Glide Magazine premieres Fred Wickham’s new single “People Talk”

Sometimes it’s good to embrace the past, especially when it comes to musical styles. Kansas City, MO-based indie-folk/Americana artist Fred Wickham does exactly that with his down home style of music that draws on Dixieland jazz, bluegrass, country and old timey Appalachian sounds. There is something comforting to Wickham’s approach to music, which perhaps comes from the honesty and simplicity of the sounds and lyrics he creates. This is certainly true for his new album Mariosa Delta, which drops on September 29th. 

The album is definitely a departure from Wickham’s roots-rock/alt-country background with its laid back rhythms and thoughtful lyrics. Mariosa Delta was produced by notable Midwest music figure Lou Whitney (Wilco, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, The Morells), making it the the last LP Whitney produced before his death. Perhaps it’s no surprise that the album focuses heavily  on the tolls of death, grief, crumbling relationships and total loss. Wickham tackles these dark themes throughout the 13-track set of unexpectedly upbeat country/Americana tunes featuring honky-tonk piano, bluegrass-inspired fiddle, and New Orleans/Dixieland jazz-tinged horn accompaniments.

Today Glide Magazine is excited to premiere the tune “People Talk” a buoyant, shuffling track that leans heavily on Wickham’s Dixieland sensibility. The song features thumping upright bass, emotive strings, and twinkling keys, evoking a sense of a time long gone without feeling stale or rehashed.

Reflecting on the inspiration behind the song, Wickham has this to say:

“Ever walk into a room with a friend and everyone looks at you like ‘something must be going on with those two?’ Even when nothing at all is going on? That’s pretty much what ‘People Talk’ is about. Its usually better to shrug it off than get worked up over something like that, hence the lighthearted nature of the song.

I love Sam Platt’s brushwork on this song and Richard Burgess’s upright bass is just perfect. Joe Terry plays a great piano solo and Dave Wilson’s fiddle has that Stephane Grappelli feel that ties the whole thing together. Not jazz but kind of jazzy. I think everyone was very happy with this track.” READ MORE

Bust Premieres New Song from Karen and the Sorrows

You know that almost-but-never relationship you had (or have, bless your heart) that kept you coming back for more as it unraveled your sanity (and, in my case, elicited a nine-month stream of subtweets)? So do Brooklyn-based “queer country trailblazers” Karen & the Sorrows, and their single “I Was Just Your Fool” from their upcoming album, The Narrow Place (out August 25th), will have you swaying back and forth in solidarity with that heart-wrenching feeling.

The sound aligns with old-school country but incorporates an alternative undercurrent that boosts the hipness. Drummer Tami Johnson keeps the beat as singer-songwriter Karen Pittelman narrates the heartbreak with a sweetly sad Dolly Parton-esque voice and Elana Redfield backs it up with “lonesome pedal steel guitar.” Don’t know what pedal steel guitar is? Neither did I, but I knew it when I heard it because I felt it’s haunting electricity. (For this album, the group enlisted bassist Gerard Kouwenhoven to accompany their soulful vibes.)

Heartbreak and loss are recurring themes that weave The Sorrows’ new album, The Narrow Place, together. And even if country music isn’t your scene, you’ll be undoubtedly moved by their modern-yet-classic auditory aesthetic and socially-progressive inclusivity with songs ranging from a “queer reimagining of the bro-country pickup truck ode to a Jewish family story about immigration and race.”

Glide Magazine reviews Bern Kelly’s album Lost Films

The obvious question that comes to mind on first exposure to Nashville singer/songwriter Bern Kelly and his excellent new album is, “Who is this guy and how has he managed to elude wider recognition. In simple, straightforward terms, suffice it to say that Lost Films is the kind of album that qualifies as an instant classic — not because it bends the boundaries but rather, because it encapsulates what’s within those parameters and effectively brings that music to the fore.

The Bluegrass Situation premieres Fairbanks & the Lonesome Light’s new single “Pieces”

“‘Pieces’ is one of those songs that kind of wrote itself in a very short amount of time. I was just at the beginning of my decision to try and steer away from drinking and was wrestling with the two versions of my drinking reality: The romanticized freedom and beautiful chaos that was undoubtedly real, on one hand, and the terrifying ugliness and fairly un-poetic destruction that was becoming undeniable, on the other.
