"How can I bring the blues of the past into the future?" This is the question guitarist, songwriter, and vocalist Carl “Buffalo” Nichols is trying to answer by putting more Black stories into the genres of folk and blues. “Listening to this record, I want more Black people to hear themselves in this music that is truly theirs.” And thus we have "Living Hell"...

You'll recognize the opening line of this song, but the rest is all original. This Canadian has been working hard for over 20 years, mostly as a solo artist: "always the opening act, never the headliner." Although his music was used in the film "The Big Year" (starring Jack Black, Steve Martin, and Owen Wilson -- great flick, BTW), he's been pretty much flying under the radar. Jeremy Fisher, "Let It Shine".

Quite the rise from the ashes. Russell's single, teenage mother struggled with postpartum depression and schizophrenia, and Russell was initially placed in foster care. Her mother regained custody of her after getting married. From the ages of 5 to 15, Russell was physically and sexually abused by her adoptive father. At the age of 15, Russell ran away from home." This song reflects that time.

Another one from the other side of the pond. As two sets of two brothers, the Sherlocks started getting airplay in 2015 and released two albums by 2019. But with COVID lockdown, one brother set decided to exit the music scene. They were replaced, and with the fresh energy of new blood, the band's third studio album will be released this month. Here's one of the singles.

The Shambolics are a four-piece act formed in Scotland in late 2015, but have already been named best rock or alternative act at the 2017 Scottish Alternative Music Awards and have since gone on to play at some of the UK’s biggest festivals. Say the lads, "The song is pretty much about not caring what people think or say about you. The chorus lyrics are a little nod to the g.o.a.t Muhammad Ali. We took inspiration from a rhyme he would use on the build-up to his fight against Joe Frazier." Snappy tune, and ya gotta love that Bay City Rollers throwback. 😁

Born in New York, descended from an international lineage of artists, raised by bohemian parents traveling across the U.S. and Mexico--- that's bound to present some interesting influences. She made the most of that during her short life, releasing 3 studio albums and a memoir. This song sounds like something an 8-year-old would make, stretching the plain words to fit the tune, matched or not, and the sparse, dirty instrumentation suits that simplicity.

Ural Thomas became a professional singer in the 1950s as a young man, with over forty performances at the Apollo Theater. He worked with or opened for musicians such as Etta James, Otis Redding, James Brown, and Stevie Wonder. In the early 2010s, Thomas and Scott Magee, a Portland-based soul DJ, created "Ural Thomas and the Pain", an eight-piece backing band for Thomas's vocals. The group has released two full length albums: 2016's self-titled release, and 2018's "The Right Time". This one is smooth and slow.

Ane Brun is a Norwegian songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist. She's not an unknown, having put out eight studio albums, but her music is so interesting it should be shared often. Most is quite mellow and delicate, but I couldn't resist the infectious beat of this one. (One commenter states First Aid Kit is singing backup.)

It's October--- time for something scary...

Diamanda Galás is an American singer who has been described as "capable of the most unnerving vocal terror." Her writing and performances largely concentrate on the topics of AIDS. This piece, "Cris d'aveugle" (Blind Man's Cry), is part of her Masque of the Red Death trilogy.

This won't be to everyone's taste, for sure, but it's perfect for playing in the background while the kiddies are trick or treating! 😈 ☠️ 🎃
