If you didn’t know about it, last week a whole bunch of people-manly women-in a whole bunch of U.S. cities-most notably Oakland, C.A.,-walked for “International Whores Day.” Raising signs that read STIGMA KILLS,” “MY BODY, NOT YOUR CHOICE,” “SEX WORK ≠ TRAFFICKING” these people were directly expressing their outrage over the new SESTA (Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act) and FOSTA (Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act) laws. You know how this stuff goes, the government loves to link shit together, sneak in one bill while it does another, so these two have been linked and are soon coming to a net near you!

“Are You Sure Hand Done It This Way,” roils up off of one chord progression, the opener cover of Steve Earle And The Dukes new Live At The Continental Club Austin Texas. It’s not very hard to get grabbed, locked and deeply infected by Earle’s tunes, but with his chunkin’ 5- piece behind him, there’s no getting out of this mess…not that you’d want to.

Joe Grushecky is from that hard working, simple songwriting east-coast truth teller school, pretty much like N.J.’s favorite son, Bruce Springsteen…who is among Joe Grushecky’s friends. More Yesterdays Than Tomorrow is tightly wound, perfectly executed and well-written and even if there are more days past then coming from this songwriter, singer, guitarist his new album is a real good time.
