Born and raised in rural southeast Texas, Nick Taylor captures that Red-Dirt Americana sound in this debut album. The result is an impressive combination of sounds that veer from the gentle reflection of “Futures Past,” the evocative tones of “3AM On The Interstate” the easy embrace of “Carry You Home,” and the heartbreak and happenstance of “Broken Souls,” through to the sashay and serenade of “Getting Along,” the heartfelt homage to a special “Kentucky Girl,” and forward through the driving and determined “Heart on the Run.” As the name of the album suggests, Taylor hopes that these tracks will help his listeners to feel less alone in their struggles.

It’s the first album in 8 years for Ziggy, and a bit of an introspective one for him, as he explores ideas of healing, compassion, and perspective. It features friends Trombone Shorty, Sheila E., Nikka Costa, and Jake Shimabukuro. This one was recorded at 432 Hz, instead of the standard 440. Why? “Because it's standard. We don't want anything standard. We don't want to follow anybody’s rules. We were always searching for the higher musical vibration that can connect more to people, y’know?

Eric D. Johnson, a.k.a. Fruit Bats, says this new album centers around a mountain from which one might take in a commanding view of one’s surroundings. “But the mountain that gives us this vantage point,” Johnson says in this case, “is made out of the trash that we’ve created, the collective weight of the past and where it’s taken us.” Thus, the foundation of this album’s name. The album was recorded with no click tracks, no comped vocals, and minimal overdubs, and with frequent collaborator Thom Monahan returning to provide additional production and The Landfill’s final mix.

New Tunes at Two Monday 9/6: The Bamboos – Piece of Me

Singer/songwriter Kaitlin Butts has been on the rise in Country/Americana circles lately, and this new album is inspired by Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! musical, to rather hilarious effect. “Every summer when I was a kid my parents would take me to see a performance of ‘Oklahoma!’ at a local amphitheater, and I’ve felt such a strong connection to it my entire life,” says Butts. “It’s a love story but there’s also a murder and a little bit of an acid-trippy feel to it at times; it’s set in the same place where I come from. Once I got the idea for this album I couldn’t believe I hadn’t thought of it before, and it turned into something that completely encompasses who I am and what I love.”
