Chris Stapleton & Slash
"Oh Well"
Chris Stapleton always hits homers, with his incredible voice leading the charge. Usually, that's on one of his own songs, but his cover songs are usually worth seeking out too. This one is no different -- it finds Chris teaming up with legendary Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash for a blistering take on the Peter Green / Fleetwood Mac classic "Oh Well." The song will be on Slash's upcoming album "Orgy of the Damned." Buckle up.
The Mavericks w/ Nicole Atkins
"Live Close By (Visit Often)"
The Mavericks are one of America's best bands. Period. If you're looking for evidence of that claim, check out almost any of their albums -- or the new single from their upcoming album "Moon & Stars." This song finds Raul Malo and band performing a song cowritten and originally performed by late country starlet KT Oslin.
Maggie Rose
"No One Gets Out Alive"
Powerhouse vocalist Maggie Rose returns with another soulful album with the recent release of "No One Gets Out Alive." The album finds her continuing to mine her soul and roots influences, backed by her incredible voice. The title track to the album is one of the many highlights.
Kyshona feat. Keb Mo
"Carolina"
Nashville-based singer/songwriter Kyshona got her start as a music therapist, writing her first songs with patients, students and inmates. She began writing on her own and found her own voice. And what a voice it is -- check out this groovy slice of soul from her new project LEGACY. The song features a little help for the legendary Keb Mo too!
The Avett Brothers
"Country Kid"
The Avett Brothers are back with a new self-titled album featuring this fun trip down memory lane -- with a great music video to boot!
