Pioneering Southern rock troubadours Little Feat have announced the May 9 release of their forthcoming studio LP, Strike Up The Band. As a preview of the set, the band has shared their initial single, "Too High To Cut My Hair," and the official music video, featuring the theatrics of Lily Winwood playing the role of stoned hairdresser to each member of the band that visits her.
"Too High To Cut My Hair," presents the ensemble's funk capability with the siphoned blues-fueled cadence of Sam Clayton's classic low C to create a roaring introduction to the band's latest project. The track was written by longtime member, Fred Tackett, who had a large part in crafting lines and lyrics across the album. "Fred Tackett shines all over this record, as he always does, but in particular in his writing," bandleader Bill Payne reaffirmed. Payne explains the backstory behind the single via press release: "'Too High To Cut My Hair' is based on a true story where [Tackett] and his wife Patricia were in a hotel room in New Orleans. Fred had asked for a trim, but decided that she was too high to cut his hair. And then he thought, 'oh my god, what a title!'"He continues, "People love the humor in our records, a cherished entree to those when they find it. So I'm happy this song displays that humor, and in full. It's also got the classic Sam Clayton doing his, three octaves below middle C voice in there - Too High To Cut My Hair! Everyone that has heard it has said, 'That's a Little Feat song,' and I know what they mean!"
Little Feat sprinkles the collective wisdom of a 56-year-old band across the 13-track record, granting listeners access to their collective prowess and sonic dexterity on songs like "Bluegrass Pines (Ft. Molly Tuttle, Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams), ""4 Days Of Heaven, 3 Days Of Work," "Shipwrecks" and "Midnight Flight." "'Strike Up The Band' really began in the winter of 2019 when I was subbing for Paul Barrere, and he passed away on the day of that first show," says Scott Sharrard, "Continuing through the pandemic shut down (and a lot of practicing and songwriting during that time), to our return to the road in 2021. Then on to our recording field trip to Memphis that resulted in the Grammy Nominated blues album of classic blues covers 'Sam's Place.' That one gave us all the chance to tighten up as a band and re-visit the Rosetta Stone of rock and roll, the blues. We have paid a lot of dues to get here, and all roads have led us to this new album." "When discussing the album with the band and where it sits in our canon," Payne adds. "Our predecessor to this record in my mind was 'Let It Roll.' We are in a similar position to introduce Little Feat once again with this new collection of songs. It is my feeling that, from what we had been playing over the last few years, there's no question the overwhelming majority of fans would accept the album for what it is: an unmistakable iteration of Little Feat that highlights, with great songs and musicianship, the very best of an ongoing legacy, expressly evoking and expanding upon what people think of when they hear Little Feat."

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…

Is bickering part of the normal routine of family life?  Plus…why do creative people get laughed at?  

I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  
I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  
Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  
When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  
This is the Daily Mess…

TOM CLANCY LINE OF DEMARCATION starts with the destruction of a US Coast Guard cutter and the loss of her entire crew. But the USCG Claiborne was on an innocuous mission to open a sea lane between an oil field off the coast of South America and the refineries of southern Louisiana. The destruction of the ship—tragic as it is—won't stop that mission from continuing.  So, who would sacrifice twenty-two men and women just to slow down the plan? That's the question plaguing Jack, who is in Guyana working on a deal to get his company, Hendley Associates, in on the ground floor of this new discovery.  But Russia’s Wagner Group and a pack of Venezuelan narco-terrorists have other ideas—and will risk war with the United States to see them through. It's up to Jack to identify the killers before they draw a bead on him . . . but how can he do that when the line of demarcation between friend and foe is constantly shifting?

Two-time GRAMMY winner Gloria Gaynor has released the new single "Fida Known", an empowered reflection on a past relationship that serves as a showcase for Gaynor's showstopping voice and effortless vocal charisma. Co-written by Gaynor in Nashville alongside GRAMMY-winning songwriters Chris Stevens and Michael Pollack (Miley Cyrus, Maroon 5), "Fida Known" is Gaynor's first new solo single since the release of 2019's GRAMMY-winning LP 'Testimony', and an emphatic declaration of the power of hindsight when overcoming adversity.
Over pulsing handclaps and synth keyboard stabs, Gaynor opens the track by acknowledging her infatuation with a past lover: "You were drivin' me crazy / The kind of crazy that made me see stars". Her declaration of love then gives way to a wiser Gaynor, who laments her shortsightedness in an instant-classic hook: "Fida known that you never / Woulda loved me forever / I'da found someone better / Who could hold me tight." The track is a return to her recognizable disco sound after the breathtaking rootsy gospel of 'Testimony,' and the production of Matt Bronleewe immerses Gaynor's voice in a funky mid-tempo groove that's tailor made for the dance floor or driving with the top down.
"Fida Known" is the first taste of Gaynor's 'Happy Tears' EP, an empowering groove-filled journey that sees her working with up-and-coming songwriters Sam Tinnesz (Kygo, Fitz and the Tantrums), Caitlyn Smith (Miley Cyrus, Meghan Trainor), and Liz Rose (Taylor Swift). The EP is a continuation of Gaynor's new chapter that began with 2019's 'Testimony' and was followed by a collaboration with Kylie Minogue ("Can't Stop Writing Songs About You") in 2022. "Happy Tears"

Joey Guerrero, a native of the Philippines, was diagnosed with leprosy (Hansen’s disease) as World War II unfolded in Europe and Asia. Soon after the Japanese occupied the Philippines, Joey—believing she would die soon—joined the guerrilla movement to complete covert missions in support of the Allies. Because of her condition, she was rarely searched by Japanese soldiers, which allowed her to courier secret messages, including an invaluable minefield map that she taped to her back. She was eventually awarded the US Presidential Medal of Freedom and admitted to the National Leprosarium in Carville, Louisiana, where she lived for nine years. When she was cured and released, she found it difficult to find work because of racial discrimination and her health history and was forced to pawn her Presidential Medal to make ends meet. Eventually, she shed her previous identity. When she died in 1996, her obituary identified her as a secretary from Manila. But Joey Guerrero was much more than that—she was a hero who changed the course of history.
