Ooh, this is fun! These are a few songs I've been obsessed with recently:
"Friends 'Til the End" by Shipwrecked Comedy
"Hayloft II" by Mother Mother
"Curses" by The Crane Wives
"I Wanna Be Yours" by Arctic Monkeys
"I Found You" by Alabama Shakes
Thanks so much for asking me! I may or may not have mentioned some of these already in other tag memes, but I'm still obsessed.

Tennessee Freedom Singers Release “Tennessee Rise” in Support of Gloria Johnson
Rarely does an all-star song for a good cause result in good music.
But the Tennessee Freedom Singers bucked the trend of “Do They Know it’s Christmas?,” “We are the World” and “That’s What Friends are For” with “Tennessee Rise,” a track to raise awareness and funds for Gloria Jones’ run for the U.S. Senate.
A gospel-inspired, bluesy shuffle with lyrics that allude to the Civil Rights moment and Volunteer State music, the five-minute song features more than 35 artists, including Allison Russell, Emmylou Harris, Amanda Shires, Brandi Carlile, Brittany Howard, Elizabeth Cook, Katie Pruitt, Langhorne Slim, Maren Morris, and Mary Gauthier singing alone and together in a call for a better day.
Tennessee Rise, the sleep out of your eyes/you thought tomorrow’d never come, they sing on the chorus.
The song is worthy simply for existing. The fact that it’s sonically pleasing and only occasionally overwrought is borderline miraculous.

Brittany Howard Impresses Sold-Out Webster Hall on Friday Night
Brittany Howard – Webster Hall – February 16, 2024
I first saw Brittany Howard more than 10 years ago, fronting Alabama Shakes at a sold-out Bowery Ballroom. That show totally rocked and Howard made an immediate lasting impression: a name, a voice, a presence I knew I’d be experiencing a decade or more down the road, in some form or another. On Friday night at Webster Hall, that form was perfectly defined, Howard headlining the first of two very sold-out shows, her name, voice and presence continuing to make lasting impressions on New York City audiences. The show opened with a set from Howard’s friend and Bermuda Triangle side-project-mate Becca Mancari, who tied together rock, soul and country through her deeply personal songwriting, setting up things just right for the headliner to come.
Howard’s band took the stage first, nine strong with two guitars, keyboards, organ, bass, drums and two backup singers, building an atmospheric churchlike chord for her entrance, the lights colored like sunlight through the stained glass of a chapel. The set began with “Earth Sign” and then “I Don’t,” just like her brand-new, week-old album, What Now, although she moved easily between the newer material and older songs, drawing from soul, R&B, folk, rock and combinations thereof, the widespread, universe appeal of her sound and energy easily explaining why every cranny of the club was filled with fans of all types. The set picked up momentum with “Stay High,” off 2019’s Jaime, and the following “Red Flags,” with the band turning out a deeper, darker sound.
“Samson” gave the ensemble even more room to explore, a nifty back-and-forth between the guitar and keys, Howard repeatedly singing, “I'm split in two.” That was one of many love songs, with some, like “Baby,” feeling especially personal as they resonated across the room. The latter half of the show found Howard fulfilling her back-when promise, elevating above genre or labels: “History Repeats,” a get-down Friday-night banger, “Georgia,” with its slow, cathartic organ build, “Goat Head” — pairing a delicious groove with lyrics like “’Cause Mama is white / And Daddy is black / When I first got made / Guess I made these folks mad” — “13th Century Metal,” with its contrasting sonic chaos with positive messaging, and “Every Color in Blue,” the instrumental complexity of the band matching the complexity of the song’s mental health subject matter. The set ended on a quiet note, Howard all alone with an acoustic guitar, singing “Power to Undo,” another sold-out show in NYC, another long-lasting impression on all in attendance. —A.

Sunny War Album Review: Anarchist Gospel
(New West)
BY JORDAN MAINZER
A breakup. The death of her father. A decaying Earth. Uprooting and moving to her childhood city. On Anarchist Gospel, Sunny War looks change in the face--some unexpected, some sudden, some gradual--and transforms chaos into her best album yet. The singer-songwriter and blues guitar fingerpicker has long channeled struggles, from personal bouts with substance abuse and addiction, to the overall fight against institutional racism and police brutality, into genre-averse songs of pain and triumph. The all-encompassing Anarchist Gospel expounds on this ethos, along with a cast of collaborators including producer Andrija Tokic (Alabama Shakes, Hurray For The Riff Raff), Americana wunderkind Allison Russell, Gillian Welch creative partner David Rawlings, and My Morning Jacket's Jim James. Still, Sunny shines above all.
Take opener "Love's Death Bed", featuring backing vocals from Russell and Chris Pierce's shimmering harmonica, atop clacking drums and banjo. Sunny, who leads a chorus in a call and response, centers the song's dead-eyed stare into the soul of an ex. "Your mouth is a gun / Got bodies dropping every time you speak," she sings, making our jaws drop from the get-go. On "No Reason", a song built around Sunny's incredible desert blues riff and Jack Lawrence's steady bass, she clarifies that even though her ex might not mean to hurt her, it doesn't matter: "Good intentions that you keep / Don't change the fact that you're a beast." Sunny explores intentionality of destruction throughout the album, both in interpersonal relationships and via the environment, asking us to empathize and reflect on the space we take up. On "Shelter And Storm", she sings from the point of view of Earth itself, albeit one that has managed to survive apocalypse, repeatedly and jubilantly declaring, "The humans are away!" Yet, on "Earth", her tone is mournful and more realistic. A stunning combination of blues and jazz, bolstered by the vocal support of James, Maureen Murphy, Nickie Conley, and Kyshona Armstrong, as well as past collaborator Micah Nelson's slinky 12-string, the song reminds us that the end of the world is closer than we think, tangible if you bother to look around.
At the same time, Sunny battles self-destruction throughout Anarchist Gospel; in the lead-up to its release, she spoke about her music representing a battle between that side of herself and the one trying to make things better. On "New Day", she uses the language of addiction to wax on love, hurt, and obsession: "Believing in magic can be tragic / I'm love's junkie, I'm love's addict." One of the record's true standouts is "I Got No Fight", where pained guitars and screaming organs exemplify Sunny's desire for the days to end, depression that buzzes like a fly in her ear. On the gorgeous country tune "His Love", she sings of an unhealthy relationship, "His love fades, my love grows," and the timbres of her voice and the instruments similarly diverge, her lurking deep vocal register contrasting the spryness of the backing vocals, guitars, and pattering drums.
If Anarchist Gospel is anything, it's honest, an album that both bares its teeth and cowers, that sometimes turns inward in the face of trouble but eventually overcomes with boisterous community. On the Crass-quoting, blues stomp clap jaunt of a closer "Whole", Sunny War sings, "Today could be the last, you know / Happy's how you ought to go." Fully knowing it's easier said than done, and for some folks, impossible, Sunny nonetheless dares to dream to everyone.
