Country music has never had much use for perfect relationships. Give it the couple that fights, threatens to leave, slams a few doors and somehow winds up slow dancing in the kitchen by midnight. That’s where the good songs usually live. Kathy Ross understands that territory perfectly on her new single, “When We Kiss.” “No,

King Pine’s “Still Be Friends,” from the forthcoming Running Out Of Time, is like a song that comes after the argument, when all the explanations have failed, when two people are left staring at the wreckage and wondering how they ever got there.

The first thing “Dancing in Paris” gets right is its pace. Michael Dulin’s piano comes in bright and easy, but the music has somewhere to be.

Nick Chandler and Delivered’s Look For Me is a technically precise, highly disciplined study in 1980s-era traditional bluegrass style. Across ten tightly structured tracks—most hovering right around the two-and-a-half-minute mark—the Western North Carolina outfit displays a masterclass in dynamic control, vocal arrangement, and instrumental balance.

Sullyman the Third’s jubilance as a hardcore, acoustic, old-school indie rock group likely comes from the fact they’re fans first. Citing iconic sixties band The Eagles as one of their premiere inspirations, John Sullivan and his cronies are able to mix references firmly planting them as sixties and seventies kids with their own, unique spin

Rebekah Snyder doesn’t so much sing “Someday Lullaby” as hold it together in real time. The Nashville country ballad arrives wrapped in all the familiar comforts of the form: delicate Travis-style fingerpicking, ghostly electric guitar, slow-moving pedal steel, and a vocal close enough to feel almost whispered. But beneath that softness sits a story built

Paraphrasing, it’s safe to say Mark Newman epitomizes all music being personal, and all music being local. He’s smart in his ability to reference and revere the altar of folk, country, blues, and alt-rock figures that inspire him, while being able to craft his own unique sound as an independent music artist. His latest work

Hecojeni’s new single Trampoline Girl is pure, unfettered alternative. The kind of song you’d hear regularly on stations like my native Alice @ 97.3 or Star 101.3 on a Saturday afternoon, off to a picnic at the park, a trip to the museum, or an afternoon at the movies. Trampoline Girl has this breeziness, deliberately
