Fresh Tracks Friday | April 14, 2023

Easter eggs have hatched 12 new babies that we call Fresh Tracks Friday. This week we highlight The Aces, Charley Crockett, and Josh Ritter among others. It's all right here and fresh on KPCW.

9 a.m. - Lukas Nelson and Promise of The Real - More Than Friends (feat. Lainey Wilson)
Lukas Nelson duets with Lainey Wilson in this fresh track as they lobby for spending the night together as 'friends with benefits' (and zero regrets). This track will appear on Nelson’s new album, Sticks and Stones, which is due out in July. Nelson said Sticks and Stones is an album about “celebrating the human connection, joy and excitement."

10 a.m. - The Nude Party - Somebody Tryin' to Hoodoo Me
The Nude Party band got their name in their formative years because of their proclivity to practice their music 'less-than-fully-dressed', but that was 10 years ago, and now the upstate New York-based band has more to their reputation than the name. The Nude Party is coming to Salt Lake City with a live show on April 21st at The State Room.
11 a.m. - Lou Reed - Open Invitation
You may wonder how Lou Reed can release new music when he died of liver cancer in 2013. Well, a new book came out last month titled "The Art of the Straight Line: My Tai Chi," which captures the energy of Lou Reed’s worlds of Tai Chi, music, and meditation. Along with it came a previously unreleased track recorded in 1984 during the taping of Reed's "New Sensations" album.
