Arr, matey! Sling some skilly’n’duff and grab a tankard of October Ale, because this episode features a sea shanty by Brian Jacques, the author of my beloved Redwall books. Which, by the way, Rosa and I are going to make a podcast about it.
Also, some of
the best new Americana out this week!
Album
of
the
Week:
Charles
Ellsworth
--
Honeysuckle
Summer
Ellsworth’s
music has always had an excellent Americana sensibility, but in the
past it has ranged from humorous to straight-ahead spleen.
On
Honeysuckle
Summer, he cuts to
his own core with some of the most honest and personal songs I’ve
heard from him, with beautiful storytelling that really did make my
heart ache.“Blood in the Halls” is easily one of the best songs
about gun control I’ve heard while making this blog.
