Happy Monday.

Chicago Farmer – Rocco & Susie / Skateboard Song

Just your normal, run-of-the-mill song about falling in love, having kids, and making methamphetamine, followed by a cautionary tale regarding the dangers of kick-flips and nose-grinds.

Midwest Side Stories is very good stuff, and it’s out now.

RIYL: Todd Snider, Billy Joe Shaver, good music, hay bales, Robert Earl Keen, story-songs

Sinkane – U’huh

Here’s a little funky reggae-ish Sudanese pop by way of London.

Chris Thile – My Oh My

And now, Chris Thile being silly-good at music while sitting in with Jon Batiste and Stay Human.

And finally, Delbert McClinton’s newest single, “Like Lovin’ Used to Be”, recently premiered over at American Songwriter.  It’s good.
