Hi, everyone. I will NO LONGER BE POSTING TO TWITTER, but want to keep this account up as an archive of the important work you've shared with me, from Americana before it was cool to music that demanded LGBTQ+, POC, and women deserved their place in country music. (co'd)

RT @NashvilleScene: In the run up to @AMERICANAFEST, contributor @adobeteardrops talks with musicians and organizers @secretemchysoc1 and @…

Um, Jennifer? takes the uncertainty and awkardness of transition and transforms them into hilarious queer punk. The duo's ironic sense of humor on The Girl Class leads to an inviting vulnerability -- as well as a new one-liner a minute.

Kaia Kater has proven herself to be a master of weaving tapestries, and Strange Medicine is truly Kater at her peak. These songs about alienation, isolation, and an anxious eye towards the future embrace Kater's musical curiosity.

REVIEW: It's usually a good song when the opening chords of an album make you think "Oh, fuck yeah." With his new album Unremarkable Lives, RR Williams has become the heir apparent of Heartland Rock.

REVIEW: @TeniRanemusic explores life's greatest upheavals on Goldenrod. But this album is by no means a downer; instead, Rane uses string quartets, jazz tones, and an earnest songwriting approach inherited from folk music to navigate those changes.

Or for those lucky few, text me! Threads has a lot of flaws, and I still think Mastodon is the best platform for news and music. (Bluesky is pretty useless unless you want to talk shit. So please find me there!) Unfortunately, that ship has sailed long ago. Hope to see you soon!

REVIEW: This is the kind of music that justifies Americana as an art form, rather than a marketing gimmick. @TheHoneycutters are making some of the most thoughtful, considered music in the genre and command your attention.

We've got this week's BEST Americana: - @thehoneycutters' breathtaking country-tinged folk - @TeniRanemusic's uplifting jazz folk - Heartland rock heir apparent RR William - Experimental wizardry from Kaia Kater - Hilarious trans punk from Um Jennifer?

PREMIERE: Linda Dunnavant approaches conflict with calm and acceptance on her dreamy Americana single "Own It"

HEY! LISTEN: Brei Carter serves up a sizzling summer groove to play for that moment you realize you're better off without that asshole who broke your heart.

This week: laid-back Americana crooners from Mike Montrey Band, Tanner Porter's dazzling must-listen art rock, Marley Hale's ultimate classic country vibes, meditations on faith from The Singer and the Songwriter, and Americana soul from Savannah Brister

REVIEW: On Dumb Hope, @VonBieker elegantly captures the irony of living in these times: we want to do better by each other, but we are trapped by a system whose mechanisms have never been laid more bare

HEY! LISTEN: Bandits on the Run honor lead singer Regina Strayhorn's ancestors on the powerful, transcendent "You Are Not a Ghost" #Americana #IndieRock #ArtRock #IndiePop

REVIEW: @KielyConnell's music has a muscular modernity to it that feels like it's got one foot in Olivia Rodrigo and the other in honky-tonk bars -- ushering in the next generation of roots rebels.

REVIEW: On Infinite Pest, Regan Ashton makes a fine art of folk punk, relishing in tempo changes, rowdy gang vocals, and tales of the gutter that must make his loved ones blanch

Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover, and the art on Bad Decisions, the latest EP from @EddyLeeRyder, lets you know what you're in for. With puckish hints of Zep and Heart in her Laurel Canyon stylings, this EP is a fantastic trip

RT @KielyConnell: 🙏💪🎉

Weekly playlists are BACK, and we've got @americanaquarium, Regan Ahston, @kielyconnell, @eddyleeryder, and @vonbieker with rip-roaring Americana, hope, and heartache
