The High Divers “Ride With You” – Listen

May 20, 2019 Jonathan Aird 0

Recent events in Alabama would have Margaret Atwood spinning in her grave if she was dead. Still, good to have resistance from the americana community. RS reports: “John Prine and Margo Price have joined the chorus of voices coming […]

Interview: Jim White on Trey Blake and the backstory of “Precious Bane”

February 12, 2026 1

Classic Americana Albums: Courtney Marie Andrews “Honest Life” (Loose, 2017)

April 29, 2020 1

Courtney Marie Andrews ‘Honest Life’ beholds some life-affirming writing. The use of confessional and observational writing coupled with the liquid cool backdrop of the band make this album quite simply, an unmissable modern-day classic of Americana. […]
