Boxing Talk and Commentary from Maestro Amílcar (@maestroamilcar)
Even for someone trained from birth to manage a farm, stepping into an inheritance at the age of twenty is not easy. Yet this is the situation facing Promise Mears Crawford when Sunday's Orphan opens in 1930. Trouble comes at her from many directions. Her adoptive uncle, Taylor Crawford, constructed his farm according to the principles of racial equality, in defiance of the Jim Crow laws in effect all around him. Taylor had the standing to resist opposition from his neighbors, but Promise lacks both his stature and the resources she needs to fulfill the obligations he took on. Her financial constraints land her in conflict with the farm's foreman, Fletch Hart, a long-time friend whose dreams of becoming a physician she cannot support due to lack of funds. But the potential loss of Fletch's friendship pales in comparison to the threat posed by the arrival of Daffron Mears, a self-appointed Jim Crow enforcer whose propensity for vigilante violence is well known throughout the county. Daffron wants a job—in fact, he wants Promise's farm, which he regards as stolen from him by Taylor—and he is not above manipulating Jim Crow laws to get his way. He implies that he will report Promise to the authorities if she turns him down while giving work to Fletch, a Black man. To protect her friend, Promise agrees to Daffron's demand, if only for a week. But Daffron's return to the farm that he left twenty years before sets off a series of crises that cast doubt on everything Promise thought she knew about herself and her origins. Catherine Gentile admits in our interview that this was a difficult novel to write. For the same reasons, it is a difficult novel to read. But its exploration of a topic too often buried beneath platitudes about the need for change and its particular relevance to the questions of racial injustice that have been front and center the last two years make it an important book. Catherine Gentile is the author of The Quiet Roar of the Hummingbird, a fictionalized memoir, and Small Lies: A Collection of Short Stories, as well as Sunday's Orphan. C. P. Lesley is the author of two historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible and three other novels. Her next book, Song of the Sinner, will appear in 2022.

