We found a home in the folk\/americana realm when we began working with Peter and that gave our career the direction it was lacking,” says Monique. Making this album at such a tumultuous time in history reinforced their role as activists just as much as musicians. “Finding refuge and rejuvenation in these songs with this group of musicians was healing and personally some sort of mission statement for why we even make music in the first place,” Chauntee remembers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe album explores loss, tension, and the love that sees us through it. Folk classic “Shenandoah” longs for a kinder America, while “Old Men Drinking Seagram’s” is a snapshot of a small town full of hate. “Soft Animal” offers tender sensuality, while “On the Eve of the Inaugural” finds the narrator turning his care to a baby in a stranger’s car.  “Song for Michael Brown” is a humble plea for compassion for Brown and for all of us living with the threat of violence and hate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSome songs are more focused on the loneliness of the pandemic and its flipside of love and togetherness. “You and (Everyone Else)” addresses the pandemic loneliness and fear for other’s safety, while “Five Hundred Days” promises a happy reunion. That promise is fulfilled on “First Day of Summer,” a catchy song about a day when it’s safe to hug everybody, wait in line for tacos, and feel free again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe record finishes with the title track, a Chuck Prophet cover. With jangly acoustic guitar, rousing drumming, bold strings, and an anthemic chorus, this is the sound of musicians having fun together. It’s also a reminder that it’s not easy to make a better world, but ultimately that work reveals our humanity. “Love is a hurting thing\/ Oh, but love is the only thing anymore,\" Mulvey and SistaStrings belt out in the refrain.  It’s then abundantly clear that the love songs and the protest songs have been about the same thing all along.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Mulvey","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":39984936157266,"sku":"RBR107V","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":39984936190034,"sku":"RBR107D","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"MP3","offer_id":39984936222802,"sku":"RBR107MP3","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV","offer_id":39984936255570,"sku":"RBR107WAV","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0153\/0645\/products\/PeterMulveyLoveistheOnlyThing_cover.jpg?v=1654813681"},{"product_id":"peter-mulvey-and-jenna-nicholls-some-people-single","title":"Peter Mulvey and Jenna Nicholls - Some People (Single)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst single from the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/righteousbabe.ffm.to\/floydmercantile-floydmercantile\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eforthcoming album 'Floyd Mercantile'\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn April 2025, Peter Mulvey and Jenna Nicholls, along with guitarist Ross Bellenoit, traveled to Floyd, a small mountain town located in the Blue Ridge Highlands of Southwest Virginia, for five uninterrupted days of recording.
