Episode 148: Drift Mouth, Rowan Simmons, The January Lanterns, Scott Cook, Odetta Holmes, Adeem the Artist, Kingdom Jasmine, Elli Perry, George Shingleton, Jan Van Gold, Hillfolk, Terry Blade, Anthony Barfield

Rachel still has Thanksgiving brain, but put together all the best in Americana, country, folk, and...classical music? Album of the Week: Adeem the Artist -- Forgotten Songs and American Dreams    Adeem is a fellow contributor at Country Queer, but even if I didn’t know him to be a gentleperson and a scholar, I’d fall in love with his music. Funny, touching, urbane, and profound, when Adeem describes himself as “toiling” in his songwriting, you can believe it. Every word is perfectly place, and every line shows us the three-dimensional workings of a human soul. Adeem deftly switches up styles throughout this song in particular, doing whatever it takes to follow the song where it leads him.   This week’s episode is sponsored by WYLD.gallery.
