    The Lone Bellow's Newest Album 'What a Time to Be Alive'

    In this review, I discuss 'What a Time to Be Alive,' the latest album by veteran trio, The Lone Bellow. It's soft rock, I would say, but strong elements of folk and country and even soul. Really great listen, so I hope you check it out. RIP Robert Duvall - in remembrance of a great artist, the movie rec for this week is 'Tender Mercies,' starring Duvall, directed by Australian Bruce Beresford. Give me a follow, a like, a review, and whatever else. https://www.buzzsprout.com/2560780/episodes/18740836 www.robiestreet.com robiestpod@gmail.com

    Ep13 - Album Review: 'Sad and Beautiful World' by Mavis Staples

    In Episode 13, I review the 2025 album 'Sad and Beautiful World' by Gospel/Soul legend Mavis Staples, best known for being the lead singer of the incredible Staple Singers. She and her family, led by Pops Staples, wrote protest songs during the civil rights movement and had a number of hits in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Mavis' solo career is in its seventh decade, now, and I discuss how 'hard times' led to the making of this sweet and serene record.
