As Glide Magazine writes, whenever an established group releases a self-titled album in the middle of their career, it acts as a symbol of rebirth, a new direction, course correction, or perhaps a last gasp. St. Paul & The Broken Bones’ self-titled release finds them centering their sound and style, as frontman Paul Janeway states, “I think the band in general feels reignited”.

Did you ever make it to one of the now-famous Lockn’ Festivals in Virginia, perhaps to see the TTB among others? This recording marks the first time the iconic tribute performance to this 1970 Joe Cocker album has been available anywhere since the original concert 10 years ago. It’s an audio companion to a documentary film that the band released in 2021. “There was no better act to reproduce the Joe Cocker/Leon Russell-led infamous Mad Dogs & Englishmen ensemble than the Tedeschi Trucks Band…TTB’s musical tribute captures and exudes the exhilaration and significance of an archetypal if brief moment in rock and roll history.” – Rock & Blues Muse

This 5-piece band originally formed in Boone before moving to Asheville. Guitarists Killian Wright and Will Fentress, drummer Pauly Scott, keyboardist Isaac McMurry and bassist Ramon Garcia have just released this 7-song debut. Jam-band fans will appreciate their obvious love for acts like Widespread Panic, Phish, and the Allman Brothers Band, but they also weave in some nice pop hooks and jazz licks.

For her first album in four years, Carlile had the intention of making a bit more of a stripped-down, intimate, and personal production here. See if you hear that on these new songs, with help from producer (and member of The National) Aaron Dessner, Andrew Watt (who produced the Elton John collaboration, Who Believes in Angels?), and Justin Vernon (Bon Iver). Then there’s Phil Hanseroth (bass, electric guitar), Tim Hanseroth (electric guitar, acoustic guitar), Josh Klinghoffer (pedal steel, synthesizers, electric guitar, piano, keyboards, organ), Matt Chamberlain (drums, percussion), Chad Smith (drums, percussion), Dave Mackay (synthesizers, organ) Stewart Cole (French horn, trumpet), SistaStrings (strings) Rob Moose (strings), Blake Mills (fretless baritone guitar, acoustic guitar, electric guitar), Mark Isham (tenor saxophone) and Elton John (Rhodes piano)

Long hailed as one of Australia’s greatest songwriters, Paul Kelly has spent over four decades capturing the beauty, humor, and heartbreak of ordinary lives. On Seventy, he leans into that role with renewed purpose, drawing on classic storytelling traditions where shared tales offer comfort, meaning, and light in the dark. The album plays like a campfire circle or family gathering, each song its own tale: a ghost story, a love song, a joke, a lament. It’s a beautiful way to celebrate turning 70!

It was a Halloween show in 2000 in Kalamazoo, Michigan, that members of what would eventually become Greensky Bluegrass played their first show together. The band is celebrating their 25th anniversary with this reworking of twelve of their favorite songs over the years, this time with ten special guests.

This Austin band features a triple-threat of songwriters in Marco Gutierrez, Daniel Davis, and Colin Gilmore (son of legendary Texas troubadour Jimmie Dale Gilmore), plus seasoned bassist/producer Eric Harrison and drummer Trinidad Leal. Leal and Gutierrez were formerly in the Texas band Dirty River Boys. The Exiles' 2023 debut EP paved the way for this first full-length album from these five, who collectively hail from El Paso, Lubbock, and Amarillo. "On 8000 Days, the group’s debut album, the country rock sounds of the Flying Burrito Brothers meet the rock anthems of Bruce Springsteen and the bright country pop of the Eagles." (No Depression)

Texas-born and raised, Teresa James may now live in Los Angeles, but the Texas roadhouse blues remain strong in her. This is her 14th career album, and the Grammy- and Blues Music Award-nominated vocalist and pianist is joined here by musicians who’ve played with Taj Mahal, Bonnie Raitt, Delbert McClinton, and Eric Burdon, among others.
