A YEAR of #NewMusicMondays
January-March • April-May • June • July-August • September • October • November • My Favorites of 2020
In March, I started a new and reoccurring blog series that I call #NewMusicMonday. I plan to highlight new music releases hopefully during a current one, two, or thee month stretch throughout the year. This installment is for April-May, but it's really impossible for me to find and capture on a playlist every song released at a particular month.
So this month, you will see some of my new favs I found dating back to January that I missed in my January-March installment. I may also throw in an old song that's been recently recorded. For example, I have several #StayAtHome videos of Jimmy Fallon and James Taylor songs that I think you will enjoy. I may also throw in a song or two I haven't heard before. Paul Hobbs sent me a 2019 Keb' Mo'/Taj Mahal song plus several new releases, and I added a 2019 video from Rosie Flores who played the San Diego club circuit in the 1970's with Rosie and the Screamers, and rekindled some fond memories.

For this week's playlist I have 69 songs. For me, one album stands out above the rest, James Elkington's
Ever-Roving Eye.
Ever-Roving Eye.
An epiphany… a cryptic storyteller and dazzling acoustic guitarist. – Rolling Stone
Elkington stands apart among the wave of 21st century guitar soloists. Beautiful, complex, and assured.
