Nashville is Music City. Every year some of the worlds best albums are made in this city and by the artists who live here. As DJs and ambassadors of the city we have put in the hours listening to as much music as we can and here are our favorite Nashville releases of 2022. Celia’s […]
On CAZIMI, Caitlin Rose’s first new album in nine years, the songwriter has found new ways to add to her music’s depth and dimension.
When folk trio Bonny Light Horseman visited WNXP’s Sonic Cathedral earlier this year*, I somehow restrained myself from making a Bad Company reference. BLH’s debut record was titled Bonny Light Horseman, and included a song that shared that name. Rock supergroup Bad Company did the same thing back in 1974, and the self-referential title track […]
“Out with the bangs, in with the twang,” Olsen taps into ’70s country influences on her latest full length. Angel Olsen has carried the “sad girl indie” label for nearly a decade, despite how much her sound has evolved. She’s veered from the early lo-fi folk sounds of her 2012 debut Half Way Home to […]
Jewly Hight: There is always a lull in new music before and during and after the holidays, and then so much new stuff comes out in late January and February and beyond. You took on the most impressive undertaking of cataloging a slew of releases on the horizon. What did it take to compile all […]

Music discovery is our mission. So while we decided to forego a ranked list or countdown after our first full year on-air, we did round […]
This week is a big one for releases from artists we love and have been playing a lot lately like Parquet Courts and La Luz along with a whole crate of great new Nashville music from Erin Rae (the video below features our own Emily Young!), Halfnoise, Elel, Jackson + Sellers, and an artist that […]
Another week in Nashville and plenty to do. We connected with Zach and Chris of Do615 about live music happening at the Brooklyn Bowl this week with Maggie Rose album release with Southern Avenue & Bre Kennedy on Thursday and Langhorne Slim with Erin Rae and Travesura on Friday. Also a couple of tribute shows […]
This was a fun one. Well, two. It appeals to reason that a good number of songs written before the internet age were about communication on the telephone, so these playlists include a higher concentrate of tunes from the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s. Who could forget the time capsule that cites both a now-defunct phone […]
