In some circles singer-songwriter, Katie Pruitt has been described as the female Jason Isbell, but she prefers to see herself as more of a Sheryl Crow vibing artist. Either way, we are looking forward to her debut album, Expectations, scheduled for release on February 21st.

Video of the Day: Ashley McBryde – Martha Divine
Ashley McBryde certainly stands out from the current crop of Nashville artists. Much less glossy and a lot more tattoo-centric than her contemporaries she has a bit more grit than one would expect. We’re not sure if “Martha Dive,” her latest song and video, is the first murder ballad of the year or not. Check it out and let your own eyes and ears be the judge.

Video of the Day: Jose Feliciano – The Chain (Fleetwood Mac Cover)
Jose Feliciano is back doing his thing and he has been very much been missed. This version of Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain” allows Jose to put his guitar mastery on full display with a show that would make Lindsay Buckingham proud. This is his best cover song since the cover song hall of fame worthy, “Light My Fire”.

John Anderson is still Swinging. Here, he teams up with our buddy Dan Auerbach at Easy Eye Sound on a tune that is part Country and part Indie Rock. Good Stuff. We can’t wait for the album.

Best Albums of 2020: The Just Joans – The Private Memoirs and Confessions of The Just Joans
Described as the missing link between The Magnetic Fields and The Proclaimers This Sextet from Glasgow, Scotland has been making music for over a decade now.
A clever mix of Pop sensibilities and clever songwriting their songs are short bursts of sunshine Pop with bits of Post Punk thrown in for good measure.
Their latest, chock-full of descriptive song titles including the ode to The Ramones, “Hey Ho, No Go,” “Who Does Susan Think She Is” along with the highly excellent “The One I Loathe The Least” are all narrative gems.
The band name itself comes from, ‘Just Joan’, a column in the Daily Mirror and the entire-set wears the groups Scottish heritage loudly and proudly.
