Molly Venter (Red Molly) and Eben Pariser (Roosevelt Dime) are a couple, both on and off the stage. This is their third album, but they’re new to us. We’re getting to know them this week, though, as we’ll also have them live in Studio B on Wednesday!

Renowned US-Dutch gospel-soul powerhouse Michelle David and The True-tones mark a bold new chapter with their forthcoming album, Soul Woman, out on Record Kicks. Building on the critical acclaim of 2024’s Brothers and Sisters, a record that held a mirror up to the world's complexities, the new LP Soul Woman turns inward — a deeply personal exploration of identity, healing, and spiritual resilience.

England’s James Hunter provides tight, timeless R&B and Soul with his band; we love each and every album of his! A former guitarist and backup vocalist for Van Morrison, James has a track on this new one featuring his former boss, on this, his first album on Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound record label.

Melbourne, Australia’s Steph Strings has been making a name for herself as an impressive acoustic guitarist at home and abroad the past few years, after starting her guitar lessons at age 9 (and piano at age 7). Early influences include Celtic players, blues artists, and folk storytellers. After three EP releases, she has released her first full-length album, and a North American and European tour is underway.

This is the 10th full-length album from Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia artist Jenn Grant. It’s a modern-day classic of country and Americana, elevated by Jenn’s unmistakable pop-infused charm.

Jason Burleson, Gary Hultman, Shawn Lane, Tim Stafford, and Wayne Taylor are celebrating their band’s 30th anniversary with their first live album! And it was recorded just up the road from us at East Tennessee State University’s Powell Recital Hall in March 2025.

The Australian singer/songwriter/rocker sometimes exhibits a few traits of being a “creature of habit” – who among us doesn’t? Hers might include issues that show up in some of her songwriting: self-paralysis, indecision, and other aspects of depression. But a look at her 20-year career shows a wonderful evolution of musical influences, brilliant songwriting, and growing self-love, no better represented than in this new album. Oh, and among the changes she’s made in her life, she’s moved from her Melbourne, Australia home to Los Angeles.

Buoyant, smooth, and disarming, the music of singer-songwriter/producer Boy Golden (a.k.a. Liam Duncan, from Winnipeg) is charmingly undefinable, drawing lines from the Tulsa sound to North Carolina indie, New Jersey DIY to swampy New Orleans folk. From opening riff to swirling final notes, Best of Our Possible Lives ripples like the sun on the lake, an invitation for us to seek our own bliss.

Guy Clark's landmark album, Old No. 1, introduced the Texas songwriter to listeners in 1975. While not a commercial success by any stretch, the album was highly praised by the press. Now, 50 years later, Guy Clark LLC's Truly Handmade Records releases this tribute, a track-by-track homage featuring some of country and Americana's finest.

The ever-prolific Charley Crockett has released this 20-song finale to his trilogy of albums, following Lonesome Drifter and Dollar A Day, each of which were released last year (and ranked #5 and #10, respectively, in WNCW Listeners’ Top 100 of 2025.) “The Sagebrush Trilogy has always been about a man trying to find his name in this world. Lonesome Drifter was the wanderer—boots full of highway dust, chasing a song and a dollar. Dollar A Day was the rustler. A man learning what hunger will make you do. Now the Age of the Ram tells the story of the outlaw. The kind that don’t set out to be a legend, but winds up one anyway.”
