Mickey Newbury Looks Like Rain
Elvis Presley’s performance of “An American Trilogy” in his groundbreaking 1972 global satellite concert and subsequent multi-platinum album Aloha From Hawaii helped bring one singer-songwriter to wider attention, far beyond his Nashville base. The portmanteau of traditional, patriotic songs from the 19th century was first assembled by Mickey Newbury who, back in country music’s stomping ground, was already making a serious name for himself. Starting out as a jobbing songwriter, he fashioned hits for Roy Orbison, Tom Jones, Kenny Rogers and many more, while also working tirelessly to give others a leg-up. He persuaded old-school country chart regular Roger...

Ryan Davis & The Roadhouse Band New Threats From The Soul
This Ryan Davis is a happening type. A longtime mainstay of the Louisville, Kentucky, alternative arts and music scenes, he also co-founded the multimedia Cropped Out festival and runs his own Sophomore Lounge record label. He’s also a virtuoso storyteller, whose songs are mostly vast unfurling narratives with more verses than a poetry anthology. Davis served time previously in State Champion, across whose four albums of mostly familiar alt.country – think Son Volt, Silver Jews – there are tantalising hints on tracks like “Death Preferences”, “There Is A Highlights Reel” and “Brain Days” of the music he’s currently making...

Penomeco’s “My Chick”: A New Sound of Artistic Freedom in 2025
Penomeco is in a rare position right now—post-label, post-crew, but somehow more expansive than ever. His latest single, “My Chick,” featuring Lil Cherry, feels like a recalibration of what artistic freedom can sound like when it isn’t forced to prove itself. It’s raw, confident, and self-contained—a mission statement disguised as a late-night ride. This isn’t about genre exploration so much as genre erosion. There are traces of Afrobeats woven into the percussion, but they’re filtered through Penomeco’s restless instincts. The verses stretch, contract, and warp around the beat like he’s reprogramming it as he goes. It feels less like...

Tarric Confronts the Quiet Collapse on “Lying With You”
It’s easy to talk about love when everything is going right. Tarric ’s new single “Lying With You” is about what happens when it all quietly falls apart—and you stay anyway. Built on glimmering synth textures and hollowed-out percussion, the track is emotionally raw but musically composed, like a breakup conversation in a perfectly curated gallery space. Tarric doesn’t scream through the pain—he whispers it with precision. “You make me say things I would not do / Cause I’ve been lying with you,” he sings, peeling back the layers of emotional self-distortion that creep into relationships like mold under...Recent Posts
