Yesterday I said I had started a 30-day Folk Music Challenge early last week. Well, As a result yesterday was the sixth day of the challenge. Blue River Eric Andersen’s 1972 release.was the album of the day. In this post I’d like to start to catch up and write about the albums I listened to on the first 5 days. Gordon Lightfoot kicked it off!
Morning MusIc from Tinsley Ellis
The other day I was listening to Bluesville on Sirius-XM hoping to find some new blues music. Rather than finding new music I rediscovered an old favorite. Shemekia Copeland was the DJ and she played a track from Tinsley Ellis’s new album Ice Cream in Hell set to be released next month. From his website…

So I made a trip to New Releases Now today and took a quick look at the new albums released today (March 23,2019). Among the albums released are three from artists who are favorites of mine. There are five more that I think I’ll also give a listen.

Wait you listened to the song twice! I thought this album must be very short! But, no the run was really long! The ten track album clocks in at about 40 minutes, at which point, I was still a little way from my finish and was struggling along at about 11 minute per mile pace
I may never be able to catch up writing about the various albums I have been listening to over the last three to four months. So I have decided to make a few playlists that will group the tracks roughly by genre. Here;’s what’s on the first one….
It seems that lately a good portion of the music I listened to is heard on my commutes to Paulsboro to babysit Oliver. Now as best as I can remember Wednesday soundtracks were a blues album Reaching for the Light from the Scottish blues band King King and the afternoon on the afternoon trip a folk album from Canadian folksinger Dave Gunning. The album was Lift his 11th album.
