"rural rock '73-/74-style update" - great description. Rural rock, who knew that's what we were listening to back then. But it is interesting how some songs from the seventies are completely unlike anything today.

Great to see Susan Cowsill here. She and her brothers and husband and sometimes nephews still play as The Cowsills at times too; they played at Silver Reef in WA a few years ago. Susan's an awesome songwriter and yes, relevant. Just yesterday I shared her "Nanny's Song" with a friend who is going through her mother's death: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndkzHUIi…
Her late brother Barry's song "River of Love" is also one you should hear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49iQLV8_…
