It’s springtime in the Caribbean but for some reason my body and soul think it’s autumn. Perhaps it’s because I have COVID-19 fatigue, haven’t felt cold weather in over three years, and our toddler is on a Halloween kick that I’m missing cool October nights in the Northeast. As for most recent new music faves, I seem to be in a country and folk mood particularly with artists who aren’t purists but are just having fun. Even the darker among my new faves seem to have a silver lining that at least provides a life lesson or a chuckle to help ease the pain. These are songs I imagine would sound great live in a small club and half were actually recorded in the last five years and so I feel good that I’m embracing newer sounds even if they are just reintroducing old sounds in new ways. That’s the way it goes, America. Enjoy!
