No recent releases have gotten me that excited lately but the new William Clark Green comes out in a week. Looking forward to that.
IV and the Strange Band released a new single today and announced their debut album out June 17th. For what it’s worth, Coleman Williams is the great grandson of Hank Williams.
Hailey Whitters new album came out today and I've been listening to this on repeat more than anything else in awhile. So good.
William Clark Green is out today. Just ok. Was hoping to a return to a more Ringling Road-esque style. Some good songs but quite a bit of meh/filler.
I like the Hailey album, but it feels a tad pandering to me in a way her first album didn't at all. Just a lot of songs that are checking boxes off the "generic country song topics" list. Also, is it a controversial opinion to want a moratorium on country artists writing songs about marijuana?
Ian Noe is one of my favorites so I'll be spinning his a lot today but I'm pretty excited to dive into the new Maren Morris as well
Yeah, really can't get enough of the Ian Noe record these past few days. It's been rainy and gloomy in northern Michigan, and this album is hitting the spot.
Yeah the new Ian Noe is pretty easily my favorite album so far this year. Was supposed to see him tomorrow night in Nashville but he just canceled due to covid :(
Lyle Lovett's first new album in a decade having a song called "Pants Is Overrated" is very on-brand. Looking forward to this.
Missed Austin Lucas play at a dive bar in STL, big sad. Laura Jean Grace was there too, which is salt in the wound.
Also, when did Keith Whitley’s Miami (My Amy?) become a Tik Tok meme song? Not complaining because that rules but still a surprise nevertheless.
Paul Cauthen's new album, Country Coming Down, is fun. https://glidemagazine.com/272758/pa...ry-music-on-country-coming-down-album-review/
I know I've said it before but something about that guy just does not sit right with me. He has some good songs but for the most part I feel like I'm watching/listening to someone take the piss.
I know Willi Carlisle is probably not for everybody but wow what a song. Live performance even better. Really looking forward to the album in July.
