 1987 sessions for "Fisherman's Blues." This beautiful vocal by Chris was played during a celebration of his life which recently took place on October 26. He passed away way too soon at age 62 last year on May 25 but left behind quite the legacy with the very definition of a well-lived life. He did so many things well but being a loving husband and father to three sons eclipsed everything else. He was a heralded sportswriter for the L.A. Times for 35 years and his biggest love in that realm was covering college football. As you can hear from this, another love of his was music. A supremely talented individual and a wonderful friend from high school and college days...that's how I'll always remember him. |

| Bedouine Songbird N Waysides Bedouine Music 2021 Yeah, I know. So many artists have covered this Fleetwood Mac song written by Christine McVie almost to the point of ad nauseam.

Secondly, Bedouine has the vocals to perform this absent of histrionics and to put the emphasis where it belongs and that's on the melody and lyrics. This is the only cover on her new album which is understated and quite beautiful. |
