Cornelius Eady (CRF Juror) and his band have released a new album,”Don’t Get Dead,” which was recorded and mixed completely remotely. The songs are a record, from the early shock, fear, and confusion of March, 2020, (“Misery Bed”, “Little Boat”, “The Dance Band on the Titanic”) through the white hot center of the body count (“Heaven”, “Nurse Red Line” “17”). From the folly of the Government of the 45th President, (The Check”), to the police murder of George Floyd and the rise of Black Lives Matters (“Anthology”, “The Knee”). From the bravery of one Black man holding off a mob (“One Good Man”), to the hope of a song inspired by a quote from an ailing Walt Whitman (It’ll Pass By”), and the possibility of building a new normal (“Sunshine”). Listen to the BBC Radio 4’s “Shock Waves” episode which features the Cornelius Eady Trio’s pandemic folk song project and check out the full album on Bandcamp. #CivitellaRanieri
