“Ginny & Georgia” returned for Season 3 on Netflix with more chaos for the mother-daughter duo, as Georgia faces a murder trial and a lifetime prison sentence.

As such, a moody mash-up of songs accompanies this thrilling batch of episodes. Ginny is navigating her own challenges at school as her peers learn of her mother’s criminal record, while jumping through hoops to connect with her mother.

Season 3 features tracks from electronic dance group Jungle and a classic (and recently trending) tune from Patsy Cline. Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Remi Wolf and Yebba’s songs also make an appearance in the Netflix series.

For a full breakdown of all the songs in Season 3 of “Ginny & Georgia,” keep reading:

Episode 1: “This Wouldn’t Even Be a Podcast” “Find You Out” – Sidney Gish, Clavvs “I Don’t Care” – Lall “Small Doses” – Camille Cano “Dancing in the Dark” – LØLØ “Can I Talk My Shit” – Vagabon “So Dramatic!

Ginny & Georgia has challenged the mold between drama and comedy, tackling all sorts of themes, for two seasons, and Season 3 follows in those footsteps.

Season 3 will see Brianne Howey’s Georgia Miller go through a trial for murder, which she did, indeed commit, while her daughter Ginny (Antonia Gentry) and son Austin (Diesel La Torraca) watch from the courtroom benches alongside her fiancé Mayor Paul Randolph (Scott Porter).

Whether it be an event at high school for sophomores like Sophomore Sleepover or Tulips & Tuxes or a Living Room Dance Party (Lrdp), there are many opportunities for a needle drop or three in the series. Alison Moses and Kayla Monetta are responsible for curating the soundtrack to the show’s third season.

Seated behind his organ at Stax Records’ recording studio in Memphis in the Sixties, Booker T. Jones was a first-hand witness to musical history. As part of Booker T. and the Mg’s, Stax’s house band, Jones played on soul landmarks by Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Carla Thomas and especially Sam & Dave. Two days ago, Jones heard, like most of the world, that Sam Moore had died at the age of 89, depriving American music of another legend. (His on-and-off musical partner Dave Prater died in 1988.)

Once Jones left Stax...

Sam Moore, who with with partner Dave Prater helped bring the sound of the church to pop music with a string of call-and-response hits as the high tenor in the famed Stax Records duo Sam & Dave, has died. He was 89.

Moore died Friday morning in Coral Gables, Florida, of complications recovering from surgery, his rep Jeremy Westby announced.

Called “the greatest of all soul duos” by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which inducted the pair in 1992, Sam & Dave worked with the songwriting/production team of Isaac Hayes and David Porter — and used Booker T & the M.G.’s and the Memphis Horns as their backing band — to produce a string of indelible rave-up hits from 1965-68.

Their combined talent produced fevered back-and-forth exchanges in “You Don’t Know Like I Know,” “Hold On, I’m Coming,” “You Got Me Hummin’,” “Soul Man” and “I Thank You.”

Along with labelmate Otis Redding,...

In a small record store on McLemore Avenue, the soulful sound of Stax Records was born. This former movie theater in the South Memphis neighborhood might not have seemed the likeliest spot to launch a musical revolution. But in the 1960s, under the leadership of siblings Jim Stewart and Estelle Axton, this unassuming storefront became the epicenter of a new genre—Southern soul.

With artists like Otis Redding, Carla Thomas, and The Bar-Kays laying down tracks in the studio upstairs, Stax developed a raw, funky sound unlike anything coming out of Motown up north. Male-female duos like Sam & Dave brought the noise with rousing call-and-response songs, while the house band Booker T. & the MGs laid down some of the tightest grooves in popular music. It was soul music perfected for the church and the dance hall.

This documentary series, directed by Jamila Wignot, shines a light on the glory days...

Jamila Wignot understood going in to her assignment as director of the four-part HBO documentary series “Stax: Soulsville, U.S.A.” that she had her work cut out to hit a certain sweet spot. She was tasked to satisfy both people who have no clue about the legendary and influential Memphis-based record label and soul music producer that launched the careers of Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, Carla Thomas, Booker T. and the M.G.’s, Sam and Dave and many other acts through the 1960s and ’70s – and those who were completely steeped in its colorful (pun intended) history. “It was very challenging,” she admits, “because music fanatics can be exceptionally particular about what they want their favorite label or music doc to cover. But I think the goal is to always try to satisfy he folks who are already kind of deeply in the know and hopefully provide them...

