We played this before, but no reason not to do it again (different performance, of course).

I dont recall how I came across this song but a strong guess would be on a show on the Mankato college radio station KMSU. I was instantly hooked and became my most play song released in 2024.
Lou Johnson – (There’s) Always Something There to Remind Me/Kentucky Bluebird
Jesse Welles – Cancer
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.
But I think we can all agree on “Fuck cancer.”
Sam & Dave – Soul Man
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.
