Marc Broussard - HOME

Marc Broussard - HOME

 

Going back to 2004 and a soulful southern song - Home by Marc Broussard. If you like a gritty soulful voice then this is a must listen.  

He is another Louisiana artist and his style is often referred to as bayou soul.  He did an album a couple of years ago covering some soul classics from the 50's and 60's called Save our Soul that also worth a listen.  Especially his cover of Solomon Burke's - Cry to Me. The original was featured on the Dirty Dancing soundtrack.. but don't hold that against a great song.

Home is from from the album Carencro in 2004. Carencro is a town in Louisiana where Marc Broussard is from, so one would imagine the inspiration for this song

Chris Rodriques and the Abby the Spoon Lady - ANGELS IN HEAVEN

Someone (and I really wish I could remember who) send me this link a while ago.  

Abby the spoon lady started as a hobo. She travelled the US hitching rides on freight trains and seeing the country.  She taught herself the spoons so she could busk and make a little money.  She made it into a couple of documentaries and continues to advocate for buskers and free speech.  She has a number of videos online here and there but this is one of my favorites...

It's a little different but I hope you enjoy
