Song Notes Radio David Pots.

Hey there friends! An audio post today, where I'm happy to share five of my favorite newly released songs from the past few months (Aug-Sept 2021). I'll give a brief bit of context as to why I love each one of these tunes, and then play them for you. I hope you enjoy, and get turned on to something you didn't know about.

Songs featured in this episode:

Texas Moon by Vincent Neil Emerson


From his self-titled album. Love the production of the entire album, from start to finish. Rich instrumentation without every feeling like it buries his singing & storytelling.

Juanita by Sturgill Simpson


From his new album The Ballad of Dood & Juanita – a concept album very much in the flavor of Willie Nelson's Red Headed Stranger. And, this track features Willie Nelson on guitar!

Like I Used To by Sharon Van Etten and Angel Olsen


Released as a single (they also released an acoustic version).
I love this live performance from Jimmy Kimmel – watching these two sing together is 🔥

Old Gods by Emily Scott Robinson.


Released as a single from her upcoming album American Siren.
Her prior album Traveling Mercies is fantastic, from start to finish. Trigger over at Saving Country Music named "The Dress" as his song of the year from 2019.

Skip a Rope by Charley Crockett


Last song from his new album Music City USA.
This one is a cover of a 1967 song written by Jack Moran and Glenn Douglas Tubb (orig. recorded by Henson Cargill)

Honest Fight by Charley Crockett


Played in the episode intro & outro. Opening song from his new album Music City USA.
