Rose Cousins, “Borrowed Light”
Canadian fave Rose Cousins’ latest is “Borrowed Light.” Cousins says it’s a “communion with the moon, a reflection on childhood wonder, and the less blemished connection to one’s inner world. It’s a meditation on memory, time, acceptance and the mystery of it all, in the divine stillness of night.”
North Carolina-born, Nashville-based Caleb Caudle releases his new record Sweet Critters today. Speaking of sweet, don’t miss this great track “The Garage.” Caleb shares: “It’s my love letter to small venues and the people who run them. We have to support these spaces or they go away.”
Shemekia Copeland, “Tee Tot Payne”
The new Shemekia Copeland, Blame It On Eve, is officially out! Check out “Tee Tot Payne,” written about Rufus “Tee Tot” Payne. Payne, a Black blues musician from Greenville, Alabama is best known for being a mentor to Hank Williams.
“My new record has a sound that rubs against your ears like soft Autumn kisses and goes down as smooth as the finest whiskey.” That’s how Guy Davis talks about his newest album, The Legend of Sugarbelly. Glad to feature “Firefly” on Fresh Cuts today; for more on the album, check out a review shared by our sister organization, No Depression.
