Covers with 2 original songs. Released last fall in New Zealand, seems to be getting a (US? international?) release with a new cover on January 27. Lydia Ainsworth - Darling of the Afterglow (due March 31) NPR story on the album with a video of the first single at: http://www.npr.org/2017/01/10/508956641/songs-we-love-lydia-ainsworth-the-roa d [https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2017/01/10/lydia_wide-5d492cb6ac546747f6307 017c6e0387e2b339a2d.jpg?s=1400] Watch Lydia Ainsworth's Fantastical Video For 'The Road' www.npr.org Ainsworth's eerie, exquisite lullaby is a journey between fantasy and reality.

Hurray for the Riff Raff's _The Navigator_ comes along on March 10. I always do one or two year-end wrap-up shows on my WPKN program (Bridgeport, Connecticut). Here the playlist for the show I did in late December, followed by a list of another 100 or so albums I enjoyed this past year.
