Year 43: 2015


 River by Leon Bridges

Back in 2017, HBO released the initial season of the short series, Big Little Lies.  There's a lot going for the show-A list actors (Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Laura Dern, to mention a few), a compelling storyline, and beautiful cinematography.  My favorite part of the series was Witherspoon's character's precocious daughter who DJ'ed for her family with an eclectic and solid mix of modern songs.  This song was among those featured on the show and my introduction to Leon Bridges. 

If you've never listened to Bridges before, enjoy.  There was strong competition in '15, but the song I keep coming back to is this slow burning, meandering soul track that is languid and urgent simultaneously.
