Steve Lieberman—better known as “The Gangsta Rabbi”—delivers another unapologetically chaotic release with Meet the Gangsta Rabbi (44/82) Opus166.

Gathering former Redline members and penning a new song inspired by an uncanny near-sighting of the band’s late and lamented leader Audie Blaylock is an excellent tribute to the recently deceased bluegrass giant.

The Veer Union has come a long way since their formation in 2006, and with their latest album Welcome to Dystopia, they’ve demonstrated both their growth as musicians and their ability to tap into something universal—frustration, disillusionment, and the search for meaning in a world that seems increasingly uncertain.

Some bands are built for the present moment, thriving in the here and now. Others seem to straddle time itself, borrowing from the past while bending it forward into something unmistakably their own.
