We'll start out with funky soul from Kenya Hall, hear a love song for sheltering in place from Leon Bridges, get the Ration Blues with Louis Jordan (don't worry, The Nitty Gritty Sextet is bringing some Rice & Beans), and hear The Winstons' B side that spawned one of the most-sampled drum breaks in history.