You don’t have to be an expert on classic soul and R&b to recognize the American music monuments that emerged from Stax Records in the Sixties and Seventies. Sam & Dave’s “Soul Man,” Otis Redding’s “Respect” and “(Sittin’ on) The Dock of the Bay,” Isaac Hayes’ “Theme From Shaft,” and the Staple Singers’ “I’ll Take You There” — just a few of Stax’s greatest hits — made the case that the Memphis-based record company was the Southern version of Motown.

Whether anyone fully realizes that is another matter.

A new docuseries, Stax: Soulsville U.S.A., will look at the radical history of the groundbreaking Memphis label, which has been home to Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, Sam and Dave, Booker T. and the M.G.’s, and the Staple Singers, among others. A trailer for the four-part series, which debuts with two episodes on HBO and the whole thing on Max on May 20, explains how label founders Jim Stewart and Estelle Axton, who were white, fell in love with Black music and made the label a haven for artists...

Baby Driver's eclectic soundtrack enhances the film's action and drama, with each song perfectly matching the rhythm and beats of the scenes. The detailed breakdown of the songs used in Baby Driver provides insight into the film's key moments and their significance in the story. Edgar Wright's stylistic editing and direction make Baby Driver a visually captivating and engaging cinematic experience.

Baby Driver's white-knuckling car chase scenes and feel-good romantic moments are perfectly complemented with a diverse set of songs. Directed by Edgar Wright, Baby Driver, as its title suggests, focuses on a getaway driver named Baby who hopes to leave his criminal life behind after getting in a romantic relationship with a girl named Debora. However, to his dismay, not everything goes as planned. Like every Edgar Wright movie, Baby Driver's primary appeal comes from its stylistic editing and direction.

What makes its editing even more...

The story of Stax records has long been smoothed over and sculpted into a neat bundle of Southern aphorism and marketing copy: The Memphis home of “Soul Man” and Shaft and the Staple Singers was the more authentic (insert adjective like “gritty” or “greasy” or “Southern-fried” here), counterpart to the pop-oriented Motown; a rare space of multiracial utopia in a segregated Sixties South; a locus, for Blacks in Memphis at the time, for the expressions and dreams of a better American future that lost its way in 1968 when those dreams...

Jim Stewart, co-founder of R&b label Stax and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, died on Monday, longtime staff Stax songwriter David Porter confirmed on Monday. Stewart was 92.

“No way a poor kid from a housing project’s picture in Memphis would be on a bus rolling through Memphis if it were not for this man, Jim Stewart the St of the word Stax,” Porter wrote in a social media caption with a photo of the Stax Museum bus (the museum is located at the original location of Stax Records...

Brothers Osborne, nine-time nominees, won their first career Grammy award during Sunday’s streaming Grammy Premiere Ceremony. The duo of Tj and John Osborne won Best Country/Duo Group Performance for their introspective song “Younger Me,” written shortly after the duo’s singer Tj Osborne came out as a gay man.

“I never thought I would be able to do music professionally because of my sexuality and I never thought I would be on this stage accepting a Grammy,” Tj said, his voice cracking.

“I want to thank my younger self for pursuing this,...

Artists appearing in multiple categories include Jason Isbell, Amythyst Kiah, Valerie June, and Brandi Carlile. Isbell and Carlile are both up for Artist of the Year, while Isbell’s Reunions is nominated for Album...

Valerie June has spent the past decade on her own meandering path towards artistic self-definition. Her 2013 album, Pushin’ Against a Stone was her breakthrough, establishing the singer’s distinctive country-blues whine as a vital voice in contemporary roots music.

But the album, co-produced by Dan Auerbach and Kevin Augunas (Edward Sharpe, the Lumineers), also positioned the singer as a rural anachronism amidst the post-Mumfords banjo boom, an image June has been carefully and subtly shedding ever since. She deliberately mapped out her next steps, waiting four years until 2017’s The Order of Time.

Four years after her breakout 2017 album The Order of Time, singer-songwriter Valerie June will be releasing her latest studio album The Moon and Stars: Prescriptions for Dreamers on March 12th.

