Good Friday afternoon, I will be adding three songs for the GSOTD post and playlist. All three songs are from the same artist, this artist has only three monthly listeners, yes! You did read that right, just three monthly listeners. I have listened to all of their top songs and I must say they do sound really good. The first song is a Christian Hymn, the song has been recorded by many big-name music artists, you will be able to read more about it once I add the information with the songs of choice. Enjoy the music, and have a great Friday. Oh! And I almost forgot to mention the music artist, their name is The Maries.   American Folk//Christian Hymn: Wayfaring Stranger by The Maries. Wayfaring Stranger    "Wayfaring Stranger" is a Christian hymn that arose from an African American spiritual song of the 19th century. Its scripture references include Psalm 39, Psalm 119, 2 Corinthians 3, and Hebrews 11-13. The lyrics of this hymn illustrate the life of a Christian longing for their home of God. Although the exact origins of ‘Wayfaring Stranger’ are unknown, many people believe the song finds its roots in American folk and gospel music and is 3339 in the Roud Folk Index. It has been covered by several artists including Burl Ives, Emmylou Harris, and Johnny Cash.  American Folk//Country Folk: Freedom by The Maries.  Freedom   “The Maries” is an Americana mother/daughter folk group. Mylene Marie, a singer/songwriter/musician first came to Los Angeles in 1999 and recorded her solo debut album “Live at The Mint” in 1999 and it was released in 2003. The album featured original Wrecking Crew member Don Randi, Chet McCracken from The Doobie Brothers, Chris Pinnick from the band Chicago, and Tom Lilly from Mick Fleetwood’s Zoo band.  Mylene moved back to the Portland area and in 2012 began performing with her daughter Emily Marie as “The Maries.” They played locally in the Portland/Vancouver area and performed 2 concert dates with Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul, and Mary in 2012 at The Alberta Rose Theater in Portland Oregon, and in 2014 at a benefit concert for Wisdom of The Elders, a Native American nonprofit. Inspired by Peter Yarrow, Mylene wrote “Africa” which discusses the problems of our world while also offering hope and optimism. The Maries moved to back to Los Angeles in 2015 and released their debut album “Peace” in 2018. This album again featured Don Randi along with John DePatie, Chris Roy, Pete Korpela, Mike Deutsch, Harry Kim, and Bobby Furgo. They are currently receiving radio airplay on college and Public Radio stations across America.  As a songwriter, Mylene Marie hopes to encourage a little faith, a lot more hope, and a whole lotta love. With her daughter Emily by her side, their harmonies enchant and uplift the spirit. American Folk: Hope by The Maries. Hope.   Information in the above post.    Hopefully, until sometime tomorrow, take care and stay safe.  ... View more
