    Ian Noe Dropped One of Roots Music's Best Albums. Then He Disappeared (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Most days for Ian Noe follow the same routine. He wakes up in his home in Bowling Green, Kentucky, where’s lived for almost a decade, makes coffee, smokes a couple cigarettes, makes another cup of coffee, picks up his guitar and resumes work on the song he was toying around with the night before. He does this basically every morning until noon, at which point Noe might throw on The Breakfast Club or The Birdcage on VHS in the background, or go for a walk in his local park. Either way, he spends

    Leon Bridges Shakes Up His Sound Once Again (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The throughline of Leon Bridges’ decade-plus career has been his voice. Because Bridges’ honeysuckle tenor lends itself so naturally to early-Sixties soul, Bridges got pegged as a Sam Cooke incarnate with his 2015 debut Coming Home. He’s since proven that his smooth-crooning vocals are just as expressive whether he’s toying with contemporary R&B (2018’s watermark Good Thing), waxing poetic about his home state of Texas over Khruangbin’s chilled-out surf rock (2020’s Texas Sun) or singing about h

    Watch Chris Stapleton Reunite Tom Petty's Heartbreakers to Open 2026 Americana Honors (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The Heartbreakers have never formally reunited in full since Tom Petty’s death in 2017. That changed Wednesday night in Nashville during the Americana Honors & Awards show when the band — Mike Campbell, Benmont Tench, Stan Lynch, and Ron Blair — backed up Chris Stapleton for a performance of classic Petty songs. First, Stapleton tackled both “Breakdown” and “American Girl” with Stan Lynch on drums, the Heartbreakers original drummer, behind the kit. By the time the performance had ended, the ent

    Nate Amos Is an Acclaimed Songwriter. He's Not Sure How That Happened, Either (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The first time Nate Amos refers to himself as a songwriter in conversation, he uses air quotes. “Now that I’m a songwriter, quote unquote….” Amos says offhand during a recent interview. Why does one of the most widely hailed songwriters of recent years — the guy whose originals have been covered by Waxahatchee, Cameron Winter, Hayley Williams, Jeff Tweedy, and MJ Lenderman in the last 18 months alone — feel that those quote marks are needed? “I always thought of myself much more in terms of comp

    Alabama Shakes Are Back -- and Breaking New Ground -- on 'I Must Be Dreaming' (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    It’s been fifteen years since Alabama Shakes released their debut EP, which catapulted the small-town southern band into an unlikely few years of stardom. The group’s early music was lo-fi, vintage-leaning, and just twee enough to make the scrappy garage rockers an emblem of early-mid aughts Urban Outfitters hipsterdom. Brittany Howard, the band’s lead singer and charismatic frontwoman, has spent much of the past decade refuting that notion. With the band’s daring second album, 2015’s Sound + Co
