  • A woman in Conyers, Ga., cleaned house and donated a lot of items to Goodwill. Her adult son would like the coffee mug she gave away back — including the wad of cash inside it.
  • Matt Pond heard Virginian and former Asheville resident Alexa Rose mention his band in her song “Wild Peppermint” and reached out with thanks and an invitation to work on some songs together. This sweet and clear-eyed collection is the result: a warm 5-song EP that shows their mutual respect for each other’s music. “The first time I heard Matt Pond PA was on a high school mix CD circa 2011”, Alexa commented on Instagram. “I was obsessed with the song Snow Day and played it over and over again. Without a doubt, I would have been a top 1% listener if Spotify had existed back then.”
  • She’s found great success in the country/pop world with her last few albums, as evidenced by her seven Grammy wins and tremendous record sales. But she maintains a strong sense of personal connection and acoustic foundation on this, her 5th album, exquisitely produced by long time collaborators Daniel Tashian and Ian Fitchuk. Remaining true to your roots and convictions is perhaps to be expected from someone who counts John Prine, Alison Krauss, and Dolly Parton as her favorite role models! The album was primarily recorded in New York’s famed Electric Lady Studios, and is likely to be a Top 10 favorite of a lot of music fans.
  • It’s Country music the way we like here at ‘NCW: the spirit of George Jones & Tammy Wynette, the feeling of honky-tonking on the dance floor, the sounds of fiddle, mandolin and pedal steel… Or maybe you call it Soul music? Caleb and Reeb from the Pacific Northwest have put their region on the map as a home for old-school country and old-time music (Foghorn Stringband!), and have co-written most of these songs. Fiddler Joel Savoy, guitarist Chris Scruggs, and others join them on this wonderful album that just ranked #82 in WNCW’s Top 100.
  • 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.”
