S.G. Goodman returns with (Re) Planting by the Signs, an expanded edition of her 2025 studio album on Slough Water Records via Thirty Tigers. The expanded edition includes reimagined versions of album tracks, a cover of “I’m In Love” by renowned American Folk legend Dan Reeder. Elsewhere, Goodman presents her refreshing cover of “Pepper,” the beloved track from Butthole Surfers’ 1996 album Electriclarryland. Goodman’s swinging rendition filters the song’s deadpan surrealism and hypnotic groove through her own Western Kentucky lens, a testament to her fearless range as an artist and vocalist. The album concludes with fellow Kentuckian Tyler Childers and his wife Senora May performing their own rendition of album title track, “Planting By The Signs.”
Composed of songs inspired by love, loss, reconciliation, and the aforementioned ancient practice - how planting a garden, or weaning a baby, or getting a haircut are best timed in accordance with the cycle of the moon. A concept diametrically opposed to the tech-obsessed, profit margin-driven mania swirling around us. Through exploring themes related to planting by the signs, Goodman provides a timely reminder that the only way forward is together, and that we must always take into account humanity’s dependence on and responsibility to the natural world.
