Adobe And Teardrops Podcast

Well, this is it: the very, very, last episode of Adobe & Teardrops. It's been a great 5-year run, but fear not! The blog will continue.

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)
