It’s not Made by These Moments, but another really good album from the Red Clay Strays! These are two of my favorites so far.

Taylor Swift’s new song is good guys.

Great releases from Mountain Grass Unit (EP) and Warren Hayes (live Grateful Dead cover) too. Looking forward to listening to the Red Clay Strays album tonight!

[The Music Man @GoodTunesAlways]

Cool release from Pink Floyd this morning. This version is essentially Pigs on the Wing Pt. 1 and 2 combined, with a nice slide guitar solo in the middle.

[The Music Man @GoodTunesAlways]

To me, this song is kinda like what the band Boston would song like if they were from the south instead of Boston.

[Let Us Now Praise... The Beatles @BeatlesPraise]

Happy Anniversary, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. #OtisRedding loves you...

"Otis had been listening to the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper album ever since its release, wearing it out as he had once worn out Sam Cooke’s Live At The Copa. He came up with '(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay,' a song that, in his mind, was an extension of the Beatles’ music . . . "
--Peter Guralnick, R&B author and screenwriter

"Otis was constantly working on material and ideas. The last night we were together we sat up for hours at a mutual friend’s house. He was dissecting the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper album, trying to figure out what they were doing. He really liked what they were doing and thought they were exceptionally clever. He would listen to it over and over again."
--Phil Walden, Otis's producer and manager

"Otis thought Sgt. Pepper was the greatest thing he ever heard. I guess he was thinking, 'How can I be this creative?'"
--Zelma Redding, Otis's wife

"Otis was fascinated by the Beatles. He played Sgt. Pepper over, and over, and over."
--#Stax historian Rob Bowman

Willie Nelson’s new album, “Dream Chaser” is super solid as well.

Willie and Paul are a combined 176 years young, we are extremely lucky to still be getting good new music from these two legends!

[The Music Man @GoodTunesAlways]

Paul McCartney’s new album is really good guys 🐐

[The Music Man @GoodTunesAlways]

Underrated one by The Band this morning. Guys mostly from Canada perfecting the “Americana” sound.

John Lennon plays "Help!" in the 1970s as originally intended.
