Breakfast Blend w/ Galaxy Girl & Friends
Galaxy Girl – 20260205 – Cruel Cruel World
Well shit, y’all. My Best Friend, the illustrious OneHitWanda died last week, but she would absolutely kick my ass if I skipped over the first week of Black History Month to pay her tribute. (So I’m going to do that closer to her birthday.)
Join me this week for some new music by Mon Rovia, Rhiannon Giddons & Justin Robinson; some new-to-me tunes by Jimmy Smith, Saul Williams, and NO BS! Brass; and some perennial favorites by Jackie Shane, Etta James, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, AND MUCH MORE!!!
