John Prine contributes to track (Press Release) Matt Urmy's new album 'Out Of The Ashes,' out March 31st, is a giant leap forward for the Nashville storyteller who has harnessed his weathered singing and old-school country and folk storytelling. Mary Gauthier calls Urmy "a rare poet and visionary," and Country Standard Time says Urmy "has one of those old souls that you read about, and a big ol' humanist heart a la John Prine." 'Out Of The Ashes' was co-produced by the late "Cowboy" Jack Clement, the Nashville legend who helped pioneer rock 'n' roll at Sun Studios. The album was one of the last Cowboy sang on, and it was almost never completed. Urmy met Cowboy in 2010 when he cold-called his idol asking him to be his headliner at his 3rd & Lindsley show in Nashville. Cowboy agreed to perform at the show, and the next morning he invited Urmy to his legendary home studio, The Cowboy Arms Hotel & Recording Spa, and asked if he wanted to record an album.  City Mouse.

In a wonderful night celebrating the thriving UK and International Americana music scene, an audience of guests, AMA-UK delegates, members of the music industry and the public were treated to performances from Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Richard Thompson and five-time GRAMMY® award-winner Mary Chapin Carpenter. There were performances from UK artists Yola Carter, William the Conqueror, Peter Bruntnell, Danni Nicholls, Lewis & Leigh and Ethan Johns, alongside International Album of the Year Award winner Sam Outlaw. In attendance lending transatlantic support were Nashville-based Americana Music Association℠ delegates Jed Hilly (Executive Director) and Michelle Aquilato (Americana Honors & Awards producer), along with artists Jim Lauderdale and Angaleena Presley.  (Press Release) Shelby Earl’s first two albums earned the kind of raves any musician would kill for. Upon hearing her 2011 debut, Burn the Boats, NPR’s Ann Powers called Earl her “new favorite songwriter,” and she wasn’t alone. Accolades followed from Rolling Stone to the Wall Street Journal and a million music sites in between that positioned her somewhere to the left of Neko Case, a few blocks from Sharon Van Etten, catercorner to Angel Olsen. She toured everywhere, playing with the likes of Loudon Wainwright, Rhett Miller, and Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie, who spoke for many people when he said Earl had “the most heartbreakingly beautiful voice in Seattle.”
Two years later, she followed up with the equally powerful Swift Arrows (produced by Damien Jurado), and returned to the touring trenches, startling audiences around the world with songs that laid bare an inner landscape full of darkness and loss, as well as the defiant resolution not to be consumed by them. Both records are gorgeous, painstakingly crafted, and, not to put too fine a point on anything, full of heavy emotional weather. (Not for nothing did Powers observe that Earl’s writes “for those of us who have been through a few things.”)  MEMPHIS, Tenn. (Press Release) — Four years ago singer Dawn Tyler Watson reached the top five at the Blues Foundation’s 2017 International Blues Challenge. This year, she left Memphis a winner after grabbing Best Band honors. Not only did Watson wow the judges with her powerhouse vocals, but she did so only months after having triple bypass surgery. Her victory at the IBC, the world’s largest and most prestigious blues music competition, should serve as a launching pad for the Montreal Blues Society-nominated songstress who has been has been hailed as “one of Canada’s true blues treasures.”
For Al Hill, winning Best Solo/Duo Award represents long-overdue recognition for the hard-working musician. The Michigan native racked up numerous blues awards in his home state before moving to Nashville in 2008. The winner of the Nashville Blues Society’s local challenge, Hill probably is best known for his role as music director for soul legend Bettye LaVette. Hill, whose gritty, soulful sound impressed the judges, was double IBC winner as he also was chosen Best Solo Guitarist in the Best Instrumentalists category. Brody Buster finished second to Hill as the Best Solo/Duo act, but he didn’t go home empty-handed. Buster, representing the Kansas City Blues Society, was named Best Harmonica Player. The other Best Instrumental Award, for top guitarist in a band, went to Montreal-based Ben Racine, who frequently collaborates with Dawn Tyler Watson. Fellow Canadian JW Jones, representing the Ottawa Blues Society, earned Best Self-Produced CD honors for his album High Temperature. Worthy of recognition too are the Souliz Band featuring Sugar and Spice(Suncoast Blues Society) and Rae Gordon & the Backseat Drivers (Cascade Blues Association) for finishing second and third, respectively, in the Best Band category. |
