Jose Gonzalez covers Arthur Russell

Influential New York cult artist Arthur Russell is getting a loving cover record released by Red Hot featuring artists like Blood Orange, Robyn, Cults, Phosphorescent, and more. Troubadour Jose Gonzalez's contribution is a take on "This Is How We Walk on the Moon," from Russell's posthumously released 1994 album "Another Thought." Take a listen below and look for "Master Mix: Red Hot + Arthur Russell" next month on Yep Roc.

The Relatives

Though i am not religious in even the slightest of ways, in the spirit of Good Friday and Easter weekend, here is some fantastic and funky gospel soul from Dallas's The Relatives.  "Things Are Changing" comes from the group's debut album "The Electric Word," a record 40 years in the making.  Produced by Spoon's Jim Eno and featuring Zach Ernst (Black Joe Lewis and The Honeybears), the record swims through elements of the aforementioned funk, gospel, and soul, as well as tinges of psychedelia and blues.  This is Sunday family Bar-B-Que music at its very best.  Get it from Yep Roc Records.

Praise the lord!
