The latest project for Indiana based Tim Showalter. His Anthemic brand of Americana brings to mind My Morning Jacket.

Live Video of the Day: Mumford and Sons – Guiding Light (Saturday Night Live)
Video of the Day: Alice Wallace – Santa Ana Winds
The first video from here recently released record Into The Blue. The song tells a poignant story of the impacts of the California fires that were fueled by the Santa Ana winds. A powerful song from a grower of a record.
Video of the Day: The Willows – False Light
From their 2018 release Through The Wild. The willows are Jade Rhiannon and husband Cliff Ward. Their intoxicating blend of Americana and English Folk will have you searching for that old Fairport Convention record you have up in the attic.
Video of the Day: The Mekons – Lawrence of California
The Mekons have a new record out and that is always a very good thing. “Lawrence of California” is the first single from their 2019 release Deserted.
Song of the Day: Mercury Rev (feat. Lucinda Williams) – Ode To Billie Joe
On February 8th Mercury Rev will release The Delta Sweete Revisited a song for song tribute to Bobbie Gentry’s 1968 release. Each song will feature a different female singer to include Hope Sandoval, Margo Price and Susanne Sundfor. Of course, you can’t release a Bobbie Gentry tribute record without including the iconic “Ode To Billie Joe.” The version that ends the record here is a brooding atmospheric beauty with Lucinda Williams playing the lead role.
