NEW ENTRY: God's Gracious Gift


Apparently, this is my 600th post on this blog. I don't normally take note of such things, but I stumbled across that fact while trying to decide what to write about tonight. Someone new, I think, never before featured here...

Juanita Stein - Someone Else's Dime

Juanita is usually the lead singer of Aussie indie band The Howling Bells, but her new solo album is about as far from indie - an Australia - as you can get. Instead, it's drenched in Americana, part Dusty In Memphis, part First Aid Kit (yes, I know neither of those artists are particularly American either - but the great thing is, you don't have to be from the States to define Americana).

It's quite a lovely record, anyway, and this is one of the stand-out tracks. It'll do till the new First Aid Kit record comes out, anyway... because apparently we have to wait till 2018 for that.

(Oh, and if you're wondering about the title of his post: apparently that's what Juanita means in Spanish.)
