Forever Muscle Shoals by Chrissy Poland, is as traditionally good as it is contemporary.

Soul, blues, gospel, jazz, rock, and other influences all filter through the arrangements, giving the record a warmth
From what there is to be said about Wilson Banjo Co. They do not sound like a group trying to recreate the past or fit neatly into a bluegrass formula. Instead, they take the traditions they clearly love and give them room to breathe, creating music that feels familiar while still carrying its own identity.
Anour is making her mark as a singular musical act with the release of her eponymous debut album, sporting fourteen new tracks.

Put “Burning Love” on without reading the credits first, and something curious happens: your brain reaches for a memory it doesn’t actually have. The original Leo Sawikin title tricks you into expecting something you’ve heard before. What arrives instead is a completely different animal, and the gap between expectation and reality is where this song
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
Independent music artist Jim Duff has returned with two gravelly, sentimental tracks highlighting true American patriotism and the kind of rugged vulnerability that has set him apart as a unique, musical act.

Michael Dulin continues to demonstrate why he remains one of smooth jazz’s most respected pianists with the release of “On The Rocks,” a single that reflects both his technical pedigree and his unwavering sense of musical taste.

If you spend enough nights in bars with neon beer signs buzzing overhead and a band crammed into the corner trying to keep the dance floor alive, you develop a pretty good radar for authenticity.

After more than four decades on the road, Gary Brewer has earned the right to reflect on where life has taken him. With “I’m Just Ramblin’,” his first release for Pinecastle Records, the Kentucky bluegrass veteran delivers a deeply personal song that feels less like a performance and more like a conversation with listeners who
Rebekah Snyder’s new opus is Small Town, a musical celebration of homespun values, classic American patriotism, and the power of the individual in the context of support by their community.
