Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by John Richards, host of the Morning Show on KEXP, is "Don't Ever Pray in the Church on My Street" by The Reds, Pinks & Purples, from the 2021 album Uncommon Weather on Slumberland.
With his project The Reds, Pinks and Purples, San Francisco-based singer/songwriter Glenn Donaldson pays tribute to his hometown with his third and latest album, Uncommon Weather. The Inner Richmond district is captured in muted, pastel colors on the album artwork, giving it a nostalgic feel, mournful for the days when it was a reasonable place for musicians and artists to live. Uncommon Weather was self-recorded and mostly self-performed, with Donaldson channeling his hero Dan Treacy of Television Personalities.
