Another quick flu edition. It has been difficult to get rid off whatever this virus is.
Wonder Women of Country EP is my favorite release of the week. We also have great albums from Paper Wings, Dancer, Country Risque and Andrea von Kampen plus EPs from Charlie Whitten and Dominic Angelella.
A big Finnish release week led by the wonderful new Viitasen Piia album. There’s also gorgeous new albums from Iisa, Klara LaFleur, Brian and AURAL and singles from Luhtaniitty, Poni, Kaita Isäri Seppälä, HXA, D.O.P.A., Rosita Luu, Modem and Ptak.
There’s big release news too, because there’s a new Myriam Gendron album on the way with a first single. That’s the song of the week. There’s also the debut single from Erin, Mat & Paul. I think it will be a covers only album, but I know it will be special because I love Erin Rae, Mat Davidson (aka Twain) and Paul DeFiglia. Other early faves this week came from Hello Emerson, Shabason, Krgvich & Sage, Mammoth Penguins, Daniel Markham, Scott Ballew, The Lemon Twigs and Cara Beth Satalino. Again just to name a few.
That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Love love love.

A few Bandcamp cuts for the lovely non-streamers:
Oh and do buy the vinyl/cd/download. Spotify and other streaming services are perfect for these introductory purposes, but try to buy at least the music that matter the most to you
I’ll make the playlist on Spotify and then transfer it to other platforms. This means a few tracks might be missing from the from the other platforms, if they are not available there. Oh and there’s a bunch of older episodes on my Spotify profile, if you miss an episode or want to revisit.
If you are looking this after a week has gone, the embedded Spotify will show the latest playlist. I’ll just update the same playlist because if someone wants to follow it, they can just follow that one list and will get a new set of songs each weekend.
