Out Now: Dustin Lynch feat. Jelly Roll – ‘Chevrolet’
Turning the ignition on a forever-young kind of freedom, Multi-Platinum star Dustin Lynch hits the road in 'Chevrolet'. With an assist from his BBR Music Group labelmate Jelly Roll, it’s a brand-new Country anthem with “classic” written all over it. Available today across all streaming platforms and digital retailers, “There is something in the air in Nashville right now, where writers are on the same wavelength and doing cool things like interpolating classic songs into something new.

BEN DE LA COUR “Sweet Anhedonia”
‘Americanoir’ è il bel neologismo coniato per descrivere la musica di Ben De La Cour, nato a Londra ma ben presto trasferitosi negli States dove ha viaggiato in lungo ed in largo accumulando vorticosamente esperienze di ogni tipo, da barista a buttafuori, da fattore a pugile (nella sua breve residenza a Cuba) e incrociando ogni tipo di umanità, spesso ai margini della società, sofferente ma piena di solidarietà ed empatia. Ben De La Cour ha vissuto in prima persona tutto questo e le sue storie grondano emozioni spesso dai colori forti, oscure e misteriose, energiche, dal taglio folk [...]
TREMOLOCO “Curandera vol. 1”
East L.A. è stato sin dagli anni sessanta punto di incontro di varie culture all’insegna del più sanguigno e vibrante rock, filtrato attraverso il retaggio messicano dei giovani che frequentavano quelle strade e nei cui garage suonavano instancabilmente. Poi è venuto il grande successo dei Los Lobos che ha fatto luce su quella scena e i Tremoloco guidati da Tony Zamora si inseriscono perfettamente in quel godibile ‘melting pot’ di suoni tra rock, tex-mex, country music e sorprendentemente anche cenni celtici e cajun. “Curandera vol.1” è il nuovo album del trio guidato appunto da Tony Zamora (chitarre elettriche [...]
WATER TOWER “Live From Los Angeles”
I Water Tower sono un collettivo musicale nato a Portland, Oregon sotto la guida di Kenny Feinstein, appassionato di tradizione country e bluegrass ma anche di suoni legati al punk-rock. Da cinque anni Mr. Feinstein ha deciso di spostare la sua base a Los Angeles, trovando un nuovo assetto alla band che ora è un quartetto con lo stesso Kenny a chitarra e fiddle, il banjoista e chitarrista Tommy Drinkard, l’altro banjo player Jesse Blue Eads (originariamente un bassista dalla radici jazz) e Joey Berglund al contrabbasso. I Water Tower non sono quindi la classica bluegrass band tradizionale [...]
Randall King Debuts Two New Tracks: ‘The One You’re Waiting On’ & ‘Hard To Be Humble’ (Out Now)
Hereford, Texas native Randall King brings his Billboard-praised “sturdy baritone” to the forefront alongside a healthy dose of hubris and equal parts vulnerability on latest double-shot delivery: 'The One You’re Waiting On' and 'Hard To Be Humble'. The son of a working man, King was raised on the influences of country music greats Alan Jackson, George Strait, Keith Whitley and more; his neo-traditional style a byproduct of living life the way he often heard reflected in their lyrics. It was this same authenticity that rang out when King first heard 'The One You’re Waiting On' and was instantly [...]
SMALL TOWN ROMANCE RETURN WITH DREAMY NEW SINGLE, “HOME FIRES”
“Home Fires” is the new single from Melbourne country outfit Small Town Romance. A sonically luxurious country soul exploration of the impossible fantasies we entertain in life’s quiet moments. It’s a song you could imagine Patsy Cline crooning that also feels immediately relatable to every person who parented small humans through endless lockdowns. The arrangement features sweeping pedal steel from Shane Reilly (Lost Ragas), rolling organ from Stevie Hesketh (Jet) and the remarkable vocal blend of Jim Arneman and Flora Smith. “Home Fires” is the first release off the band’s second album, due out in early 2024.
THE BLUESLAND HORN BAND “Six”
E’ un affascinante viaggio musicale nel cuore del profondo sud quello dei canadesi Bluesland Horn Band, collettivo protagonista da fine anni novanta dei club a nord del confine con gli States. Da Memphis a New Orleans, l’ispirazione li ha portati dal blues al soul, dal funk al gospel, al country swing, al rock impregnato di umori ‘southern’. “Six” è la fotografia più nitida di una band ampia (ben otto elementi), poderosa e talentuosa che ci propone un repertorio interamente originale, composto dal chitarrista e dobro player Terry Medd che tocca nei dieci brani che lo compongono le molteplici [...]
