Americana artist Ruth Theodore’s latest release comes in blue (literally). It’s a raw, lyrically intriguing, poetic album that plots Theodore’s love life. ‘Full Metal Jacket’ is a jazzy standout that is fast-paced and includes very interesting harmonies. It’s the kind of track that makes you want to bounce up and down, makes you want to …
Ok, now this is a big hitter. Featuring tracks from Luke Combs, Megan Moroney and Lainey Wilson, this album is an essential for any country music fan. The inclusion of newer artists like Conner Smith and Tanner Adell adds something even more special (their tracks are among the best on the 29-track album). As far …
Holliday’s low, raspy voice gets this album going from off with the title track ‘Song To Myself’. It’s bluesy, featuring a shuffling rhythm and a real honky-tonk feel (helped along by the brass band and tinkling piano).

‘Cavalry’ by name, cavalry by nature. Schmude explodes onto this EP with ‘Tumbleweed (Roll On)’, it’s a huge track that instantly makes an impact.

Taking that old adage ‘this is a man’s world’ and turning it on its head, Carter Faith smashes through country music with this.
