"Decent Man" by Lawrence Rothman
Song: Decent Man (ft. Lucinda Williams)
Artist: Lawrence Rothman
Album: Good Morning, America (2021)
Also try: THe National, Nick Cave, Lou Reed
Lyrics that resound:: 🎶Are there any decent men left?🎶
Commentary: Just discovered Lawrence Rothman and I dig. I'm only one rep into Good Morning, America and I can't wait to hear their latest country album, The Plow That Broke the Plains. This song gave some the National vibes and I def love Lucinda. Lawrence Rothman seems like an interesting gender-fluid person who doesn't seem to have gotten a particularly early start in music.

Song: Elle M'a Oublie (She Has Forgotten Me)
Artist: Joseph Falcón with Cléoma & Orphy Breaux
Album: B-side of "C'est Si Triste San Lui" 78 (1929)
Also try: other early Cajun collections, such as Yazoo's Early American Cajun Music, Arhoolie's Cajun Breakdown, etc.
Commentary: I've heard a few other songs by Joe & Cléoma (who were married) and they rock. Cléoma's singing is great, but I just love the vocals in this song. Heard on Dust-to-Digital's the Harry Smith's B-Sides release.

"All I Want is You" by Cindy Lee
Song: "All I Want Is You"
Artist: Cindy Lee
Album: Diamond Jubilee (2024)
Also try: Pat Flegel's work with the band Women, maybe Amen Dunes, or early How to Dress Well
Lyrics that resound:: 🎶🎶 [I don't know the lyrics yet -- too fresh. maybe I'll update when I've got some]
Commentary: I've barely started disc 1 and I'm digging the album. I'm not that familiar with Pat's work but I'm ready to work backwards. Some sugary lo-fi pop music that apparently is often noisier than this track. I'm down.