Recorded in Los Angeles and Miami with producer Jack Splash, June’s forthcoming project finds the singer brightening and building on the ethereal roots-music blend she introduced on her most recent studio effort.

“For this album I wanted to see how we could bring some modern elements into that band-in-the-room approach I’ve taken with my records in the past,...

The story of a black detective up in Harlem hired to recover the kidnapped daughter of a mob boss was the Big Bang of African American movies. His name was Shaft. And his a massive deluxe reissue of Isaac Hayes' Grammy Award-winning album is coming home.

Craft Recordings has set a June 14th street date of the Shaft soundtrack and limited the release to 5,000 copies worldwide. The two-cd collection will offer the newly remastered, classic soundtrack-as originally released in 1971-plus all of the original music from the film, which did not appear on the best-selling LP. In-depth liner notes from Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson round out the set. A single-disc version consisting of only the remastered soundtrack will also be available.

Unbeknownst to many, the music from the Shaft soundtrack album and the film were actually not the same. When Isaac Hayes was tapped to score the film's music, he...

Before she reimagined herself as an authorial queen of outsized pop anthems, Sia made her name back in the early ‘00s singing on blunted downtempo jams like Zero 7’s “Destiny” (forever watching porn in her hotel dressing gown), then made it again on her parched, purring, brink-of-a-bad-trip solo ballad “Breathe Me,” which wound up scoring the gorgeous, cast-extinguishing finale of Six Feet Under. Branded as LSD and wrapped in Peter Max-y graphics, her latest project might suggest a throwback chill-room journey — especially given the participation of Diplo, a longtime dub...

The Queen of Soul laid down a night of spiritual music for the Gospel classic Amazing Grace, now we can see the show.

Aretha Franklin wasn't only the Queen of Soul. She was part of a legendary legacy which raised racial consciousness through that old time religion. One of the most spiritual performers on stage, her voice and her piano were possessed of the gift of happy telepathy, even on the saddest of songs. Her live gospel album from 1972 Amazing Grace, revealed the holy spirit of soul music. It is the highest-selling gospel album of all time. The long-suppressed documentary the concert, Amazing Grace gets a nationwide release on April 5th, 2019.

Filmmaker Sydney Pollack caught Aretha performing the live album Amazing Grace. She played The New Bethel Baptist Church in Watts, Los Angeles backed by the Reverend James Cleveland and the Southern California Community Choir, along with some Atlantic Records musicians,...

A love story between a girl and a sea creature, a satire reflecting racial issues in today’s society, and two inspiring lessons of four weeks in 1940 during which Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s courage to lead changed the course of world history and one of the greatest suspense stories of all time where British and Allied troops, trapped on the beach with their backs to the sea, faced an impossible situation as the enemy closed in. Horror, fantasy, historical epic, comedy, drama… the motion pictures tales of 2017 had something for all.

Theater marquees were filled with familiar titles such as Star Wars, Independence Day, Alien, Blade Runner, and Kong while Guardians, Superheroes and Wonder Women saved the day once again.

Cinema-goers were offered a fresh perspective on the parent-child bond, an insightful look as two giant newspapers expose a massive cover-up of government secrets, as well as a dark...

Edgar Wright knows cinema. It’s evident in the way he writes his characters. It’s evident in how he chooses to tell his stories. It’s evident in the little visual nods he sprinkles into each scene, like tiny cinematic sprinkles – though they may seem unnecessary, they add to the delightful treat for film lovers. And so, with each new film, he pushes himself in terms of telling a new type of story and delivering it in a way that pushes his exhilarating style. It’s impossible to watch an Edgar Wright film and not feel the energy he has for the project, complete with those fun little sprinkles on top.

His unabashed glee for filmmaking has come to a head with Baby Driver. Years of studying film, analyzing the camerawork, acknowledging the tropes, and listening to the importance of a solid soundtrack, has amounted to a cinematic fervor...

Now this is what I call a summer movie. Baby Driver has it all: thrills, laughs, sex, nonstop action, a killer soundtrack, a star-making performance from Ansel Elgort and a director – Edgar Wright – who can knock the wind out of you. When was the last time to got pumped by a car chase? This revved-up ride of a movie is loaded with them, and they're spectacular.

Ok, let's back up and get our bearings. Elgort, the teen dream of The Fault in Our Stars, plays Baby, an Atlanta getaway driver with chronic tinnitus.
