This Land Is Your Land
from Naturally by Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings
[Daptone Records]

https://sharonjonesandthedapkings.bandcamp.com/track/this-land-is-your-land

Woody Guthrie really didn't like the song, "God Bless America." So, he wrote verses of his own with at least a working title of "God Bless America for Me."

This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York island
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
God bless America for me

Sharon Jones took verses from that early creation and worked them into "This Land Is Your Land" in its most commonly known form, resulting in this excellent version of the song.

"Here I Am, Baby" is a fine cut from the excellent album of interpretations and covers, "Just Dropped In To See What Condition My Rendition Was In" by Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings.

"SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED, I'M YOURS"

Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours
from Just Dropped In To See What Condition My Rendition Was In by Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings

https://sharonjonesandthedapkings.bandcamp.com/track/signed-sealed-delivered-im-yours

Sharon Jones said that, in earlier days, when she approached record labels, hoping to get signed, they said she was

Too short, too fat
Too old, too black

Thorough. Jones solved the problem by making herself into a rock star anyway.

From a great Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings covers/interpretations album, "Signed Sealed Delivered" easily earns its Five Stars. This is one of her best.

JOSH RITTER

I’ve realized that a necessary part of working on records is finding the material that hangs together. I write A LOT of songs, and not all of them play nicely with the others. The most useful (and fun) way to find a song’s heart is to periodically play some shows where I’m able to get it all out there and see how I feel about them.

Source: - "Hey Massachusetts!" October 3, 2023.

Josh Ritter gets decent airplay on my main radio stations, WFUV in New York City and our local superstation, WRSI with studios in Northampton, Massachusetts. He continues to sound great. On at least one of the current records he duets with Aoife O'Donovan.

Happy Holidays! Here’s a jam based on John Carpenter’s Halloween theme! I sampled the theme, and added some synths/drums, all on my Synthstrom Deluge. Korg KP3+ for live effects, and the 1010music bluebox as Mixer/Recorder.
