8/27/2020 Music Releases and other updates

     Switchfoot's album last week was really good, I highly recommend "the bones of us" and "I need you (to be wrong)," while the previous week Sheryl Crow released a great live version of "Prove You Wrong" with Stevie Nicks and Maren Morris.  Grace McKagan released her fourth solo single, "One You Love," which was also really good and Rina Sawayama released a cover of "Enter Sandman" (part of the same set that features Miley Cyrus singing "Nothing Else Matters") that will likely join that one and Brandi Carlile's version of "Black Hole Sun" as my favorite covers this year.

 

    At times, I feel overwhelmed, nervous and depressed.  I am very limited in what I can and can't do while so many people are doing destructive and harmful things.  I always worry as coming across as annoying or a nuisance on Social Media and sometimes feel like I'm screaming into nothingness with little response.  In the end, though, I can't control what other people do or how they react to what I do and have to just continue being me and doing what I want/need to do when I get my voice out there.

 

    Halsey has a new album due out tonight, as does cellist Tina Guo and blues-rock woman Suzanne Santo.  A deluxe Beach Boys box set is also being released, this is of the album that contained the original version of "Forever," a song covered by John Stamos with the band for "Full House" in the early 90s.  "Forever" is a beautiful love song and I'm glad to finally have an opportunity to hear the original.
