By the time Christmas Eve arrives, most holiday music has already asked us to feel about six different kinds of wonderful. The tree is glowing, the whole family made it home, and apparently nobody had a difficult year. Chris Chitsey and Bee Smith’s “Be Mary” starts after those songs have worn out their welcome. There’s

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 Austin, Texas artist has a gift for making uncertainty sound enormous
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. It moves with the comfortable momentum of a good walk through a city: no hurry, no dawdling, plenty to look at along the way. URL: https://michaeldulin.net/dancing-in-paris That distinction matters

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. Rather than chasing modern crossover trends, the ensemble doubles down on classic
“Freedom Chillin’ (Dave Aude Remix)” by Courtney Elle is a version that offers a second perspective, taking the original invitation to let go and giving it a sharper, more kinetic presentation. The familiar groove remains, but the remix changes how it occupies the room. It has a pronounced dance sensibility, a snappier rhythmic profile, and
Claude Carmichael turns a remarkable career in the New York music scene into a deeply personal debut on Tennessee Hill. A veteran session singer and film music producer whose credits include work with Billy Joel, the Grateful Dead, and Paul McCartney, Carmichael brings seasoned musicianship to this collection of original songs. Recorded with Grammy-winning engineer and
Forever Muscle Shoals by Chrissy Poland, is as traditionally good as it is contemporary. Instead of treating its setting as a museum piece, the album uses the musical language associated with Muscle Shoals as a living, breathing foundation. 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. She has the kind of organic, alt-pop sound of talent emerging from the 2000s, unapologetically individualistic while capitalizing on a growing trend kicking up a storm in the independent and alternative music sectors.
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

Bluegrass sensation Ashleigh Graham and Appalachian Highway deliver a great performance with “Pinewood Prison,” a modern yet traditional bluegrass recording that highlights both exceptional talent and a deep respect for the genre’s traditions. The song showcases the band’s polished sound while reflecting the authenticity that has become a defining characteristic of their music. URL: https://ashleighgrahammusic.com/
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
