Friday FIVE: January 30 - Songs for Slower Days


Listen Later

In this episode, I share a handful of musical recommendations centered around Joshua Lee Turner and Carson McKee, musicians I first discovered during the early weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic. Beginning with their delightful banjo and guitar cover of ABBA’s “Mamma Mia,” I reflect on what drew me to their work and to collaborations with Tony Lindgren and Elle Cordova, including memorable covers of “Stuck in the Middle with You,” Bob Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right,” Paul Simon’s “Baby Driver,” and Peter Gabriel’s “Solsbury Hill.” As the pace of life has slowed again in recent days with Winter Storm Fern, this episode simply offers a few sounds worth revisiting and enjoying at an unhurried pace.

The Friday FIVE is a weekly five-minute podcast series from Musically Speaking that features music commentary, examples, and recommendations from Jarrod Richey.
