No Depression 'Bonus Tracks'
No Depression June 4, 2021
A new EP out today from Megan Palmer examines the pandemic from a perspective that’s uncommon among musicians: She’s a registered nurse working in the palliative care unit at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville. The five songs on Take Good Care were written with co-workers as they processed an incredibly stressful time, and have been released one at time starting in May, which is Nurse’s Month. The EP’s last song, “A New Way to Be,” celebrates Palmer’s experience on the other side of the caring relationship, as a cancer survivor, and was released this week to coincide with National Cancer Survivor Week. Watch her video for the song below:
