Whatever gets you through the night as Johnny Lennon says or the day or the year, whatever gets you to celebrating another trip around the sun, thats whatever it took to get you here and you are here and I am here and that is enough of a reason to play some songs and enjoy the day which happens to be the anniversary of my birth. And considering its been a year since the last, well, it didn’t seem to take too long. Thanks to Ponytails, Oh Susanna, Jessica Rhaye & the Ramshackle Parade (covering Bob Dylan for his birthday), Jordan Klassen, Geneviève Racette, Black Mountain, Sigala & Becky Hill and Colour Tongues for the tracks. Cheers to you whenever your birthday is.

Originally released in 1999, Johnstown is considered a contemporary folk-noir masterpiece brimming with ghostly songs of melancholic beauty and menace. Oh Susanna's voice evokes a cinematic narration to simultaneously warm the heart and chill the blood.   Her critically acclaimed, debut full-length album  was remastered and released on vinyl for Record Store Day, limited to 500 hand numbered copies.

This is the official video for "Ring Them Bells" from the album Just Like a Woman - Songs of Bob Dylan by Jessica Rhaye & the Ramshackle Parade.