Every few months, we collect some of our favorite tunes and throw them together for a wonderful little recap we like to call REPLAY. We used to do replays on our shows, but people told us they didn’t get it, so we figured it’d be better to do it this way. Our BEST OF shows are stupid popular, so the best way for us to promote indie artists is to do these periodic collections, so that’s what we’re doing here. So there. First off, INDIECON! Moving along nicely, still time to enter at www.indieoriginalslive.com. Second, did you know our host Chuck Fresh is the voice of Sirius XM radio? You knew I sounded familiar, didn’t you… whatever.Third, there was some sad news in the IOL community last month. As Fast As I Can by Cigarettes and Roses 28Jenny Pagliaro — Massachusetts native, Santa Monica yoga instructor, lead singer of Roses & Cigarettes — -- succumbed to metastatic breast cancer at just 35 years old. Angela Petrilli recalls auditioning for a cover band Jenny fronted. “It was like I knew her my whole life. She’d always be the first person I’d hear from every day. Every. Single. Day. Always checking in, sending each other funny pictures, song ideas, shared plans back and forth on how we were gonna become rock stars…” Jenny beat back cancer in 2015, after Roses and Cigarrets released their self-titled debut album, but in 2016 she was diagnosed as Stage 4. When she returned to performing, one of her yoga students was surprised to find his teacher rocking onstage. She was an inspiration to a lot of people. Last January, Pagliaro had to stop teaching, and pretty much everything else, as she struggled with fatigue and prayed a last-ditch Y90 treatment would be “a light in a very dark tunnel.” Their last EP, “Echoes and Silence” was released in February, which accompanied the “Fast As I Can” video with Jenny’s comment that the song was “about not letting the biggest challenge you’ve ever faced stop you from living your dreams.” Here’s one out to Jenny, and any other people who are living with cancer, or who have lost someone to cancer. Here’s Cigarettes and Roses with AS FAST AS I CAN on IOL.Whisper In The Mist by Alto Key 21Alto Key is a British indie folk artist, led by singer-songwriter Keyan Barton. Barton actually got a scholarship when he went to university. He bought all the essentials for his degree and accommodations. But rather than saving the leftover money (like someone with common sense), he blew the rest on this keyboard. And thank goodness he did. Barton works with other musicians around the world to record and collaborate. Their emphasis on the beauty of real instruments makes for a warm acoustic sound. Check out this gorgeous track called Whisper In The Mist by Alto Key on IOL.Warning Signs by Chasing Shadows 22Chasing Shadows grew up in a town that has seen better days. Their journey started in August 2014 at the Kings Head in Rhuddlan, North Wales, and since then, Sam, Ben, Russ & Chris have been producing powerful harmonic songs that’ll stick in your ears for hours to come. Their new EP, Darker Days, sees the band return to their rockier roots. ‘Warning Signs’ was released first, with the track receiving placement on indie stations all over the world. Here’s Warning Signs by Chasing Shadows on Indie Originals Live. Facedown by 14 North (22)14 North is a Rock band from Jacksonville Beach, Florida. Their sound is a hard-rocking take on 90's grunge with influences from Nirvana and Alice in Chains to Foo Fighters and Puddle of Mudd. And these guys CRUSH it! Check out Facedown by 14 North on IOL.Is It Love by December Fades (22)December Fades is Los Angeles singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kevin Rogers. He has created a beautiful soundscape of heartfelt lyrics and catchy harmonic colorations. Kevin’s voice has been compared to “a soulful Sting,” and even Chris Martin of Coldplay. One listen and you’ll be a December Fades fan too. Here’s Is It Love on IOL.Go by Kid Nebraska (25)Kid Nebraska formed in the fall of 2017 when Josh Kidney messaged Travis Muzney, and Travis jumped at the chance to start a band and brought along Jon Packard on bass. Josh called his longtime friend and guitar mentor Todd Laird. Once the four-piece was established, the band started practicing and booking. Their first single “Go” was released on August 14 2018, and the rest, as they say, will be history. This is an awesome song! Here’s GO by Kid Nebraska on IOL.Balance by Ripley (27)Formed in 2015 RIPLEY in the UK, a three piece alternate rock band, is former classical guitarist Colin Elsworth’s attempt to come to terms with a neurological injury that left him unable to continue to pursue a career as a solo performer. The result is a powerful, anthemic and emotional sound rooted in the tradition of classic rock, compositionally fused with a life-long love of Hollywood film scores, delivered with absolute conviction. The band’s debut EP, Balance and its title track has HIT written all over it! Ripley is currently working on their first full-length album due for release next year. Until then, to hold you over, is BALANCE by RIPLEY on IOL!Cold heart by rebecca jane (27)22 year old Rebecca Jayne from the UK released her debut single ‘I Want More’ in July 2016. The single made it into the Top 100 iTunes Country Charts. Rebecca has spent time in Nashville playing at The Bluebird Cafe and Tootsies. She has been capturing audiences with her captivating voice and intricate guitar skills.Kassidy Lynne - Diamond (27)Kassidy Lynne is a Country singer/songwriter from Seattle.

Kassidy also competed in the Miss Washington Teen USA Pageant and Miss International Junior Miss where she received 1st runner up in 2016. Here’s beauty queen Kassidy Lynne with Diamond on IOL. Jacob melton -- 90 proof smooth (27)Jacob Melton is a singer/songwriter from moonshine country in Tennessee. His great grandfather still plays bluegrass music at age 89 and in his younger days, he played bass in rock bands. From 2009 to 2016 Jacob was lead vocals and rhythm guitarist in the band "Burning Years" and wrote a majority of their original music. Now, he’s writing and performing solo, and this is exactly where the good lord meant him to be. You’ll hear why. In what might be the song of the summer this year, check out 90 PROOF SMOOTH by Jacob Melton on IOL.Goran -- call it quits (28)Under a Nashville Sky marks the return of Goran, lead singer and songwriter of Milwaukee’s “The Gufs.” What started out as songs meant to be pitched to the country market, became a Goran solo project! Check out the ever-hopeful Call It Quits on IOL.A bad called sad - mambo number 6 (28)SAD is an upbeat alternative rock band from New York City with -- brace yourself and put your thinking cap on - ready? “An undercurrent of sadness that tries to capture a nostalgia for things that never really happened.” Yeah.

In this episode we taste our first rye, Redemption Rye. We chat about Thor: Ragnarok and talk with Taylor Crawford about her recently released music video.
In 228, Benny B and RZ discuss RZ and the beginning of his 36th year on Planet Earth. They also quickly get into another discussion about Commando, and the exploits of "Bennett". Very insightful shit. They also discuss the World Baseball Classic in depth (with a special look into Taylor Crawford). There's a quick break down of the NCAA tourney, capped with a Shaq Bracket, or "Shaquet". Oh, and a quick bit about Star Wars Rebels. Benny and RZ try their hardest to NOT talk about Tombstone, but they did... That rolls into a quick review about Narcos. Sick show.
