A blues song wrapped in folkie harmonies, “The Girl With the Rattlesnake Heart” has all the hallmarks of a […]
FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/skyfactor/ Some bands are content to reuse the same blueprint for every record they produce. That’s all fine and dandy, but at the same time it simply doesn’t work for Skyfactor. Their new album A Thousand Sounds takes the swanky swagger of previous records like Signal Strength and puts it into overdrive, stretching out their enormous melodies and […]
Molly Hanmer and The Midnight Tokers offer a lively, rich take on the Americana tradition with the release Stuck in a Daydream while avoiding any hints of imitation or filler. The dozen songs included on the release range from surprisingly punky minimalist arrangements into outright blues and singer/songwriter fare pared down to the essentials and […]
Dustyy Lane’s new single, “Now It’s Christmas” is an over the top smash from Dustyy Lane’s Magical Christmas. This is a Grammy quality number with no question about it, and it wouldn’t be surprising if it were nominated for one.

TWITTER: https://twitter.com/hashtag/appalachianroadshow?src=hash Strings of a banjo and mandolin push and shove each other as they briskly march towards a melodic vocal in the first song on Barry Abernathy and Darrell Webb present Appalachian Road Show, titled “Little Black Train,” and keeping up with the swelling tempo is only half the fun in this action-packed opening track. A […]
REVERBNATION: https://www.reverbnation.com/olivertwisted8 Oliver Twisted is more than just a budding hip hop star. He’s a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and inhabits the title song of his pending collection Wrath of a Winner with a singular presence quite unlike anyone else working in that style today. The single “Wrath of a Winner” mixes his obvious stylistic command of hip hop […]
