Chillfiltr Features The Real Billy Keane’s Track “Never Give Up”

the real billy keane chillfiltr never give up track feature

Billy Keane is a founding member of indie-rock group The Whiskey Treaty Roadshow, a collective of singer-songwriters backed by Wilco’s Pat Sansone on bass and ex-Black Crowes drummer Steve Gorman. His new release “Never Give Up” is a beautiful and bittersweet song, inspired by and released under quarantine during the coronavirus pandemic.

“Never Give Up” was written and recorded at home in a flash of inspiration just as the nation was ordered to shelter in place. This dreamy, folk-styled anthem combines a simple figure on acoustic guitar with an instantly infectious melody and Keane’s gritty, emotional tenor. With the subtle additions of percussion, piano, and synthesizer, The Real Billy Keane delivers a sense of community, in the laid-back, pop-friendly musical space between Iron & Wine and Luke Sital-Singh. In this heartfelt and uplifting ode to strength, solidarity, and perseverance, we fight for a hopeful future, even as we learn to lean on each other in times of stress. READ MORE…

In Case You Missed It: Neon Moon’s Single “Darlin” Featured In Come Here Floyd

‘Darlin’ is the latest single from Los Angeles-via-Nashville husband-and-wife duo Neon Moon. They’ve been covered previously at PopMatters, No Depression, Wide Open Country and more.

When Neon Moon wrote and recorded the song at Nashville’s Forty-One Fifteen studio with producer/bassist Taylor Bray (front-of-house engineer for chart-topping road dogs Dan + Shay), they’d been listening to a lot of Willie’s Roadhouse on SiriusXM, and were trying to tap into the essence of iconic country songs like “Crazy.”

Michelle Billingsley’s “Once in a While” Added To “Discoveries” Playlist on Spotify

Based in Chicago, Billingsley attracted the attention of legendary producer Brian Deck (Josh Ritter, Iron & Wine, Nathaniel Rateliff), who recorded and plays drums & percussion on her forthcoming debut album, Not the Marrying Kind (out June 12). American Songwriter recently called Michelle’s work “charming” and Glide said it was “biting & enigmatic” with the “knock ’em dead bravado of Nancy Sinatra and the blunt storytelling of Neko Case.”

New single “Once in a While” is a gorgeous, sparse Americana ballad—a duet with country & Western revivalist Wild Earp that sounds plucked straight from ’70s Nashville-outsider doc Heartworn Highways. As evidenced by this track, at her best, Billingsley channels Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark & John Prine as good as anybody working today. “Once in a While” is as genuine as they come, a nakedly honest series of vignettes about a steady hookup with an expiration date, yet one that’s anchored by a disarmingly sweet and genuine mutual appreciation that’s unburdened by expectations…

I’ll be your once in a while, babe
Just for so long, babe
Gone by the morning’s first light,
you’ve got to be getting on
One side of an album, babe
No time for breakfast, babe
I’ll be your once in a while

Big Takeover Magazine Premieres New Young Antiques Music Video For “Goin’ Home,” Featuring Kelly Hogan

Young Antiques’ latest, Another Risk of the Heart, their first album in nearly a decade, is a bold reaffirmation of purpose, an impassioned, hook-laden love letter from singer/guitarist Blake Rainey — to his bandmates, Blake Parris (bass, backing vocals) and John Speaks (drums), and to the act of making rock ‘n’ roll itself.

The jangle/power pop band’s new video for “Goin’ Home,” a heartfelt track which features Kelly Hogan (Decemberists, Neko Case, The Rock*A*Teens), makes a relevant statement about being alone… together.
