S.G. Goodman – (RE) Planting By The Signs
Today, S.G. Goodman announces (Re) Planting by the Signs, a deluxe edition of her critically acclaimed album Planting by the Signs (Slough Water Records / Thirty Tigers).
The collection expands the original record with five additional tracks: a new intro based on Goodman’s live show, a homespun cover of the title track by Senora May and Tyler Childers, Dan Reeder’s whimsical take on “I’m in Love,” Goodman’s excellent cover of “Pepper” by the Butthole Surfers, and an electrifying new interpretation of “Heat Lightning.” A portion of the album’s proceeds will benefit Goodman’s local NPR station, WKMS in Murray, KY. Long live local radio.
Goodman had this to say about the Childers cover:
“Senora was one of the first people I spoke with about writing an album around the beliefs of “Planting by the Signs.” It turns out her father, who farms, has practiced the old belief her whole life. In its essence, my title track includes the foundational philosophy of “Moon Planting” within a love song narrative. Who better than Tyler and Senora Childers to join on a song written about the alignment of the stars in the very cabin that brought them together? To my knowledge, it was the first time the two of them had recorded a song together. To say I am honored is a disservice to the feeling held. On top of that, both Childers agreed to have the proceeds of this track support my local NPR affiliate, WKMS. In Kentucky neighborly fashion, from the east to the west, we joined to support our neighbors receiving crucial weather updates, national and local news, and local music promotion–which all three of us have benefited from.”
S.G. Goodman’s Planting by the Signs is available now on all platforms.
The original album finds the Kentucky-born singer-songwriter exploring grief, love, and reconciliation through the lens of the ancient Appalachian tradition of planting by the signs. Featuring eleven tracks and vivid, incisive songwriting, the record has been hailed as her finest work to date. (Re) Planting by the Signs is available now on all platforms via Slough Water Records / Thirty Tigers.
