Pluto Gang: “Plasmodesmata” (2020)
Having had their first regional tour interrupted by the COVID pandemic, Carolina sextet Pluto Gang convened in a cabin in the Carolina mountains to create their genre-blurred Better Out Here LP,
Their sound is something the band calls “high energy jam soul”. Works for me.

Humblebums: “Her Father Didn’t Like Me Anyway” (1969)
From the second release by the mostly low-key British folk rockers and the first with Gerry Rafferty.
Rafferty’s addition coincided with an advent of brass and woodwind arrangements which, along with Rafferty’s subdued, reflective songwriting, gave the group an enhanced emotional richness. But it was a short-lived collaboration.
Rafferty and Billy Connolly would embark on solo careers one album later.
