It is of Margo Price's newest album, Hard Headed Woman. 

New Single from The Womack Sisters "I Just Don't Want You (To Say Goodbye)"

The Los Angeles, CA based outfit The Womack Sisters have a new single out on Daptone Records,  "I Just Don't Want You (To Say Goodbye)".

Daptone rarely disappoints and The Womack Sisters deliver some retro soul goodness on this track. 

Live Review: The Who - 8/30/25 Madison Square Garden, NYC

The Who 

8/30/25 Madison Square Garden NYC

On a pleasant summer Saturday Night in New York City, rock and roll legends The Who played Madison Square Garden on their supposed farewell tour titled The Song Is Over. Before the band started up Pete Towshend stated that The Who had played MSG 36 times and that this would "probably" be the last time, so the door is still open to a return. 

Dylan Cover #696 "Union Sundown" Live August 12th 2010

In this ongoing Monday Series we will be exploring various artists versions of Bob Dylan song's. Today's tune is a live cover by Alternate Infidels playing "Union Sundown"

Thoughts on Original:
From what has become an annual tradition here and here:
Wanted to pick this one for Labor Day as it is Dylan's take on the lack of US manufacturing jobs as well as the increasing flux of capitalism in society and the death of unions. The idea of greed taking over is nothing new, but this song seems to come from an impulsive Dylan (a lot do) and shows up on Infidel's of which Dylan has commented something along the lines of "Those songs stuck around too long".  

Ideas seem to be a bit jumbled on this disk, but not on this tune, his lament at no good paying jobs for American workers is clear, but he isn't passing the buck. It is all of HIS products that are foreign made, this isn't a plea for change as a younger Dylan might have done; it is a simple statement of fact...and a sad one at that.  

Having grown up in a extremely pro-Labor house hold, I just wanted to point this tune out and the fact that Dylan wrote it over 40 years ago, and things have only gotten worse... Happy Labor Day....

Thoughts on Cover Artist:

Well this one is a mystery.  It was posted fifteen years ago to account that just has two other videos posted (another Dylan cover from the same show). All the info I got is: TRIBUTE TO BOB DYLAN 12 augusti 2010 i Vasa, Finland. 

If anyone has any more post it in the comments and I will update this post. 

Thoughts on Cover:

Normally I would skip posting this without knowing who the artists are, but this is a ripping live cover of "Union Sundown". One of the better versions of this song RtBE has heard. Stomping drums, great organ, smoking slide guitar and excellent vocals from this cover band. Great stuff!
