Kacey’s album is out everywhere on May 1st, and I can’t wait, and so far, she’s put out two songs from the 13-song tracklist, including […]

Not a way you want to end a show. As an artist, there is no denying that embarrassing things will happen to you while on stage. It might happen early in your career, or you could go years and years unscathed by shameful moments, but it’s bound to happen at some point.

You’ve likely never heard of Dan Penn and, if that’s the case, one reason is probably that you’re not the sort of person who reads songwriting credits. If you were, you’d know this Alabama native from the many popular songs he has written or co-written—the Box Tops’ “Cry Like a Baby,” Janis Joplin’s “A Woman […]

Fantastic Cat’s Cat Out of Hell arrives with the band’s usual grin intact, but beneath the loose charm is a sturdier kind of record: one built on shared voices, accumulated mileage, and the small existential leaks that start showing up in adult life.
