693) Muddy Magnolias - Brother, What Happened?

Though this song from now broken up Tennessee duo Muddy Magnolias was released in the summer of 2016, it might be more relevant now than ever. New-York-raised Jessy Wilson grew up with Whitney Houston as her idol while Kallie North was born in Texas and has always been more into The Eagles and The Grateful Dead. When asked by NPR about this song's meaning, North said: "as the current events in our generation started to reflect the deep-rooted problems in America's history, we saw heartbreak, confusion, anger, disappointment, and tragedy - and we were inspired to throw a message of hope and love back into the conversation". We believe the duo achieves just that very efficiently. They don't go over the top with their message - love is a simple concept and it shouldn't be that hard for us to just appreciate each other, since "there's room for us all in this world". By ending the piece with a chant-like outro and repeating the line "Who gon' do it if we don't do it?" they call the audience to take part in the positive revolution suggested in the lyrics.
