7:02 AM		Joan Armatrading Willow Gold: Joan Armatrading A&M 2005 I saw Armatrading in 1983, and all I knew was the Walk Under Ladders album. When she sang this, and several hundred women sang the chorus with her, I was seriously goose-bumped.
7:06 AM		Kate & Anna McGarrigle Rainbow Ride Heartbeats Accelerating Gardencourt 2022 A beautiful song written by Anna from their 1990 album. "Flotsam and jetsam, the riff raff, the raggle-taggle."
7:11 AM		Sunny War New Day N Anarchist Gospel New West Records 2023 She's slowly getting under my skin - I haven't played the whole album in a while - maybe I'll like it more now that individual songs have been grabbing me.

7:20 AM		Andy White & Tim Finn Three Sheep Grazing N AT Floating World 2023 These guys worked together once before in the late 80s, I think, but I've never even seen that record.

7:32 AM		Dr. John Keep That Music Simple Tango Palace A&M 1979 I know he's making fun of popular music at the time, but he sure does a bang-up job playing it.
7:36 AM		Ernest Ranglin Soul De Ern Guitar In Ernest Dub Store Records 2004 The brilliant Jamaican guitarist.

8:26 AM		Ricky Nelson When the Sun Shined Its Face On Me Perspective Geffen 1968 He hadn't gone to the garden party yet or dropped the "y" from his name, but he was clearly an adult.
8:28 AM		Kip Loui Only Child L N Cold Out There Kaplooey 2023 Sweet song filled with love for the titular child.
8:31 AM		Eileen Rose Each Passing Hour Be Many Gone Holy Wreckords 2014 She's been making first-rate singer/songwriter records for quite some time now.

9:10 AM		Family Children Fearless Mystic Records 1971 One of those bands from the late 60s/early 70s that I haven't heard much from, but which I always welcome when I do.
9:12 AM		The Merseys Dreaming I Stand Accused Grapefruit 2021 Nice little psychedelic 60s trip.
9:14 AM		Nick Waterhouse The Problem with a Street N The Fooler Innovative Leisure 2023 Gotta admit, that's a curious song title.
9:17 AM		Myron Elkins Hands To Myself N Factories, Farms & Amphetamines Low Country Sound/Elektra 2023 The dude is just 21 years old and already sounding like a veteran.
