Three Songs to Start My Week

Written By Mike Barzacchini

Three new (to me) songs that will be in heavy rotation for me this week:

  1. Simple Gifts by Jesse Welles

  2. Walking Contradiction by Sunny War, featuring Steve Ignorant

  3. MIA by Alexa Lash. And a live version.

Thanks to this week’s All Songs Considered New Music Friday episode for turning me on to #1 and #2 and to The Tony Kornheiser Show for introducing me to Alexa Lash. TK’s podcast continues to showcase new and sometimes renewing artists (like Black Oak Arkansas).

And a bonus song this week, an old, but timeless one, Rowland (Roly) Sally’s Killing the Blues. Roly was name-checked by Joe Pug and Chuck Prophet on Pug’s wonderful podcast The Working Songwriter.

What are you listening to this week?
