Tift Merritt, “Another Country” Fantasy
by Brad Tucker Tift Merritt’s third release, Another Country, comes in the wake of a solitary stay in Paris. Merritt holed up with a guitar and a piano, penning the new album after four years away from the studio. The opening track “Something to Me” brings to mind early Jackson Browne, both in its lively […]

Josh Gracin, “We Weren’t Crazy” Lyric Street
by LK You’d be crazy to miss the latest work of Michigan native and Idol graduate Josh Gracin. The long-awaited follow-up to his self-titled debut album is a sure bet for a good listen. Gracin’s charming vocals are paired with excellent musical arrangements to produce a truly enjoyable and masterful album. While it doesn’t lose […]
Chris Cagle “My Life’s Been A Country Song” Capitol Nashville
by Jesse Hill Chris Cagle is forty years old. That ain’t young in these the-younger-the-better times. And it ain’t young in this flash in the pan industry. And it ain’t young enough to be singing about the little, tan, wine-drunk girl that he barely knows laying on his chest during his “what happens in Cancun […]
Built to Spill
by Rebecca Zaragoza Making new music is a daunting task for Doug Martsch. This could come as a surprise to Built to Spill’s ever-appreciative fan base, according to the energy at their recent show at the Echoplex in L.A., and people cannot get enough of their artful sound. My favorite thing about Built to Spill’s […]
Dr. Dog
by Marissa Ross I found out on a Wednesday afternoon I would be interviewing my favorite band on Thursday at noon. I ran around my house, singing at the top of my lungs, “I’m going to looooove you! Till the day I was born! And I’m going to caaallll yooou! So keep your ear to […]
Jakob Dylan “Seeing Things” Columbia/Starbucks Entertainment
by Jesse Hill I wanted to approach this album as objectively as possible. See, I’m that annoying Bob Dylophile. You know, the one who listens to, plays, reads, and talks about Dylan so much that everyone around him starts to loath Dylan because of it. Did you know Greil Marcus wrote a whole book about […]
Lady Antebellum “Lady Antebellum” Capitol
by LK All hats are off to Lady Antebellum for their stellar self-titled debut album. The group presents a rare and refreshing male-female lead combination that works amazingly well. Both are talented individual performers whose voices combine without competing or overpowering. Though title track “Love Don’t Live Here” features Charles Kelley’s smooth, yet slightly rustic […]
Josh Turner “Everything is Fine” MCA Nashville
by LK Talk about a firecracker—Turner’s latest album is an explosion of down home Southern country. Turner has one of the most distinct voices you’ll hear, sort of a country crooner if you will. There’s something about his trademark ultra-low, smooth sound that resonates well with listeners. His voice has that magical way of coming […]
Fleet Foxes “Fleet Foxes” Sub Pop
by Lindsay Eanet Scruff-laden hippies rejoice, for the future of music is once again in your hands. While the frenetic blips of Cut Copy and Crystal Castles may have their place, a new wave of indie bands (Yeasayer, Blitzen Trapper, Iron & Wine) have emerged with an earthier sound and earnest lyrics, bands that are […]
