Feels good to have you all here. Adobe & Teardrops will now be a bi-monthly (every 2 weeks) podcast, and I\u2019m so honored to have Lilli Lewis with me to re-inaugurate the show. Lewis is a veteran of the New Orleans music world and her new album, Americana, draws a line in the sand for anyone who think Black artists don\u2019t belong in Americana music. We discuss whether or not genres even need to matter, anyway, and we spin a list of empowering songs by Black women.
