New songs for April 22nd, 2024

 here they are:


"All the Ways" by The Secret Sisters (featuring Ray LaMontagne):  The Secret Sisters and Ray LaMontagne are both pretty popular among alt-country fans. Their first collaboration together does retain some of their country-rock roots, but mostly, it's a soulful, intimate ballad. It's a love song, pure and simple, but it's done in such a way that it draws you into its warm and tender ways!

"April" by Local Natives:  As if by coincidence, our next song is the same as the month it was released in! "April," in this case, though, is not the month, but the name of a person. In this psychedelic electro-rock number, Local Natives sing of what appears to be their latest romance, though the lyrics tend to be a bit on the abstract side, as one might expect with a group like them.

"Heartless" by Nathaniel Rateliff and The Night Sweats:  Perhaps the only song on this week's list that is more heartbreaking than it is romantic, "Heartless" by Nathaniel Rateliff and The Night Sweats is a powerful song nonetheless!! A country-rock song punctuated by bright bursts of brass, "Heartless" is a poignant song that tells of the heartache Nathaniel felt when he left his childhood home. I love how much music can heal a heavy heart like it does here!
