(Un)Focused Definition Ep. 51: A Random Riot

Super brief, but not exactly random. I’m upstate in the woods for a family get-together, and didn’t have time to properly get a playlist off. But there’s a small bit of method to the madness here: I’ve been listening to a lot of indie rock that is either comprised of women or feature women, and so the first half of this playlist is a showcase for some incredible music in that arena.

After initially being lukewarm on their new album =1, the first to feature Simon McBride on guitar, I fell hard for it and subsequently fell even harder for the last few with Steve Morse. You don’t want an hour of that, believe me (maybe you do).

Good thing I’ve been on a rampage lately with new music. Sure, it’s mainly progressive rock, jazz, fusion and – yeah – Deep Purple, but at least it’s not ALL Deep Purple, right? Right?
