Writing about rock and roll contenders over at Substack. What's the motivation behind rock and roll? And what's authentic? My eighth entry is JD McPherson and "Wolf Teeth."

One thing to love about the modern world is expediency. I wrote and recorded "Explain" this Thursday evening, all within a few hours. Today it's already available on Spotify. Lots of influences at work here, and I'm proud of the harmonies. Derringer Discoveries https://open.spotify.com/track/6eXVSaBe6sPcawcro1LsWT?si=aa5b886433cf489c

Cooking things up at Bandcamp for Mother's Day weekend. Song number two goes up today and imagines Neil Armstrong on his way back from the moon in 1969. Are you listening, NASA?
