I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. I did not. But I'll save that story for the book.
In other news, the Prince estate released official audio for a song called "Silver Tongue," the one and only Prince co-write with Nikka Costa. I guess it has been floating around for some time, as well as having an official appearance on a Nikka Costa record, but I hadn't heard either until a few days ago when ?uestlove posted it on his Instagram page. I think this is pretty damn great, and makes me want to hear a full jazz combo vocal album from the man.
It was yesterday's Song Of The Day, but it's here again in case you missed it.
I had the iPod going a few times this weekend, and really enjoyed the early Wailers take on Jr. Walker's "Shotgun." It's today's Song Of The Day. Give it a listen. It may soften the hardest of hearts.
If you are unaware of the four part Stax documentary running on HBO, I can't recommend it enough. It's big and beautiful and heartbreaking and is filled with amazing music and stories. "STAX: Soulsville, U.S.A." Check it out, if only for Booker T.'s story on how he wrote "Green Onions."
Tomorrow, maybe...my review of one of the best records of the year which is also one of the best records of the artist's career.
Welcome back!
Buy some records!

Its from her 2017 lp, Nikka and Strings. She also does a cover of Nothing Compares 2 U. Great song.
My guess is you're talking about the new Paul Weller album
Gotta be the Paul Weller. It's a really really good album.
Yes! The Stax doc is fantastic. Looking forward to watching the finale.
Thx for the tip on the Stax doc!
Saw the Prince song yesterday. I don't usually listen to SOTD until you wrap them up in a bow on the weekend, but I couldn't resist. A really great recording.
Stax is in the queue. I love these kinds of documentaries.
It's gotta be Paul Weller or William Shatner ;-)
Thanks for the Stax documentary tip. Wasn't aware of it.
Sorry to hear about your lousy holiday. Mine rocked. All tracks you turned us on to are cool. I think all four episodes of the Stax doc are available now. I've only seen the first one so far. Diggin' the Wailers right now for the third time.
