Filmed in “Big Sky Country” Montana, the video pays tribute to nostalgia, friendship and adventure. Several prominent up-and-coming actors are featured, including: Jack Quaid (son of Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan, whose credits include The Hunger Games, Steven Soderbergh’s Logan Lucky, HBO’s Vinyl, directed by Martin Scorsese, and Amazon’s upcoming series The Boys), Sasha Frolova (Red Sparrow), and Erin Moriarty (Blood Father, The Miracle Mile). The video was directed by Laurence Jacobs, who has directed and produced videos for artists including: Andrew Bird, Steve Martin, Elvis Costello, O.A.R., and Valerie June. Los Angeles, CA - As part of an ongoing campaign to commemorate Creedence Clearwater Revival’s 50th anniversary, Craft Recordings is pleased to present an official short form audio visual project offering a fresh take on their timeless standard, “Have You Ever Seen The Rain.”Following the “Fortunate Son” video moment earlier this year, “Have You Ever Seen The Rain” conveys a wholly different dimension of Creedence Clearwater Revival's enduring relevance – separate from politics or American traditions, something more personal and eternally youthful. Filmed in “Big Sky Country” Montana, the project pays tribute to nostalgia, friendship and adventure. Directed by Laurence Jacobs—who has directed and produced videos for artists including Andrew Bird, Steve Martin, Elvis Costello and Valerie June—the project features Jack Quaid (The Hunger Games, Logan Lucky, HBO’s Vinyl and Amazon’s upcoming series, The Boys), Sasha Frolova (FOX’s Red Sparrow, Netflix’s Snowpiercer, KENZO’s The Everything) and Erin Moriarty (Marvel’s Jessica Jones, Amazon’s The Boys). "I knew I wanted to tell a coming-of-age story,” Jacobs explains. “Something distinctly real that encapsulated identity. Not teenage years, but specifically your early 20s when you’re still growing and trying to become someone.” The result is a story that captures early adulthood’s wild rush of nostalgia and freedom, mixed with heartbreak and melancholy–emotions of which the song is emblematic.

MECO was recorded and mixed by Bradfute in his Tone Chaparral Studios in Madison, Tennessee and mastered by Jim DeMain at Yes Master Studios in Nashville. A rhythm section all in himself, multi-instrumentalist Chris Scruggs lent his talents not only on drums, percussion, and bass, but also steel guitar.

