[mp3] Kathleen Edwards: "Wapsuk" We've been waiting, for what seems like forever for new music from Kathleen Edwards . We'd heard rumors of a relationship with Justin Vernon from various internet sources over the past months, and yesterday we got our first listen to "Wapsuk" recorded with and produced by Mr. Vernon. Blogs like Pitchfork and Stereogum lit up with the news that Bon Iver had just done something with some Canadian "folkie" named Kathleen Edwards. We're certainly happy about the attention Edwards is getting for the new track, but it's always [...]

There are any number of reasons why an album might get held up for release after production is completed, but we wouldn't imagine that a liver transplant is high on that list. But leave it to iconic southern blues rocker Gregg Allman to add that particular wrinkle to Low Country Blues , his long-awaited and masterful solo project arriving January 18 (Rounder). Working with esteemed producer and musicologist T-Bone Burnett, a veteran who knows a thing or two about roots music and career revival, Allman takes a sure-footed step forward on his first solo album in thirteen [...]
Mellencamp visits country, blues and rock 'n' roll ghosts John Mellencamp is an artist whose depth continues to impress and surprise. His populist anthems of the 1980s demonstrated heartland roots that Springsteen could only write of, and even as he was charting with "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A." and "Lonely Ol' Night," he was filling out his albums with the social commentary of "Rain on the Scarecrow" and co-founding Farm Aid with Willie Nelson and Neil Young. His commentary continued to mature and turned naturally introspective, and though he continued to place singles on the [...]
Robert Plant 's first full-length since 2007's Grammy-winning blockbuster Raising Sand with Allison Krauss (and T-Bone Burnett), the masterful Band of Joy (September 14, Rounder) explores a similar stylistic path: bluesy Americana, dark Appalachian folk and barstool roots rock but with a darker, grimier streak. Plant's vocals, a raspy instrument of nuance and unleashed power, binds it all together with producer and in-demand guitarist Buddy Miller aptly filling Burnett's role with moody intensity. In the end it is a uniquely American project shepherded by one of classic British rock's most revered and recognized singers. [...]
"My first real solo album" is how the former Barenaked Ladies founder Steven Page describes the aptly tltled Page One (September 28, Rounder/Zoe) , his first project since splitting with the Ladies in 2009 . Co-produced with John Fields and featuring co-writes with longtime collaborator Stephen Duffy, the new album was also, says Page, "insanely fun, creative, and shockingly stress-free." He describes the dozen songs as "a genre hopping tribute to the music I love, the music I grew up with" [...]

Anyone who may have doubted that John Mellencamp 's recent retrospective box set On the Rural Route 7609 would indelibly mark a significant turning point in the famed Hoosier rocker's career need only take a listen to his new August 17 album No Better Than This (Rounder). Recorded using a single microphone and an Ampex tape recorder half a century old by legendary producer T-Bone Burnett, Mellencamp's thirteen new raw and ragged songs manage to toss in every stylistic influence of traditional, uniquely American music: country and folk ("Clumsy Old World"), bluegrass and rockabilly ("Coming [...]
At eight years old, Brooklyn-based singer and songwriter Clare Burson first heard about the harrowing wartime experiences of her grandmother Mimi. The story of a 19-year-old German Jew who managed to flee Nazi Germany on the eve of Kristallnacht became something of an obsession for Burson -- "it's haunted me for as long as I can remember" -- as she tried to imagine her grandmother's life and times, of persecution and escape and, she observes, "to grapple with that history and come to terms with it myself." These reflections serve as the inspiring catalyst for Silver [...]

After nearly twenty years of creating some of the most acclaimed and enduring modern folk of our time, singer/songwriter Carrie Newcomer says she's "peeled back another musical and emotional layer" on her forthcoming February 23 album Before and After (Rounder), adding that "there is something unguarded and naked about this album." As with her fine 2008 album Geography of Light , Newcomer's penchant for opulent production, impeccable ear for melody and warm, inviting vocal style make Before and After a sterling example of contemporary adult songwriting . You won't find [...]
Woody Guthrie is the train whistle blowing off in the distance. He is the smell of the coal exhaust. He is the drip of sweat rolling down the back of your neck telling you that it's either time to stop, or time to press on. He embodied the sticker "this machine kills Fascist's" and he is out to do more good...postumously. Now through a box set compilation some of his greatest work and some hidden gems unearthed in a Brooklyn basement, Woody shares his music yet again. My Dusty Road comes [...]
Onetime component of the vastly-influential alt-country originators Uncle Tupelo, Jay Farrar has traveled an arguably harder road than ex-bandmate Jeff Tweedy. While Wilco draws inspiration from the odder corners of post-Radiohead skronk and so reaps a megabuck harvest of acclaim, Farrar's Son Volt continues to burnish the spare and anthracite-hard aesthetic of high lonesome. This interview by Ron Garmon.

Oops. Looks like I missed posting anything in the month of May. Ah, how one gets lost. Which I guess is an apt comparison to my relationship with Son Volt. For an album or two in a previous century, Jay Farrar had what I was looking for. Grit, wistfulness, steel guitar. And then there was Wide Swing Tremolo , and I don't know. When I saw that Son Volt had a new album out an a free and legal MP3 to post, my first though was something along the lines of hoping [...]
MP3: Son Volt - "Down To The Wire " from American Central Dust, due July 7 on Rounder. No, it's not the Buffalo Springfield outtake, although I can totally hear Jay Farrar singing that. Did Uncle Tupelo used to...
