You have to give Louisville basketball player Kevin Ware credit. He's a really good sport. The sophomore who broke his leg last weekend delivered David Letterman's Top 10 list Thursday night. No. 1: "At least my bracket's not busted."

Songs about finding joy and healing, particularly for those who have been marginalized by mainstream society, are what you’ll find on this new release from the Nashville musician, songwriter, and producer. "As I continue to be a musician, the question I keep at the forefront is, 'Is this helping build bridges or is it hurting?' Like, 'Am I becoming a weird corporate shill, or something like that?'" Stylistically, Oladokun brings in West African, soul, country, and hip-hop on this 2nd album of hers. Chris Stapleton, Mt. Joy, the McCrary Sisters, and Manchester Orchestra are among the guest artists.

This album marks the band's fourth studio release with their blend of early blues, jazz, jug band, country, old-time, and bluegrass. Recorded at the Bomb Shelter in Nashville, Tennessee, Ozark Shine captures the band at full stride. The core creatives of Sad Daddy are Brian Martin on guitar, Melissa Carper on bass, Joe Sundell on banjo, and Rebecca Patek on fiddle – each of whom perform with a variety of other artists, including each other in different incarnations.

Welcome to the 18th album from this Weaverville native, Swannanoa resident, nationally recognized sage, and a true survivor. Shortly after his cancer diagnosis last year, Malcolm and Jared Tyler decided to get some new songs of his recorded, just the two of them, not knowing what the future held in store for them. Fortunately, it was a whole album’s worth of more great “Malcolmisms”. The songs here cover a variety of challenges we’re all vulnerable to: cancer, addiction, greed, hatred, inexplicable injustice… Malcolm helps us wrestle with them, as he has done for maybe a few lifetimes now. Bits & Pieces was produced by Jared and by Brian Brinkerhoff, and recorded mostly at Echo Mountain Studios in Asheville.

In the height of lockdown in 2020, banjo extraordinaire Tony Trischka received a mysterious package in his mailbox that would significantly change his next few years. Its contents: an USB drive full of rare recordings of Earl Scruggs jamming with John Hartford, mostly taken from private gatherings at Earl’s house during the 80s and 90s. Naturally, Trischka began pouring over the more than 200 songs, transcribing the all-new solos, tones, and tricks from the man he’d been studying for over half a century. Now we have this new album, filled with wonderful collaborations from other artists including Del McCoury, Billy Strings, Sierra Ferrell, Molly Tuttle, and the Gibson Brothers.

Born in Aleppo, Syria, to Armenian parents, Bedouine, a.k.a. Azniv Korkejian, grew up in Saudi Arabia until her parents won the green card lottery to emigrate to the U.S. Since then, she has called Houston, Boston, Savannah, Lexington, and Los Angeles home. Needless to say, themes of immigration, displacement, and searching for home run through many of her beautiful songs. Neon Summer Skin explores this feeling of safety long before one can fully understand the concept, a feeling she believes every child deserves.

Following his Middle album from last year, which we enjoyed spinning, and millions of new Instagram and TikTok followers (and about as many songs in the fields under power lines), Jesse Welles releases his sixth studio album, Masks Off. It’s the culmination of his work, as he came to prominence by performing songs in the Arkansas wilderness where he was raised and where he currently resides. “These songs were highlights of the past year, and they sort of speak to the moment we’re at,” he states. “I’m not trying to tell folks how to think or get a reaction. All I do is write my lyrics, make my records, and cross my fingers.” Jesse plays in Asheville on July 25th.
