Stream "Somethine To Say" via YouTube On June 22, the forward-thinking folk rocker Reuben Bidez will release his second EP Something To Say. Ahead of the EP's arrival next Friday, Bidez released "Don't Let Me Die," a sharp, swaggering pop song about a life lived far too carelessly. "We all feel the effects of overstimulation in our culture. We never want the party to never stop," says Bidez. "The song started off on a personal level with a friend’s battle with drug addiction, but ended up being more about the destructive pattern in our culture. We all push ourselves to our limits, and when we reach that limit, we just borrow from tomorrow. Eventually, we hit a breaking point. It’s a heavy subject. Ironically, this is one of the happier sounding songs I’ve ever recorded." Glide Magazine recently shared the EP's title track, stating "Bidez is able to soar as he shows off his skills as a poignant songwriter and a confident rock and roller."

On August 24, Ryan Culwell returns with The Last American, his third full-length album and first release in more than three years. The collection marks his debut on Missing Piece Records and captures Culwell at his finest as he crafts poignant portraits of ordinary Americans just trying to get by in these trying times. Today, Culwell shares "Can You Hear Me," the first single released from The Last American. Rolling Stone Country said the song "is a mellifluent blast of Eighties dream-pop that evokes both the soul-searching lyricism and huge choruses of Springsteen... it's an immersive, glossy listen, made for late nights, quality headphones or, even better, as the soundtrack to an episode of Stranger Things." Watch the video for "Can You Hear Me" via YouTube: https://youtu.be/KLsairHcw_U (Los Angeles, CA) June 12, 2018 – Blue Élan Records is excited to release the debut single from California Country artist AMY WILCOX. “Bandwagon” is available for download on June 15, 2018. Listeners will be immediately pulled in to WILCOX’s world on “Bandwagon” -- and to the upbeat sound of freedom borne out of heartache and rebirth. As Amy croons in this upbeat summer bop, “Thought if you did what they do and you followed the rules it would get you a perfect life . . . get off the bandwagon. Cause everybody’s got a little spark inside, and maybe it’s time to set the world on fire.” WILCOX spent a number of years in Nashville and attended Vanderbilt University. It did not take long for her music career to take-off opening for Nashville staples like Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton, Kellie Pickler and Brothers Osborne, while also commanding her own residency at Nashville mainstay, Third & Lindsley. Buck Owens' Last Capitol Album, COUNTRY SINGER’S PRAYER to be Released via Omnivore August 17th6/14/2018 Watch the trailer HERE LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Omnivore Recordings, in conjunction with the Buck Owens Estate, will release Country Singer’s Prayer, Buck Owens’ final Capitol album from 1975, which has remained unissued until now. Street date for CD and Digital is August 17, 2018. By late 1975, Buck’s unequaled success at Capitol Records was finally winding down. His singles were no longer topping the charts, and after the untimely death of bandmate Don Rich the year before, Buck was starting to lose the fire that drove him through an unprecedented run of groundbreaking hits in the ’60s and early ’70s. His contract with Capitol was due to expire at the end of the year, and he and the Buckaroos readied one final album for the label in November 1975. NASHVILLE, TN - Platinum-selling band, Sister Hazel, teamed up with Shatterproof, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to ending the devastation addiction causes families, in releasing their latest song, “You Won’t See Me Again,” from their chart-topping Billboard EP, Water. The video premiered on Billboard today. Read the interview and watch the video HERE. Singer and guitarist for the band, Drew Copeland, co-wrote the song alongside hit songwriter, Neil Carpenter, while watching his brother-in-law suffer with alcohol use disorder. Lead vocalist, Ken Block, has also been in recovery for alcohol and drug addiction for 15 years, which made the song even more significant and more moving for the band. Watch HERE Last month, Low Cut Connie released their critically-acclaimed fifth studio album Dirty Pictures (Part 2) that was just named one of Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums of 2018 so far. In his four-star review, David Fricke called the record "a stand-alone triumph of missionary zeal." In the midst of a summer tour with Social Distortion and upcoming festival appearances at Rock The Garden, Newport Folk Festival, Pickathon and more, Low Cut Connie has shared a video for their cover of Alex Chilton's "Hey! Little Child" from Dirty Pictures (Part 2). June, 2018 NASHVILLE, TN - Emily Hackett debuted her brand new single "Good Intentions" at CMA Fest's Radio Disney Country Stage yesterday.

Love Canon’s ‘Cover Story’ Out 7/13 w/ Guests Jerry Douglas, Aoife O’Donovan, Keller Williams6/13/2018 Cover Story is available to pre-order → https://clg.lnk.to/yNLcf “Kyrie Eleison” will be available on all digital platforms 6/8 → https://clg.lnk.to/x7xp9 CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA -- LOVE CANON brings their acoustic-roots sensibilities to the electronic-tinged pop hits of the 80s and 90s to create Cover Story, their 4th album, due out on Organic Records July 13, 2018. With Cover Story, LOVE CANON delivers a fresh set of classics, crossing genres to recount music of decades past from the likes of Peter Gabriel, Billy Joel, Depeche Mode, and Paul Simon. The self-produced album hosts a plethora of special guests, including Jerry Douglas, Aoife O’Donovan, Keller Williams, Michael Cleveland, and Eric Krasno, among others. The band’s diehard fans are music lovers first and are drawn to the charismatic and wide-ranging vocal stylings of lead singer and guitarist Jesse Harper matched with banjo master Adam Larrabee, mandolin pickin’ by Andy Thacker, Darrell Muller holding down the low-end on standup bass, and the slick sounds of resonator guitar king Jay Starling on the Beard MA-6. It’s acoustic rock! Acclaimed fiddler Alex Hargreaves [Turtle Island Quartet, Sarah Jarosz] does all of the fiddling on this record with the exception of two tracks, and he occasionally joins the band on tour. |
