NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A dozen albums already show Wade Bowen’s musical evolution – including six studio sets, two live collections, a gospel album and an ongoing series of buddy-country hits with fellow Texan Randy Rogers – and yet he continues to prove that his music can’t be constrained by the state line with today’s announcement of his highly anticipated full-length album, Somewhere Between The Secret And The Truth, set for August 12 release via Thirty Tigers.

Concert: Ian Noe - Ribs & Blues (Raalte)

Gezien: Ian Noe

Locatie: Ribs & Blues

Plaats: Raalte

Datum: 04 Juni 2022

Ian Noe uit Kentucky weet op alle vlakken de aandacht vast te houden: als zanger, muzikant én als tekstdichter. Niet alleen gaan zijn liedjes echt ergens over, hij brengt ze ook met autoriteit, terwijl het ook nog eens klinkt als… een Dave Cobb-productie, de kampioen van de americana!

Tweede Track van: Joshua Hedley - Neon Blue

Nieuw Album! Joshua Hedley - Neon Blue , tweede track Broke Again! New West Records / V 2 BeNeLux 22 april 2022

Joshua Hedley is "a singing professor country & western", verklaart hij op zijn rauwe en geestige nieuwe album, Neon Blue. Het klinkt misschien als een clou, maar dat is het niet. Als topvioolspeler, scherpe gitarist en zanger met een granieten twang wijdt hij zijn hele leven aan de studie van dit genre. Vraag hem ernaar en hij zal het uitleggen: "Toen al mijn vrienden gingen studeren, ging ik naar Nashville. Ik was 19 jaar oud, speelde in honky tonks en kreeg veel advies.” Zijn debuut in 2018, Mr. Jukebox, toonde zijn diepgaande kennis van de geschiedenis van het land, in het bijzonder de ballads van de jaren vijftig en zestig. Zijn mentoren waren George Jones, Ray Price en Glen Campbell, maar zijn meest opmerkelijke prestatie was om zijn eigen draai aan hun stijl te geven.

New West Records/V2 release datum 22 april!

Blij verrast zijn wij met een nieuw fenomeen aan de New West stal. We mogen verwelkomen Joshua Hedley. Joshua Hedley zal zijn langverwachte nieuwe album Neon Blue op 22 april 2022 uitbrengen via New West Records. De set van 12 nummers werd gecoproduceerd door Jordan Lehning (Rodney Crowell) & Skylar Wilson (Justin Townes Earle) en gemixt door Kyle Lehning (George Strait, Randy Travis). Neon Blue is het vervolg op zijn veelgeprezen debuut Mr. Jukebox uit 2018, dat werd uitgebracht door Jack White's Third Man Records. Hedley's doorbraakdebuut toonde zijn diepgaande kennis van de geschiedenis van de countrymuziek, in het bijzonder de ballads van de jaren vijftig en zestig. Zijn mentoren waren George Jones, Ray Price en Glen Campbell, maar zijn meest opmerkelijke prestatie was om zijn eigen draai aan hun stijl te geven. Neon Blue daarentegen onderzoekt een heel ander, vaak verlaten tijdperk: het begin van de jaren negentig

Release: Carson McHone - Still Life

Carson McHone - Still Life

Release date: Friday, February 25th 2022

v2 Records

There is something almost excruciating about the places in between. The feeling of falling. A reassertion of gravity as one step leads to another but just before the foot lands. The purgatory between borders, before clarity becomes whole. 

Still Life, Carson McHone’s third album and second release with Loose Music, quivers like a tightrope, with songs about existing within such tension and surviving beyond the breaking point. These are stories of sabotage, confusion, and surrender. The album is a testament to the effort of reaching, sometimes flailing, for understanding and for balance. Still Life invites us to gasp at our own reflection and acknowledge the unsettling beauty in this breath.

Asleep At The Wheel To Release New Studio Album Half A Hundred Years
Featuring Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, George Strait, Lee Ann Womack, Lyle Lovett, and more.

