The Wavelength
Monday July 5th, 2021 with Joe Reilly
Songs about America, Rich Aucoin's full album United States and four new songs from Lucy Dacus.

The United States of America celebrated Independence Day yesterday - July 4th. Tonight we feature some music that questions the state of America today (and yesterday) and some of these are voices from inside and outside the USA. As part of this we present Rich Aucoin's album United States in its entirety. If you'd like to know more about Rich's album, you can listen to an interview I did with Rich back in September of 2020 when he released the album. It's a thoughtful and insightful conversation with one of Canada's finest independent artists. https://cod.ckcufm.com/programs/107/49174.html https://richaucoin.bandcamp.com/ We also play four songs from Lucy Dacus's brand new album Home Video. It is a stunning third release from the singer-songwriter from Richmond, Virginia that explores her youthful days as she questions religious ideals and discovers her sexuality. It seems ironic to talk about Lucy exploring her youthful days, since she's all of 26 years old, but she brings deep insight and writes with a mature and thoughtful voice across all three of her albums. Check her out. https://lucydacus.com/ https://lucydacus.bandcamp.com/album/home-video You can hear me in conversation with Lucy on an edition of the Guest List from 2019 using this link. She explains her songwriting process and how she creates such personal songs. https://cod.ckcufm.com/programs/107/44540.html Take care out there and be sure to support independent artists!
