#244: Mary Chapin Carpenter, “The Dirt and the Stars”

Bolachas Now Playing, a new music Spotify playlist, updated every Wednesday. 

It’s been a while since Mary Chapin Carpenter was topping charts and earning Grammies while on a major label, but her songs – the rootsy, the country, and the folky ones – have never sounded wiser and personal than they do now. Plus: new tracks by the one and only Chico da TinaMelt Yourself DownMoor X JewelryIdris Ackamoor & The PyramidsThe Budos BandJaga JazzistKamaal WilliamsLianne La HavasKate BollingerYellow DaysTim HeideckerHelvetia, Dehd, Daniel Blumberg, Jason Ogden (of Penny Blacks), Jason Molina MusicSarah DavachiShirley CollinsGarcia Peoplesthe Mountain GoatsJenny O.WIDOWSPEAKDawes, and Shabason, Krgovich & Harris.

#29: Daniel Romano, “If I’ve Got Only One Time Askin'”

The long awaited Daniel Romano new record, If I’ve Got Only One Time Askin’ is out now. There are three songs off it on our new weekly playlist and there will probably be more in the weeks to come. Such a fantastic album. There are also new songs by Prince, Lianne La Havas, OughtNathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Low, Watkins Family Hour, Richard Hawley, and songs off three Paradise of Bachelors (probably our favorite record label right now) new and future releases: David Morris & Red River Dialect, Promised Land Sound, and Gun Outfit. This is one hell of a collection of songs. Listen to it below.

#17: Giant Sand, “Heartbreak Pass”

In this week’s playlist we focus on the new Giant Sand album, Heartbreak Pass. Here’s to more 30 years of Howe Gelb writing better songs than you! One of the acts to check on this years’ NOS Primavera Sound in about a month. Be sure to check Twerps as well – we’ll let you know when the festival’s timetable is available! I wish I could say My Morning Jacket would be there too… Their new record is amazing. What a time to be alive.
