lori mckenna - wreck you (studio-2016) it's all I know how to do

I give you a stone-cold guarantee ... you are gonna dig this tune and video :)

Live from an empty Ryman theater in July 2020 ... this is awesome ...

courtney marie andrews - if i told (studio-2020) gorgeous soothing sunday AM song ...

It's REALLY Emmylou Harris sounding, which is to say, it's awesome.

margo price - hurtin (on the bottle) (studio-2015) i can't believe this song isn't 50 years old

Instant friggin' classic AFAIC

Raise your hand if you ever went to the Renaissance Pleasure Faire at Black Point Forest, Marin, CA

AKA Novato, CA.

You know ... the REAL Ren Faire.

I know they still have 'em now, but this one was special, cause the spot was special. It was heavily wooded, like you'd expect such an event to be, and the structures were built over the course of many years, it wasn't some travelling outfit. This little spot of forest was practically converted to look like Olde England.

I just ask cause I was thinking about it today, talking to an old friend I used to go with. It was freaking badass, and I miss it. Ran from early 70's and ended (there) in 1998.
