Celebrating witches most likely.
You can’t let the Musical-Industrial Complex tell you what’s good and what’s not.
Go to Bandcamp, an independent music portal where (generally) unsigned bands can post their music for listening, and purchase.
For those of you who still believe in capitalism, don't like to be told what is good music, and who believe that music isn't a free good and should be purchased, check it out.
To get you started, here is a curated list of EWF-like new bands.
Stand up for Love by The Haggis Horns, released 2020.
Chamelonious Monk by Organ Fairchild, released 2023.
Hot Sauce by BossMagnet, released 2018.
Puzzled by JJ Whitefield, released 2023.
A side note about contemporary “black” music: someone I know who’s active in music, said the reason why so much hip-hop etc is antithetical to life, liberty, harmony, and property, is because it’s being pushed by - you guessed it - lily white affluent liberal music execs. True, you can’t have supply without demand, but if actual organic “black” music got out, the leftists could not keep everyone at war.
Thanks much!
Cut my teeth on Hendrix, Cream, John McLaughlin, Yes, Gentle Giant, Dixie Dreggs, Larry Coryell, Jethro Tull, etc. Amazing creativity.
I’ll give them all a listen. Much obliged.
Yes! Have seen them. So good!

I want to see the USC-UCLA game. USC won 76-0.
That’s some good stuff right there.
As a lifelong musician that’s the kind of stuff I most like to play on guitar or bass these days.
Absolutely with you.
Ever notice you never see any obits of young Black men that have been murdered read “aspiring soul singer or aspiring adult contemporary artist” ?
Yes indeed. But Saturday Night Live was actually funny and we had John Belushi.
I agree whole-heartedly - “outstanding” may not be a good enough descriptor... My wife and I saw them live a few years ago. Good as ever. What a concert!
I’m glad you liked it.
There is tons of outstanding material in Bandcamp. There’s also junk. But that’s ok - the front end let’s you search, listen, and buy what YOU want.
That how the market works.
People also need to get out, spend $10 to see a few unsigned acts, and let the market work. I’ve seen some really exciting kidz playing interesting new sounds and deliver high-energy shows. But it only works if I leave the couch.
“It’s shame the great ones grow old.”
Yeah, I feel my youth dying every time I read about one of the Old School passing away.
But sometimes someone gives the older generation a second chance.
Columbia fired Johnny Cash in 1986. Rick Rubin of all people convinced Cash to record whatever he wanted. Cash had some of his songs that hadn’t been recorded and he wanted to do some covers.
On his last album he covered an industrial rock song by Nine Inch Nails called Hurt that had been a hit for NIN.
When Trent Reznor, who wrote and sang the song, heard it he said “It isn’t my song anymore, it belongs to Cash.”
Two weeks after that album was released June Carter Cash passed away. John followed her eight months later. But he got to see his last album go gold.
One of my all time favorite songs.
I went last summer, and they were still amazing. I know it wasn’t all of the original crew, but still, there were some of them there, and they were AWESOME!
Yes, I’ve noticed that.
All the black singers are rappers now.
They’re not doing the R&B and soul stuff anymore.
Fantasy is also a great song. I also like Shining Star.
Damn shame. Rap and hip hop is such disgusting garbage.
