Once in a while I come across an album I didn't know yet, and I get slightly obsessed with it for a while. The End of History by
#FionnRegan was one; or Court and Spark by #JoniMitchell; Time (The Revelator) by #GillianWelch; PROTO by #HollyHerndon; So Much for the City by #TheThrills...

And now I have it again with The Way Is Read by #TheStaves / #yMusic. It's always nice when I find an album like this again, something that scratches a musical itch, somehow.

NEW-TO-ME MUSIC ACTS
Mastodon Post

Some of the new-to-me acts I really like are

<> Rachel Croft, a YouTube suggestion that worked out really well
<> Southern Avenue: I heard a track on WRSI and bought it right away
<> The Staves: it seems to me I have bought every Staves release except for one and I'll probably go back for it
<> The Wolff Sisters (with Dick Curless's grandson on drums): a new favorite out of Boston
<> The Hillbilly Moon Explosion when the woman sings. Since this hillbilly outfit is Zurich-based, the vocalist could be singing in a third language.

Twisted Pine has a new album released today titled "Love Your Mind."

https://twisted-pine.bandcamp.com/album/love-your-mind

The featured track, "Goosebump Feeling" is quite good; but the following track, "Chanel Perfume" ft. Ali McGuirk is even better.

I've also gone back to the great Bettye LaVette.

THE STAVES
"WAITING FOR THE JOY"
Mastodon Post

Waiting for the Joy
by The Staves

https://thestaves.bandcamp.com/track/waiting-for-the-joy

This vocal group is new to me in 2024, though Bandcamp does show 2022 releases. It seems to me I have bought every track offered except for maybe one. My best guess is that 2024 offerings are bringing The Staves more airplay here in the United States and a growing following. So far, this has seemed to be a Five Star vocal group.
