Featured Interviews
Jaime Wyatt is a fantastic country singer that has just released her third album, "Feel Good," and is currently on her first headlining tour. This trek has taken her to places and venues where she's never played before and has been a heartening success.
Rodney Crowell's career is littered with butterfly-effect decisions that, in retrospect, represent life-altering milestones along the singer/songwriter's star-crossed path. If the Houston native hadn't moved to Nashville at age 22, he wouldn't have been discovered by Jerry Reed...
Steve Earle pays tribute to one of his mentors and heroes, Jerry Jeff Walker, on "Jerry Jeff," which follows his "GUY" tribute to Guy Clark and "TOWNES" tribute to Townes Van Zandt. Earle has called these projects a necessary form of therapy, as each of these great artists have passed on.
The title track to James McMurtry's "The Horses and the Hounds" plays out like one of those great running songs, namely Merle Haggard's "The Fugitive." "Lord I've been running for so long I just can't find a way back home," McMurtry sings, in that enjoyable deadpan vocal tone of his. When the Haggard song is mentioned, though, McMurtry responds, "I don't really remember.
Back before the world retreated into makeshift fallout shelters for a year of Netflix binging, board games and what Warren Zevon referred to as splendid isolation, Nashville-based singer/songwriter Shannon McNally was invited to play a Music City benefit concert.
By their own admission Track45 hails from a town that is "big enough for a WalMart and a Waffle House, but not a Target or a Starbucks." Ironically, Meridian, Miss. (population (41,148) is the birthplace of the father of country music, Jimmy Rodgers. The harmony-driven sibling trio of Track45 includes Ben Johnson and his infectiously bubbly sisters Jenna and KK.

The War and Treaty give an amen performance
When it came to press play, The War and Treaty were ready. This was not a night where the soul/country husband-and-wife duo of Michael Jr. and Tania Trotter exactly needed to ease into the set. The War and Treaty, along with their supple backing quintet, were ready to roll from the opening bell of what ...X marks the spot for Myers, but maybe not for long
X definitely marked the spot for Ty Myers. When concert attendees go to a concert, the checker at the door marks the fan with a big fat x on their hand if they are under age. They can get in, but no alcohol. The long sold-out show (this was also a venue upgrade of almost a ratio of four!) had an ...Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats burn bright
Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats' star is very bright these days. Only two nights before, he was headlining Madison Square Garden. Tonight was the second of two sold-out shows in Beantown. During the evening, Rateliff rattled off a few of the venues he had played in Boston with the city ...Whitcomb is well on his way
Life is really good for Cameron Whitcomb both personally – which he made abundantly clear more than once during his sold-out show – and professionally. To say that Whitcomb, who just turned 22 last week, brought the energy would be an understatement. After all, when was the last time you ...The Latest News
