Years before David Burchfield refined his distinctive blend of heart-on-sleeve indie folk, Woody Guthrie wanderlust and effortlessly genuine Americana, the Kansas City native earned his songwriting stripes in the trenches alongside like-minded artists Joe Pug and David Ramirez. Growing up in a house soundtracked by Bonnie Raitt & Neil Young records, Burchfield picked up the guitar at age 12, and cut his teeth singing Sunday-morning hymns in the church. Later, he spent his college summers working at a wilderness area in New Mexico, picking old-time songs with friends around the campfire at night.

Wide Open Country spotlights the “storytelling chops” of Michelle Billingsley, premiering her new single “Once in a While” ft. Wild Earp

“Once in a While,” the latest song shared from Michelle Billingsley’s debut album Not the Marrying Kind, out June 12 on Western Myth Records, teams the Chicago-based singer-songwriter with fellow band leader Wild Earp. No one’s going to confuse this particular example of the pair’s harmonies with those of Emmylou Harris and Don Williams, but that’s by design. A song about the insecurities that arise in a relationship works best as an out of sync conversation, and Billingsley and Earp prove their storytelling chops by nailing the right level of disconnection.

American Songwriter debuts lead single from Young Antiques’ first album in nearly a decade, spotlighting the astute songwriting that’s made the band a cult favorite

Young Antiques Blake Rainey John Speaks Blake Parris Atlanta power pop jangle rock music band rock and roll American songwriter baby robot media music publicity PR promo promotionLike a Deep South cross between Tom Petty and Elvis Costello, Atlanta power pop trio Young Antiques have always been one of those bands who manage to write mature, impeccably intricate rock songs without ever making them sound overthought. Fans have been starved for more material as the band has been on hiatus, but that is about to change when the band release their new single, “I Think You’ll Never.” The song is taken from Another Risk of the Heart, their first album in a decade, which is set for release on June 5.

“I Think You’ll Never” is a love song – but it’s different from most, in that lyrics tell a story of a relationship where ending is purposefully left ambiguous: it’s unclear whether or not the couple will work it out or not. It’s a much more realistic look at love, which is rarely as simple as most songs would have us believe. Musically, it’s an intricate yet energetic slice of classic jangle rock, and the latest example of the astute songwriting that has made Young Antiques a cult favorite with fans since their album Wardrobe for a Jet Weekend set them apart from their peers two decades ago.