There’s no mistaking the pride in the voice of long time Asleep at the Wheel front man, Ray Benson, when he sings “Start the jam, roll one up, and ice another beer. I’ll tip my hat and raise a toast to half a hundred years.” The revelrous, to put it lightly, refrain of “Half A Hundred Years” is the icing on the birthday cake for Benson and his band who are ringing in their 50th anniversary with a brand new album on October 1st, 2021. Sharing a name with this first single, Half A Hundred Years is a nineteen-track celebration of Asleep At The Wheel’s half-century-long career, filled out by a number of world-class friends of the band; a guest-list testament to Asleep at the Wheel’s reputation as a cornerstone of American music for the last 50 years. Greats like Willie Nelson, George Strait, Emmylou Harris, Lee Ann Womack, and Lyle Lovett appear throughout Half A Hundred Years on a host of classic and destined-to-be-classic Western Swing and Country tunes. Fans can listen to “Half A Hundred Years” now at this link and pre-order or pre-save Half A Hundred Years ahead of its release on Home Records in partnership with Thirty Tigers right here.

De fans hebben deze keer relatief lang moeten wachten op de nieuwe cd van de Amerikaanse countryartiest Toby Keith. Sinds zijn debuut in 1993 kwam er wel iedere een a twee jaar een nieuw album van hem uit. Deze keer duurde het maar liefst zes jaar! Uiteraard heeft de pandemie niet erg geholpen, maar het zorgde wel voor nieuwe inspiratie.

Release: Hayes Carll - Yoy Get It All

HAYES CARLL - YOU GET IT ALL
(Dualtone / Proper) V2 Records

Release date: Friday, October 29th 2021

PRODUCED BY ALLISON MOORER & KENNY GREENBERG
The country simplicity that imbues Hayes Carll’s songs can sometimes hide the social conscience and sharp humor that also runs through them, but if you want to find those things, they are there. In fact, Carll has spent over 20 years having a conversation about what it is we’re all doing here with anyone who will listen. He makes us laugh––but then he makes us cry. We judge a song’s protagonist, only for Carll to spin us around to commiserate with them.

“I like to tug at heartstrings, find commonality with others, reflect on my own life, and sometimes I do it in a lighthearted way,” says Carll. “A lot of musical styles found their way onto this record, but my first and most formative influences came from country music. This is a country singer-songwriter record. It’s just unapologetically me.”

Komt er waarachtig iets nieuws van Lilly Hiatt aan. Is het mijn nog steeds niet duidelijk of het album ook op vinyl en cd uitkomt.
Dusverre alleen het nieuws dat het verkrijgbaar wordt via cassette of digitale dowload! Geen reptje en roertje over cd en vinyl release.
Ik weet dat er nu wachttijden zijn voor vinyl persingen en dat cd’s nog amper te slijten zijn. Dus laten we afwachten, het is te goed om the laten liggen.

In Memoriam: Nanci Griffith

Nanci Griffith - Overleden: 13 augustus 2021

Zeer bewonderd door haar collega-artiesten en een toegewijd leger van fans, was Nanci Griffith, die op 68-jarige leeftijd is overleden, een voorbeeld van een stijl van muzikale verhalen vertellen met een literair tintje, gericht op de kleine details van het leven van haar personages. Nummers als Love at the Five and Dime en Gulf Coast Highway zijn vaste waarden geworden in de folk-country canon (Griffith beschreef haar muziek als "folkabilly"), en de Grammy-prijs die ze won voor haar album Other Voices, Other Rooms in 1994 leek een langverwachte beloning voor haar zorgvuldig vervaardigde oeuvre.

• Niemand in de muziek vertelt zo'n krachtige verhalen als de Texaan James McMurtry. Over leven aan de onderkant van de maatschappij, over wapens, over oorlog, over familie en tegenwoordig ook over ouder worden. John Mellencamp, die McMurtry's debuut uit 1989 produceerde, zei het al: 'James schrijft alsof hij al een heel leven geleefd heeft.' Nu, in 2021, is er na een stilte van zes jaar The Horses And The Hounds......

CALLA LILY is the follow-up to real-life siblings The Moss Brothers’ debut album, Some People I Know, which garnered praise from tastemakers including NPR, Billboard and Rolling Stone Country. The album’s lead single, “On the Road Again,” sets mood of the album and showcases the brothers’ warm, immediate harmonies. Ironically, the Moss brothers wrote “On The Road Again” — a quintessential road that explores the life of the touring musician and speaks to one’s longing for the road —
