Today, Andrew Marlin, along with collaborators Jordan Tice and Christian Sedelmyer, released an album ‘Wild Rose of Morning.’ The record displays their take on some favorite traditional tunes from the Americas and the British Isles. Inspired by some of the great interpreters of folk songs (Andy Irvine and Paul Brady, Norman Blake and Doc Watson), they chose and arranged these selections for all of you to enjoy.
Michaela Anne Live at Layman Drug Co.
In the years since Michaela Anne's 2019 Yep Roc release of Desert Dove, the songs have taken many forms from many different stages. This selection of live tracks, recorded with a full band at Layman Drug Company in Nashville TN, is bookended by an unreleased cover of The Judd's classic “Why Not Me”. This song has always been an example of holding many lives for Michaela. It has held various meanings in different moments and felt only fitting to share alongside the live versions of her favorite Desert Dove songs.
With the touring of this record cut short in 2020, it felt as if the record hadn't fully been liberated. These renditions carry the familiar lyrical prowess from Michaela as well as capture the essence of a both comforting and powerful performance.
Humbird Sings Billy Joel
‘Humbird Sings Billy Joel
tbh I’ve never been a Billy Joel head. But this year was a tough one. In my own little world, in the macrocosm we all share, for friends and family I love. It’s been a big heart wrenching Uffdah. And one day while crying in the grocery store a song came on with lyrics that felt like they were talking to me at the exact right time I needed, a little pep talk to find a way, to take the next step, to keep moving.
Anyways, that song was ‘Vienna’ which is apparently a big hit I never truly listened to before. I love that about songs. Sometimes they float around for decades and you never really hear em. Then when you need it bad and don’t even realize, they wrap around you and keep you company.’ - Siri Undlin
