NEW-TO-ME MUSIC ACTS
Mastodon Post
Some of the new-to-me acts I really like are
<> Rachel Croft, a YouTube suggestion that worked out really well
<> Southern Avenue: I heard a track on WRSI and bought it right away
<> The Staves: it seems to me I have bought every Staves release except for one and I'll probably go back for it
<> The Wolff Sisters (with Dick Curless's grandson on drums): a new favorite out of Boston
<> The Hillbilly Moon Explosion when the woman sings. Since this hillbilly outfit is Zurich-based, the vocalist could be singing in a third language.
Twisted Pine has a new album released today titled "Love Your Mind."

The featured track, "Goosebump Feeling" is quite good; but the following track, "Chanel Perfume" ft. Ali McGuirk is even better.
I've also gone back to the great Bettye LaVette.

THE STAVES
"WAITING FOR THE JOY"
Mastodon Post
Waiting for the Joy
by The Staves
https://thestaves.bandcamp.com/track/waiting-for-the-joy
This vocal group is new to me in 2024, though Bandcamp does show 2022 releases. It seems to me I have bought every track offered except for maybe one. My best guess is that 2024 offerings are bringing The Staves more airplay here in the United States and a growing following. So far, this has seemed to be a Five Star vocal group.

Huh. I once shared a stage with these lovely ladies. Suffice to say they've been a lot more successful than me.
For "Music Women Wednesday", a song that could be sound depressing, but I think it's more about facing up and getting motivated after something fails.
From their 2021 release, "Good Woman" –
The Staves, "Failure" (2021)

"Acting like you know me,
Like you’re part of my family,
I don’t owe you anything
You just came in
And I’m sorry if I ruined the party
And I’m sorry if all the fuss really killed your vibe …"

Music: "Make it Holy" by #TheStaves
Music only, no subtitles
Painful, lovely, tragic
Meng Yao loves a very good, very trusting boy
Meng Yao also keeps killing people
This cannot end well
