When I don't have a song in mind, or cannot wrap my head around selecting one, I just do 'shuffle' and pick the 10th song that comes up..........assuming I have not already posted that one.
Should I, then, like Nigel Tufnel, I just go to 11.
Today I landed on the group Cry Cry Cry and their cover of Ron Sexsmith's "Speaking with the Angel".
Cry Cry Cry, whom I know I've posted before, are a collaboration of three folk artists - Dar Williams (who I discovered decades ago from NPR), Lucy Kapalansky (who came to me via Shawn Colvin) and Richard Shindell (who was completely unfamiliar to me at this time).
Music publications would call this a 'supergroup'. In various folk circles, perhaps. But that's about it. It's a tough one to call it a supergroup when 99.99999% of the population hasn't heard of any - let alone all - of the three musicians.
Cry x3 had one album, 24 years ago. It's a very good disk. It's folk-ish music, with a bunch of acoustic instruments and three part harmony, so you kind of have to like that stuff. I just happen to.
I don't know the logistics of why no follow-up disks. They reunited and toured briefly in 2017 and 2018, but no new music.
