Episode 183 -- Empowering Black Women w/ Lilli Lewis, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Songs of Our Native Daughters, Toshi Reagon, Roberta Lea, Ruthie Foster, Crys Matthews, Nina Simone

Welcome back, Teardrops! Feels good to have you all here. Adobe & Teardrops will now be a bi-monthly (every 2 weeks) podcast, and I'm so honored to have Lilli Lewis with me to re-inaugurate the show. Lewis is a veteran of the New Orleans music world and her new album, Americana, draws a line in the sand for anyone who think Black artists don't belong in Americana music. We discuss whether or not genres even need to matter, anyway, and we spin a list of empowering songs by Black women.

  1. Lilli Lewis - "A Healing Inside" (Americana)
  2. Sweet Honey in the Rock - Sitting On Top of the World (B'lieve I'll Run On...See What the End's Gonna Be)
  3. Songs of Our Native Daughters -- "Music and Joy" (Songs Of Our Native Daughters)
  4. Toshi Reagon - Mountain Top (Toshi)
  5. Roberta Lea -- "Sunshine" (Single)
  6. Ruthie Foster - Death Came A-Knockin (Travelin' Shoes)
  7. Crys Matthews -- "Hope Revolution" (Changemakers)
  8. Nina Simone - Sinnerman (Nina at the Village Gate)
