“Bend in the Road” by Jesse and Noah
Another great one from the Driven Back album. Such great songs, such great harmonies.
“Sailor’s Song” by Brian Carpenter and the Confessions
Brian Carpenter is from Boston. The new album from Brian Carpenter and the Confessions is due out in October. The pitch name dropped not only Nick Cave but Wim Wenders and David Lynch as well… needless to say this film buff was intrigued. This song (the last on the album) is my first listen, and I really like what I’m hearing. Expect more from me about this album.
“Midnight Wave” by Two Wounded Birds
Two Wounded Birds were an English band that formed in 2010 and disbanded in 2012. This song was a single released in 2011.
“Last I Heard” by Charlie Whitten
Charlie Whitten is a Nashville based singer-songwriter, this song is from a Noisetrade Sampler called An Assortment. Man I like this guys music a bunch.
“Forked River Roadside Shrine” by Ben Arthur
Another cut from Ben Arthur’s Call and Response album of “Answer Songs”. This one is one of two responses to Joyce Carol Oates short stories in the collection.

The End Men’s Matthew Hendershot is also involved in both series.
“Gentle on My Mind” by John Hartford
