Possibly my favorite moment of the entire year was driving in my van with the entire family and this song came on our Summer Mix. By the end of the song all 6 of us were singing along, with a few of my kids finding harmony parts and really just leaning into the whole thing. It was great.
Also, yes, this one was already posted, but half-baked.
Phil Ochs’ heir apparent put out two albums and an EP in 2024. He releases portions of new songs on social media, most recorded in natural settings like this one. This song appeared on the first album, Hells Welles, and I chose it as a nod to one of the low points of 2024 for my family. There are several others I would have considered but for Forbidden Zone content.

Sam & Dave’s live shows were a huge influence on generations of performers. Dave Prater was taken before his time in a car accident back in 1988. Sam Moore passed away on Friday while recovering from surgery. “Hold On, I’m Coming” is my favorite, but somehow we’ve never played “Soul Man” in the New Basement.
All right, friends, time to throw your names into the hat. If you've never volunteered, or it's been awhile, we'd love to have you. Plus, you get to skip to the head of the line!
If you've a preferred time of year, let me know. Spin the black circle, friends.
