Happy first Friday of November! Let\u2019s kick off a month of new music round-ups with our first edition of our usual weekly collection for November.<\/p>\n
To begin, banjoist Gena Britt \u2013 who you may know from Sister Sadie \u2013 releases her brand new solo album, Streets, Rivers, Dreams & Heartaches<\/em> today. We\u2019re sharing \u201cWhat Kind of Memory Will You Be\u201d off the new project to celebrate its launch. It\u2019s one of Britts\u2019 favorite tracks from the album. Her Sister Sadie bandmate, fiddler Deanie Richardson, is also included in our round-up today, joining fellow fiddler Kimber Ludiker (of Della Mae) on a twin fiddle rendition of a rip-roaring original instrumental, \u201cNo-See-Um Stomp.\u201d It\u2019ll have you dancing and smacking the hell out of some sandflies, too.<\/p>\n Singer-songwriter and guitarist Sammy Brue previews his upcoming album that pays tribute to one of his creative heroes, Justin Townes Earle, by crafting songs from inhabiting and being inspired by Earle\u2019s journals. Brue wrote \u201cLonely Mornings\u201d based on snippets of unrecorded lyrics in Earle\u2019s journals, before Earle\u2019s own recording of \u201cLonely Mornings\u201d was released on\u00a0ALL IN<\/em> last year. The tunes stem from the same source, and feel connected, but show the intricate ways a single origin point can grow into two distinct songs. Watch the video for Brue\u2019s \u201cLonely Mornings\u201d below.<\/p>\n Our Missouri bluegrass pals the HillBenders bring us a brand new music video for their most recent single, a rock and roll and disco-infused string band version of Ola Belle Reed\u2019s classic, \u201cI\u2019ve Endured.\u201d The band leans into their genre-blending tendencies and highlight a couple of new members in the new studio music video, too. Plus, Americana-folk singer-songwriter Brendan Walter launches his new album, Disappearing Days<\/em>, today and we\u2019re sharing a new music video for his song \u201cPipe Dream.\u201d Contemplating the realities and trials of building a career in the music industry, \u201cPipe Dream\u201d and the album together demonstrate Walter\u2019s goals in music are anything but far-fetched.<\/p>\n Make sure to check out a new single from guitarist-writer-archivist Cameron Knowler, as well, who covers Elizabeth Cotten\u2019s \u201cWilson Rag\u201d in a simple, pared-down arrangement featuring acoustic guitar, pedal steel, and kick drum. Knowler tweaks Cotten\u2019s original arrangement slightly, continuing the age old tradition of musical transfer and cross-pollination in bluegrass, old-time, and beyond.<\/p>\n It\u2019s quite a nice round-up to get the month rolling, isn\u2019t it? Check it out for yourself below, \u2019cause You Gotta Hear This.<\/p>\n Gena Britt, \u201cWhat Kind of Memory Will You Be\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
