Out of This World: A Freakwater Compilation

As I get older (and older), I've become increasingly impressed by artists that manage to put out albums that rival, or even surpass, their earlier work.  In the case of Freakwater, I still give a slight edge to

Feels  Like the Third Time over their 2016 release Scheherazade, but man, the latter, is a really good album and probably a more consistent effort.   And I'm still kicking myself for not going to see them on their tour for the album (I think I had a fairly legitimate reason, but still....)  Anyway, hope folks enjoy this compilation.

Just an Itching in My Heart: Selections from the Holland-Dozier-Holland Songbook

   I can't remember what exactly prompted me to make a tribute to Holland-Dozier-Holland.  It may have been the hagiographic, but still compelling recent Motown documentary, but I think it was a song or even an article.  In the process of putting it together, I also discovered that they wrote a lot of  late 60's and early 70's hits under the pseudonym Edythe Wayne - because of a contract dispute with Motown, they were unable to use their own names for several years after leaving the label.  Anyway, hope folks enjoy the compilation - there aren't that many unconventional covers or obscurities, but hopefully, it still serves as a fitting tribute to a legendary trio.
