Listening
Today Spotify introduced me to The Highwomen (Brandi Carlile, Natalie Hemby, Maren Morris and Amanda Shires, plus collaborators), a country supergroup modeled after the earlier country supergroup The Highwaymen (Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson). Specifically, it played the titular song with guest vocalist Yola Carter, a direct response to "The Highwaymen" that uses the same melody and structure but with a modern and feminist/humanist take on the content. Hadn't thought of the original in years. It's still good, and I recommend the new one too! Looking forward to listening to the rest of the album.
Other likes from recent "Discover Weekly" playlists, heavy on the sad/dark indie that Spotify is convinced is the only thing I like despite the array of international folk and dance, rock, classical, contemporary instrumental, etc. in my Favorites:
State of Mind by Rob de Boer
Suspirium by Thom Yorke
The Colony by Vera Sola, a little goth, a little Latin
Dog in a Manger by Smooth Hound Smith, chill
Fool by Mick Flannery
Song that I Heard by The Barr Brothers if you enjoy nouveau Simon & Garfunkel
Still There by Dirtwire for trad-folk with a dance beat
Waiting Around to Die by Michael Kiwanuka for more of a blues flavor
Warning, I haven't watched any of these music videos, just wanted to find handy links for you.
If you have 7 minutes and a pair of headphones, would also highly rec this spectacular explosion of a song from a Spotify Pride Month playlist: Two Men in Love by The Irrepressibles. It makes me wonder if anyone could ever find a pairing and editing style powerful enough to live up to the music for a vid.
