Reveries for the laziest day of the week

Lauded New Orleans born folk songstress MARY GAUTHIER (64 now) has a rich past, writing/recording/releasing her deeply felt songs since 1990. Many artists such as Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, Kathy Mattea, Vince Gill, Bettye Lavette, Candi Staton, and Amy
Helm have covered songs of her.

She just released her new full-length, named RECKONING, her first in 8 years.

TUTV: Gauthier‘s riveting Americana voice gets all your aural attention throughout this
new, stirring acoustic folk album. Gauthier sings about people’s loneliness caused by addiction to alcohol and drugs. About the struggle for love and justice in a world where religious people often pervert Jesus’ message of love for others. About the Kennedys,
MLK, Obama, and today’s dark political turmoil.

About individuals eager to follow orders, whether it’s crucifying Jesus or shooting
Rene Good in cold blood on a Minneapolis street. About anything/anybody that puzzles Gauthier and impacts her views on humanity. No, these aren’t happy songs whatsoever,
but they stick, like real life sticks. In the end, Gauthier hopes for salvation, something,
I guess we all do.

Fitting candlelight music for soulful and moony Sunday evenings

Posted on by JL

Reveries for the laziest day of the week

20 September 2026

Artist: KATIE PRUITT
Who: American singer-songwriter
based in Nashville, Tennessee.

She just released her 3rd album, baptized FOOLS FOR THE FLEETING.

The record is a deeply personal meditation on the ebbs and flows of today’s cultural climate. Drawing from her own experiences and perspective, Pruitt’s raw, unflinching delivery, very cuts through the noise with a vulnerability. On Fools For The Fleeting, she delivers her most expansive and resonant work yet, an album that embraces impermanence while searching for meaning within it.

Candid, endearing, and refreshing.

PEAKK – DIY Singer Songwriter Moves With New Reflection ‘WON’T LET ME GO’

Posted on by JL

Reveries for the laziest day of the week

6 September 2026

Artist: PEAKK
Who: The moniker of a DIY
singer-songwriter named Devin.

Track: WON’T LET ME GO

TUTV: I don’t know much, but enough to listen, to this musician. He mailed me some songs that sit “somewhere between indie rock, alternative and indie folk, with influences ranging from
Bon Iver and The Neighborhood to The 1975 and David Kushner.” and who writes songs as he quotes for the almosts, the maybes & the memories.

Won’t Let Me Go is the musing that caught my ears’ attention. Its darkish acoustic tone, reflective moodiness, and melancholic vocals got me in a self-rumintive headspace.

Let’s have the music do the talking.

Enjoy.

Posted on by JL

Reveries for the laziest of the week

30 August 2026

Band: LAMBCHOP
Who: Nashville‘s crooner, balladeer and
troubadour Kurt Wagner‘s collective.

Originally named Posterchild, the band started their career 40 years ago,
in 1986. With PUNCH THE CLOWN, Wagner & Co just released their 17th LP.


Album artwork

Pitchfork:“Kurt Wagner reinvents his band yet again, this time slimming down to a bare-bones acoustic setup and stripping away the studio artifice. But his storytelling remains as expansive as ever. While Punching the Clown is the most mysterious and disquieting album in Lambchop’s discography, there’s a triumph in it also being their most emotionally direct.”

Sit down, make yourself comfortable
and enjoy the sound of silence.

“I do not take freedom lightly, because our freedom has
been paid for in the lives of others throughout history,”

9 August 2026

Artist: BRANDON FLOWERS
Who: The charismatic Californian
frontman of The Killers

Track: TIGER’S BLOOD
Newest single from his 3rd solo album,
named Thrasher, out on August 21st.

The LP is recorded in Nashville, the mecca of country music, with some renowned
country musicians. Rooted in his formative childhood years in the small town of Nephi, Utah, the timeless sonic approach proves to be the ideal home for Flowers’ most personal and vulnerable songwriting yet.

TUTV: An avid Springsteen-esque flow and Flowers’ distinctive
romantic touch induces melancholic sentimentality.

“Last thing that I heard/ You were doing okay. I still smile when I remember us in younger days/ The things that we can’t explain/ Roll on like a runaway train/ Into the fire and out of the frame/ Wild and gone like a runaway train.”
