James Robert Webb’s “Lost in Vega$” is one of country music’s best singles in 2024. It’s the latest first taste from the native Oklahoman’s upcoming full-length album Weekend Outlaw and deeply impacts listeners. I love how Webb revamps the anthemic country AOR sound for modern audiences. He rides the forceful drumming production without succumbing to

Alright, let’s talk about ViennaCC – the Austrian music renegade, one-man band, and all-around sonic wizard who’s out here delivering vibes like it’s his full-time job. His latest track? “Weekend Mood.” Picture this: it’s a Friday night, you’ve just punched out, and all that stands between you and 48 hours of pure, unfiltered freedom is
It’s impressive to hear how well K-Bust balances a consistent stylistic approach without ever imitating herself. This stage name for Chilean-born Karla Bustamante provides an energetic vehicle for her musical artistry; a single listen supplies ample proof that Bustamante is a “lifer”. Her third album Rebirth enjoys an unity of sound I associate with the most assured
Alice the G00n is that odd, hybrid kind of entertainer who is an effective mix between a Museum of Modern Art exhibit, and someone with mainstream, commercial prospects on the horizon. You never get the sense anything she does isn’t coming from a place of absolute authenticity, but it isn’t overly sentimental either. In fact,
There is a certain inevitability to summer, the way it arrives each year with promises of warmth, light, and the easy allure of love. We all know the kind: fleeting, drenched in sunlight, and carrying with it the weight of unfulfilled possibilities. This is the landscape The High Plains Drifters traverse in their latest single,
Nick Chandler and Delivered’s new release, a single entitled “Old Devil’s Dream”, is the band’s first foray since unleashing their 2022 full-length Silver Bird on an unsuspecting bluegrass community. Chandler’s prodigious mandolin playing, guitarist Spencer Atkinson, bassist Gary Trivette, and banjo player Jake Burrows share that rare telepathic bond that seemingly great musical units, regardless of
Know the name Phil Coyne? Maybe his musical act, The Wayward Aces? No? Well, soon you will. Akin to Allison Krauss and Union Station, Mr. Coyne and his band are epitomizing Aussie Blues, taking everything back to basics from both a music standpoint and a business marketing standpoint. Coyne clearly isn’t interested in the pomp
Man, let me tell you something groovy about NYMPHYA’s latest album, What Have I Forgotten? As a seasoned traveler of the psychedelic landscape—think back to the days when the Grateful Dead were weaving their magic, and everyone was wearing tie-dye and saying “far out”—I’ve seen a lot of music come and go. But let me

In the dynamic world of music and multimedia, Benjamin Long, also known as BennyT, stands out as a versatile artist whose talents span across videography, direction, and photography. His latest single, “Too Much Pride,” is a testament to his multifaceted abilities and deep-rooted passion for storytelling through music. BennyT’s journey to this point hasn’t been
Tanya Mezh is a name we’ll be hearing for years, if not decades, to come. Transformative talents aren’t widespread. There are plenty of workmanlike singers populating the pop landscape. However, singers who communicate personality with every line, inhabit their material, and show constant improvement are much rarer. Mezh falls into the second category. Born Tanya
Several surprises are in store for listeners who persist with Pangaea’s “Come Together” through the end. Anyone expecting a by-the-numbers cover of The Beatles’ Abbey Road classic will be disappointed. I’d be disappointed if they tried. You can’t replicate that lightning-in-a-bottle greatness. Instead, Pangaea do what they’ve done for other covers. They recast the slinky slide of
I dived into Mark Conklin’s The Gospel According to Mark uncertain about what I would hear and if it would capture my fancy. The New Jersey-born singer/songwriter has set his aims high. The 24-track opus is nothing less than a musical retelling of the New Testament’s Book of Mark featuring a plethora of artists plucked from modern
You may have heard music and songs close to what Adey Bell offers on Venus Exalted Vol. 2 – Tribute to the Dearly Departed. However, you have not heard anything quite like this. It recalls what others refer to as “music of the spheres”. Adey Bell obviously puts a high premium on invoking atmosphere and delivering
The King James Boys steeps their latest single, “I Can Hear the Savior”, in the same eternal virtues that define the best bluegrass. The five-piece band relies on a classic configuration of guitar, banjo, bass, mandolin, and fiddle without inducing eye rolls for its predictability. Informed listeners and observers of the genre would argue that
Francesca Tarantino returns with a reimagined version of her poignant track “Tragedy,” offering a fresh acoustic take that underscores her burgeoning maturity as an artist. Despite her youth, Tarantino delivers a performance imbued with a seasoned understanding of heartbreak, sounding assured and compelling throughout the song. Before we get into the song it might be
In the vast cosmos of rock ‘n’ roll, where trends flicker and fade like stars in the night sky, UniversalDice emerges as a steady beacon of authenticity—a guiding light amidst the ever-changing landscape of the genre. With their latest single, “Once Upon A Time,” Gerry Dantone and company deliver a soul-stirring anthem that not only
In “Beautiful Day,” noted indie recording artist Stephanie Bettman shines like the star she’s always been and successfully mixes two bastions of pop in a melodic marriage that you have to hear for yourself to fully appreciate. Bettman straddles a swinging rhythm while adding a dash of folksiness here and a pinch of classic vocal
With her latest single, “Run Back,” this New York City songstress proves herself a veritable force to be reckoned with in the ever-expansive realm of pop.
