“This song is about the coal industry in West Virginia in the past and present. It’s my best attempt to articulate, through music, the mixed bag of good and bad that it’s brought to us. On one hand, it has given economic mobility to countless families, including my own, in the 20th and 21st centuries and it has contributed greatly to the economic strength of the United States these many years. On the other hand, it has also taken the lives of thousands of miners, scarred the land, and has a somewhat dark history of companies taking advantage of workers and violating their rights. This song was completely influenced by my father. He’d been crawling in coal for years when he was my age, so I just wanted to make something beautiful out of that sacrifice. This was the only way I knew how.” — Charles Wesley GodwinBluegrass Situation

PopMatters premieres Dominique Pruitt’s new song “High in the Valley”
While the San Fernando Valley is just a 30-minute drive from the glitz and glam of Dominique Pruitt’s Los Angeles dreams, the windswept suburbs can often feel like a lifetime away from that bustling metropolis. This sort of lamentation lies at the center of the singer-songwriter’s first new single in just around five years, “High in the Valley”. Washed by sun-drenched reverb and country-toned, jangling guitar and pedal steel, Pruitt confidently struts between the realms of Americana and vintage pop to deliver a tune that in itself strides between the high life of LA glamour and the supposedly parochial western landscapes of the valley. It’s a feel-good rockabilly number possessed by an infectious amount of self-confidence, showcasing Pruitt as an indomitable artist primed for a comeback.
Directed by Dana Boulos and styled by Shana Anderson, Pruitt carries this empowered performance over into the song’s visual, classically shot and designed in a way that evokes an earlier, vibrant era. On the music video, Pruitt tells PopMatters, “The day we shot the video (Friday, July 13th) I was fostering this sweet little angel dog named Joey (I named him that after the Concrete Blonde song of the same name, of course). Because we shot the video in my house, he was obviously with us the whole day. He was super attached to me and couldn’t bear to be anywhere but RIGHT next to me. So in almost every single shot, he was with me, just out of frame!”…READ MORE

Americana Highways premiers Mad Crush’s new song “Making Complaints”
Americana Highways is pleased to premiere this song, “Making Complaints,” from North Carolina based band Mad Crush’s upcoming self-titled album. “Making Complaints” features vocalist Joanna Sattin, John Elderkin (The Popes) on vocals and guitar, Mark Whelan (The Popes, Veldt) on guitars, Laura Thomas (Chamber Orchestra of the Triangle, Ray Charles, Jay-Z) on violin, and drummer Chuck Garrison (Superchunk, Pipe, Zen Frisbee).
Without a bass player, Mad Crush has created rhythmically complex music, with a touch of an old-timey bluegrass feel in its upbeat, almost pop arrangements. This song is whimsical and tells a story of a mad crush along with the fact that the lyrical protagonist is “not making complaints about the things he must live without.” Mad Crush promises to combine the most endearing aspects of country with the most amusing features of pop music………..READ MORE
Imperfect Fifth features Nick Dittmeier & The Sawdusters
A lifelong resident of Jeffersonville, IN, Nick Dittmeier finds a needed reprieve from the looming presence of loss in his life with his new record All Damn Day (due October 26th). Fronting Nick Dittmeier & the Sawdusters, the singer-songwriter lingers on the omniscient Grim Reaper in a way that’s hopeful and uplifting as it is forlorn, harkening to the works of such literary giants as John Steinbeck, Ernest Hemingway, Roald Dahl and Mark Twain. Read Dittmeier‘s story on his first musical influence below:……READ MORE
Vents Magazine interviews Mad Crush
Can you talk to us more about your latest single “Time For A Love Song?” Did any event in particular inspire you to write this song?
The big idea behind our band Mad Crush is of an ongoing dialogue between two people who may or may not have the guts to give themselves over to love — they’re adults, so of course they’ve been burned and they know the price they might pay. In “Time For a Love Song?” I’m in selling mode, really trying to convince Joanna that the sky is the limit if she’ll go with her feelings. Her spoken lines are meant to undercut my enthusiasm, but also to leave a little room for the possibility. If you listen carefully, she nails that delivery. I also like that at the halfway point the key changes and the script flips — she starts to see that I might have a point…..READ MORE
