Ali Larter won’t stand for any Taylor Sheridan slander. It’s safe to say that one of the break out roles of Landman’s first season was Ali Larter as Angela. The series that tackles the dramatic ins-and-outs of  the oil industry boasts an impressive cast, with the likes of Billy Bob Thornton and Demi Moore both playing major roles. But one role that really stood out in the first season (and is sure to continue to do so in the second) […]

A night they’ll never forget. These days, it seems like there’s nothing Zach Top cannot do. Riding the highs of his debut album last year, the Washington native has simply flown through the ranks in country music over the past 18 months. Whether it’s his ACM win for New Male Artist this past April, his high praise from fellow artists such as Dierks Bentley or his continued domination on social media, Top has, without a doubt, become the genre’s new […]

Miss Emily – The Medicine Some older music aficionados will find several songs that come across (“My Freedom”) as a reminder of the bluesy vocals of Lydia Pense (Cold Blood) & Genya Ravan (Ten Wheel Drive). Both ladies possessed the vocal roots application Miss Emily provides so well & remarkably pristinely. Not as gutsy & […]

Henri Herbert – Get It While It’s Hot This is a straight-out driving old school rock ‘n’ roll collection. Though it dips its head in a barrel of retro influences, it does not come up wet with vintage, antiquated, scrapyard oldies. Instead, it does what the original rockers did – made it sound challenging, danceable […]

Their forte is part Del Lords, through ear-caressing “Tess of Soho,” that brings an earthiness to an urban geography that glides into a partially rootsy Grateful Dead-era (“Sunset”) plaintive […]
