Sometimes, when I’m really bored, I tune in to New York’s mainstream country radio station. (But also…we have a country radio station? I blame all you gentrifying transplants.) I have to say I don’t hate what I hear; I just […]

Belle of the West is just an explosion of talent. While it’s primarily a blues album, there’s such a profusion of joy in the moment that I’m left walking away with that more so than anything conveyed by the songs […]
I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of sad songs written in G. Especially when they’re held in such capable hands as Jeremy Pinnell’s. Before Pinnell set off on his own with his remarkable OH/KY, he trekked across the Midwest […]
