Americana UK shares new single and video from The Sarandons – “So Long” – calling it “big and anthemic… warm and open-hearted.”

Check out recent single ‘So Long’ from Canadian indie-rockers The Sarandons.  Featuring bursts of great guitar from Craig Keeney, it’s big and anthemic, warm and open-hearted.  The song is driven by a great rhythm section and Damian Coleman’s pulsing bass is particularly effective.  As the song progresses, there’s a lyrical breakthrough, a blossoming optimism about moving on that takes us beyond earlier doubts: “It took me ten years to remember // To realize which side I’m on // But I was right there where ya wanted // All along,” delivered with Dave Suchon’s raw, heartfelt, melodic voice.

Austrian Alps-based Americana songwriter Prinz Grizzley recently recorded dolefully gentle, banjo and acoustic guitar rendition of CCR’s ‘Proud Mary’

”?If someone would’ve told me a year ago that I’d do a cover of a CCR song, I would’ve laughed out loud and called them crazy! I would’ve said that I’d never, ever dare to do a cover of a CCR song and particularly not ?’?Proud Mary!?’? Because of two things, first, nobody, I mean really nobody, sings these songs better than John Fogerty! Second, John Fogerty´s music has been with me as long as I can remember. It kind of became the holy grail for me. These songs are not to be messed around with or changed. For example, I never liked the Tina Turner version, although I know it’s a killer one. I know I broke my own rule, but with this version of mine, I think this exception is acceptable, at least for me!?”? Prinz GrizzleY.

These songs of finding hope, revenge and eventually serenity will make you look for your own secluded mountain town to settle down in, get drinks with friends and maybe even start a family.

Lauren Scott-Phillips’ new single “Handsome Woman” featured at B-Sides & Badlands

Songs of the Week: Water Weight, Estella Dawn & more. The latest round-up goes hard into Americana and indie-folk.

Lauren Scott-Phillips – “Handsome Woman”

Love songs typically fall into an overly sentimental trap, sticky with little actual substance. Fortunately, Lauren Scott-Phillips‘ “Handsome Woman” is a threadbare dedication to her wife, pulling the listener close and allowing for a glimpse into their undying love. “Everyday and night, I’ll be your handsome woman” is a stunning refrain, woven over acoustic guitar.
