Brock Davis – Nothing Lasts Forever This set gets off to a wonderful upbeat start with the soaring pedal steel guitar of Russ Pahl & the enthusiastic vocals of Brock Davis (piano) on “All of You.” Definite feel-good music right out of the gate from the 14-track self-produced Nothing Lasts Forever (Drops Feb 27/Raintown Records/48:17).

The hit song was included on Koe’s 2016 album Noise Complaint, and […]

The collab I’ve been waiting for since last year. Last July, Stephen Wilson Jr. opened up for Eric Church during his 3 night run at Red Rocks. And every night, I kept waiting for SWJ to appear during Church’s set. The combination of the two makes too much sense: They’re both trailblazers who are unapologetically themselves, with their own sound that pushes the boundaries and sets the standard when it comes to both songwriting and musicianship. Of course Church has […]

The collaboration we didn’t know we needed. From the outside looking in, there isn’t much in common between Taylor Hunnicutt and John Moreland. Hunnicutt is the female lead singer of a blistering hot southern rock-leaning honky tonk outfit. Though they’ve been honing their sound and touring relentlessly for quite a while now to build their brand, she and her band are one of the latest up-and-coming bands out of Alabama to catch fire, and it feels like they are on […]
