Chris Stapleton took the stage during his recent appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show for a special performance of “Loving You on My Mind.” The song, which appears on the musician’s latest studio album, Higher, was elevated to the next level as Stapleton was joined by Hudson herself and the country duo the War and Treaty.
Stapleton kicked off the song with the War and Treaty, singing alongside his band. About halfway through, following one of the singer’s soulful guitar solos, Hudson emerged from side stage to bring the performance home.

On Friday, Orville Peck premiered the video for his duet of “Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond Of Each Other” alongside country legend Willie Nelson with Rolling Stone.

What is a folk festival to do after becoming a global news story? That was the central question for this year’s Newport Folk Festival, which over the past half-decade has drawn increased attention with a slew of surprise guests, world premieres, and special appearances — from Dolly Parton to Chaka Khan, and culminating in last year’s revelatory return of Joni Mitchell after her several-decade absence from the stage.

Nikki Lane speaks as fast as she moves. The gregarious singer-songwriter is dashing around Nashville’s ornate Hotel Indigo, shaking hands and arranging stock. She’s here to put the finishing touches to her latest project – an intimate outpost of her High Class Hillbilly vintage boutique in the hotel’s lobby – and everything needs to be just perfect. “I’m an artist but I’m also an entrepreneur, big time,” Lane states, in her warm Southern twang. Finally, in her star-printed denim and with a grin as wide as the nearby Cumberland River, she sits down for a breather.
A country music mainstay for the last decade, Lane has just released her first album in five years, Denim & Diamonds. With Josh Homme of Queens of The Stone Age on production duties, her classic melodies are backed by strutting guitars and an indelible swagger.

When Brent Cobb was in grade school, he used to look forward to guest visits by Okefenokee Joe, a local singer-songwriter who taught kids about nature with songs about the Georgia swamp from which he took his name.
“I grew up in a rural place, going to public school and I remember Okefenokee Joe coming to talk. He had these recordings about swamp life and stuff and I remember how cool that was to me,” Cobb says.

Nikki Lane first toured with Lana Del Rey back in 2019, when Del Rey was on the road in support of her album Norman Fucking Rockwell! “It was really cool, because I saw that Robert Ellis went out, and Lukas Nelson went out, and Weyes Blood and Zella Day,” Lane recalls. “She was taking a lot of people in our world, and so I was really excited for my opportunity.”
But the Nashville country outlaw has known Del Rey for what she calls “a long time,” and their friendship has led...

“I’m ready to leave L.A., and I want you to come,” Lana Del Rey sings on her latest album Chemtrails Over the Country Club. “Eighty miles north or south will do.” It’s an escapist fantasy the pop singer has entertained before: stealing away from the City of Angels in a pickup truck that no one recognizes. But thankfully – for us, at least – she never acts on her wishes. On Chemtrails, her most subdued and introspective album thus far, , just as she did on her previous effort, 2019’s electrifying Norman Fucking Rockwell!

Back in October, Lana Del Rey joined Nikki Lane onstage in Austin to perform the song “Breaking Up Slowly.” On Friday, the studio version of their collaboration arrived with the release of Del Rey’s new album Chemtrails Over the Country Club.
Written by Del Rey and Lane, it’s a devastating country-tinged ballad about a relationship that disintegrates at a glacial pace — it was also inspired by the romance between George Jones and Tammy Wynette. “I don’t wanna live with a life of regret/I don’t wanna...

On Election Day, Lana Del Rey took to Instagram to announce a new LP of standards and classics — and that her upcoming album Chemtrails Over the Country Club is delayed.
Sitting inside a Denny’s and staring at an election map on an iPhone — “That looks like a lot of red to me,” she noted — Del Rey gave her fans an update. “What can I say?” she told the camera. “I have so many things to say to you. I wanted to do it properly, but maybe I’ll do it now.

When the Texas Gentlemen released their new album back in July, they aimed to catch the attention of fans with three outrageous exclamation points in its title. Floor It!!! didn’t need the extra punctuation: on its own, it’s an engrossing cosmic journey of Texas boogie and psychedelic rock that plays like an aural mushroom trip.
But a new concert film furthers that far-out quality, man, via interactive technology inspired by the popular Choose Your Own Adventure books of the Eighties. Floor It!!!: The Movie was created via the company Adventr,...

Texas Gentlemen get into spacey Seventies-rock mode in the new song “Ain’t Nothin’ New,” the first offering from the group’s upcoming second album. Titled Floor It!!! — with three exclamation points! — the project will be released July 17th.
Taking cues from Little Feat, early Elton John, and even a dash of prog rock, “Ain’t Nothin’ New” opens with some chilly synthesizer swells before warming up quickly with some chromatic piano chords and splashes of brass. There’s a dazzling series of jazzy little runs between verses and a soaring,...

“There’s alternative, Triple-a and pop. So why can’t there be pop-country and country-country?” Nikki Lane once wondered to Rolling Stone Country. “We just need two genres.”

Indigo will also boast classics like Waylon Jennings and album cuts from major...

Dave Grohl had never been to Asheville, and when a wicked snowstorm hit the same December weekend that he played Warren Haynes’ annual Christmas Jam in the North Carolina town, the Foo Fighters leader wondered if he’d ever leave. Socked in by feet of snow, Grohl couldn’t fly out. But instead of holing up in his hotel, he decided to put together an impromptu show at a venue he kept hearing people rave about.
“Everyone was talking about this place the Orange Peel,” he told Rolling Stone late last winter.

It’s a little after 2 o’clock on Great Stirrup Cay — Norwegian Cruise Line’s “private island” in the Bahamas — and the Bacardi Beach Bar is blaring Steve Earle’s escapist 1986 rocker “Someday.”
About 200 yards away in a discreet cabana, within earshot, sits Earle himself, reclining on a chair in sunglasses and a Shooter Jennings T-shirt. It’s an off-kilter juxtaposition, the sober since 1995 singer listening to one of the songs from his drugging years as it serves as the soundtrack to unleashed vacationers getting hammered on the beach.
