Today Darrell Scott—one of my favorite songwriters—released a new album titled Long Ride Home. The first clip below is the only song from the album I can find a video for, but I have included a couple other songs from previous albums.
"No Use Living For Today"
"A Father"s Song"
"My Father's House"
"It's A Great Day To Be Alive" - A great version of my favorite Darrell Scott song.

Trixie Whitley/Daniel Lanois
Trixie Whitley performs a Tiny Desk concert with Daniel Lanois. Lanois produced Emmylou Harris' Wrecking Ball album, and I think it is him performing with Emmylou in this video I posted last year.

I posted this video early last year, but to mark Martin Luther King's Birthday here is Mavis Staples talking about him.
Here is another video from last year's Bonnaroo Festival, Mavis Staples perform "Freedom Highway".
Here is the original recording of "Freedom Highway" from over 45 years ago—Mavis singing and Pops on guitar.

This song was made popular by Koko Taylor's 1960's recording of it. Here is a clip of Taylor performing it about 20 years ago. Buddy Guy also plays guitar on this version.
