“Redwood Tree” effectively isolates a moment in time.

Single Review: Kelsea Ballerini, “Hole in the Bottle”

Single Review: Runaway June, “We Were Rich”

“We Were Rich” was recorded nearly a year ago, yet its release as a single now feels timely.

Luke Combs directly addresses COVID-19, Gabby Barrett delivers a disappointing sophomore single, and Little Big Town release the worst single from their otherwise great new album.

A strong sophomore effort from Ingrid Andress.

Single Review: Brothers Osborne, “All Night”

May 21, 2020 Zackary Kephart 0