Credit: Mike Brooks On the heels of their well-revered 2017 album The Native and recent signing to Bloodshot Records, Vandoliers will release their third album and label debutForever on February 22, 2019 (pre-order). Rolling Stone Country is premiering the album’s first single, “Troublemaker.”
Produced and recorded by Adam Hill (producer for recent albums from Low Cut Connie, The Bo-Keys, Deer Tick, Don Bryant, Zeshan B) at American Recording Studios in Memphis, TN, the band’s third album (and first with Bloodshot) Forever is a mix of youthful and defiant punk, rugged Red Dirt country, and vibrant Tejano. The album’s 10 songs blend emblematic rock ‘n’ roll with bold horns, violin, and a slather of twang reflecting where the band is from, where they have been and, eventually, where they’ll be headed. It’s regional and universal all the same.  Husband and wife duo Blue Honey, consisting of Troy Brooks and Kassie Jordan-Brooks, are excited to announce their upcoming sophomore album, Sweet Rebellion, is now available for pre-order on iTunes today. The pre-order comes at a discounted price and with two instant gratification tracks, "August Without Us" and "Can You See Me." The album will be available on January 25, 2019.
"We are more excited about this long awaited album than we’ve been for any of our projects in the past. Although we love all our projects, this one really showcases what you would see in a live Blue Honey show," says Kassie. "From the guitar riffs to the lyrical content, to the focus on vocal harmony, this self produced album is just 'us.' We truly hope our fans love it as much as we do!"  "The Vegabonds soar with catchy, desert-tinged rocker 'Everything I Need'...one of the standout tracks on the upcoming album. The song takes on a sort of desert meets surf rock vibe and the band spaces out with psychedelic instrumentals and an insanely catchy chorus. The song is vaguely reminiscent of Tom Petty and even Chris Isaak but with a tinge of Southern boogie. There's also a fiery guitar solo that leads into a spacier, slower groove and captures the depth of what The Vegabonds are truly capable of."
--GlideMagazine.com, December 7, 2018 THE VEGABONDS--the Nashville-based alternative southern rock band--are gearing up to release V, their upcoming full-length album on January 18 via withBlue Élan Records. Today (12/7) they've partnered with GlideMagazine.com to unveil a lyric video for their new single, "Everything I Need." Click here to watch the animated, outlaw-themed video. "'Everything I Need' was written after a cross country tour from Nashville to California and back in late 2016," says Daniel Allen of THE VEGABONDS. "It was a music and comedy tour, so we were on the road with comedians the whole time, and every night was completely unique and different. Our stops in Las Vegas and L.A. were the main inspirations for this song. It's based on all the characters we met on tour in those towns, and the experiences we went through as a band and individuals. 'Everything I Need' is fast and full speed from the start which is the same way that whole tour was."  Credit: Michael Craft
Jeremy Nail’s internationally acclaimed 2016 release, My Mountain, produced by Alejandro Escovedo, conveyed an intensely personal journey that stemmed from his own harrowing health crisis. On his latest album, Live Oak, Nail once again showcases his poetic, personal landscape of songs but this time takes the listener on a different kind of path, one past pain, to determination to not only survive, but thrive.
Inspired by the national story of a criminal poisoning, and the miraculous treatment & survival, of the Treaty Oak (Live Oak) tree in Austin nearly 30 years ago, the title track to Nail's album demonstrates the inherent symbolism between his battle with, and survival from, a rare form of cancer, in which one of his legs had to be amputated, and the Live Oak’s survival. Today, TDC is honored to premiere the video for the tender and uplifting, "Live Oak." Filmed outside Austin, the serene, yet captivating piece was created by sister/brother team Rachael and Michael Craft who exquisitely balance the imagery of a post-rain peacefulness and life affirming re-birth between the sturdy Oak and Nail's own voyage of perseverance. Nail comments, “Live Oak represents the healing powers of nature and music. Rachael and Michael Craft captured a subtle, serene quality that makes the song feel at home.” Directed by Rachael Craft Cinematography & editing by Michael Craft Enjoy, and share, the video above. For more information visit: Official Website/Facebook/Twitter  AUSTIN, Texas — The ’60s may have been a time when girls searched for clues in his kiss and pondered whether sweet-talkin’ guys would still love them tomorrow, but it was also the decade when they started questioning the status quo; by the time the ’70s dawned, they knew what they wanted: r-e-s-p-e-c-t, in the house, the House and everywhere else.
On their second album, The Whole Shebang, Charlie Faye & the Fayettes hark back to that time on 12 tracks packed like suitcases full of sassy harmonies and swingin’ soul, while folding in modern-day perspectives — and a determination to dance through the madness enveloping our world. Due out February 8, 2019, The Whole Shebang builds on the success of 2016’s Charlie Faye & the Fayettes. This time, Charlie Faye and backing vocalists BettySoo and Akina Adderley arranged their retro-pop harmonies together, perfectly evoking the musical essence of a time when innocence collided with awareness that change had to come — for everyone. Celebrating the former while acknowledging the latter, songwriter and lead singer Faye deftly balances simple odes to falling in love (“1-2-3-4,” “Riding High”) with declarations of independence (the first single, “I Don’t Need No Baby”) and calls to wake up, get wise, speak up, organize (“You Gotta Give it Up [Party Song]”).  Courtesy of the Artist BLOOMINGTON, IL -- "The story of my life's written on my skin," sings Edward David Anderson on the devilishly sardonic “Bad Tattoos” from his new album Chasing Butterflies (Black Dirt Records - Oct. 19, 2018). The song, like the artist, is brutally honest and has a worn feel; like it's coming from someone that has been around and put in the miles. "I don't think I could have written these tunes when I was 25," Anderson explains. "Everything I've done, the people I've met, all the places I've been, have brought me to this moment."

Ned has spent the last year on the road in support of his debut album Sagebrush, which was released last November and debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart.

LeDoux, a popular draw for the fans at the National Finals Rodeo, was invited back for a two-night stand during the milestone 60th Annual Wrangler National Finals Rodeo performing at the Silverton Casino on December 6 & 7.
